Ahoy there! So much water has flowed under the bridge since I was last here, I don' know where to start, but here we go~
Sorry to be gone without warning for so long - I haven't forgotten you and abandoned blog. Here I am, sailing back home. Hope everyone hasn't forgotten me. This is one of umpty-doodle (of course that's a real number - isn't it? I've been using that term for umpteen years!) different painting perspectives made over the last ten days, for an assigned theme about finding your way back home. Thanks to my daughter and SIL, I received a new (to me) monitor in the nick of time to meet the deadline. I can see you much better now too. Whew - what a ride the last couple of weeks have been - but I'm so glad I went along on it. Sometimes to follow your dreams, you just have to just catch the wind when it blows the right way and sail solo for a bit - adjusting course and patching your sails along the way, as needed - hoping for a happy landing.
There have been all sorts of other fun stuff happening while I was gone from here too - like the other day, when my little punkin' Bonbon turned - 24! I don't remember giving her permission to get all grown up and married and twenty-something. Ok, maybe I did. Really though, it's just so hard to believe my baby's, well, definitely not a baby anymore. She was still in college, living at home when I started this blog thing, for pete's sake...Where does the time go, anyway?
Speaking of which, I have to go fix dinner now - but I will be back again soon. I mean it this time! There are some Winter Dream stories I was working on for you, before all this deadline-birthdays-anniversary-OWOH-everything else, stuff started, so I'll finish those up and share them with you in the next day or so and find my way back here again.
Glad to see you around. Happy Belated Birthday to your baby. I can't believe our babies are grown. Hell the youngest grandbaby here is 6 now. Love Hugs and Blessings

I love that doodle - that sense of a living scene, of an environment you could explore. It's the kind of thing I've always loved to see in art.

The view looks great from there Mz Tinker. I guess the higher we fly and the more time that passes until
we can almost see forever.
Love this painting
and you!
