The Ocean, a watercolor by Madonnart

 
I am an ocean being. Facinated by the changing colors and energized by the movement, I will sit for hours trying to analyze the blend of Paynes Grey that makes the water so translucent or cloud structures and wave froth. Not always exciting for my travelling companions....the little black dog and pacing man.....but the blue...is it Cerulean or Indigo.......

Victoria

It started here.We arrived and the Ferry was on fire. Beginning of Thanksgiving weekend and 1 very large ferry short...gasp!

Then we ate...excellent homemade Miso noodle soup...and brought some home.

The homes are incredible, Victorian and the landscaping even Martha would find amazing.
The scenery...my goodness.......sorry....must go and weep a bit....too..too pretty.

Back from Island hopping

Back from a wonderful weekend in Victoria. My BIL, Brian, the brother I should have married, let us stay in his ocean view condo. Brian eats chocolate,drinks wine, enjoys good coffee and never looks at price tags. Dave, the brother I got, eats raw organic foods only....no sugar, no flour, no dairy and no alcohol and loves Thrift shops.Good thing he has learned the importance of thinking twice and speaking once and thus we are still married and he lives. The weather was sunny and warm and Thanksgiving dinners were boundless.I was a happy wife made even happier by an amazing Thrift shop find of 3 incredibly beaded Sari's; can't lift them but will take pics for next entry. Prepare to be amazed!

My Hero

Sorry dear Reader, I am still in a Nie Nie embrace and this lovely piece by Natasha makes me feel anything is possible even necessary to my life force.I think I am the Accidental tourist of everyday life and stuff just happens. Good stuff like finding a Kernels with Double Rum and Butter Carmel Corn and other stuff like dropping my computer and breaking the wireless mouse thingy. I see Stephanie Nielson and know that the good stuff just doesn't happen. We have to want it to happen and then comes the work- work- work part that makes it happen. Don't you just love her?

Happy Anniversary

 
They said it wouldn't last.....he was too difficult.....she was from peasent stock but it did... and he wasn't THAT difficult afterall.
