Low on Photos

I sure have been on vacation today in the picture taking department.  I must be numb from the election.  So this is what I've got.  Gary went down to Dan's to have coffee with his buddies while Little Wonder and I got off to another slow start.

I did make some Apple Betty late morning.

Looking forward to having some later tonight.

At one I was at the library to play bridge.  My partner was Terry and we were sure we were going to come in last. Surprise!  We came in second.

I stopped at Wegmans and Country Max on the way home.  Little Wonder needed some more treats.  I like them because they are small and have only three calories.  A bag this size lasts me for months.

Chicken and Garden veggies... he thinks they are special.

I made chicken salad for dinner....sandwiches.  The chicken was leftover from my Greek dinner (at the Diner) last night.

Now for the fun part.

Last week our friends Jana and Mike were visiting from Ohio.  She is an artist and we spent some time in the Studio messing around with watercolors.  I told her about my sampler lesson that was done with my class and she gave it a shot.

She finished them when she got home and posted them today.

So cool! This lesson is a keeper!

Night all.

PS

It's going to take awhile for my brain to settle down from all the tension caused over the past couple of years.

Beyond My Expectations!

And then it arrived.  I am grateful that so many Americans stood up for decency.  Let's hope there are no surprises coming up.  The opposition imploded when it was decided that their governing style was not well received by us or the rest of the planet.  My first message of the day came from England.  "Woke up to good news this morning. So long Donny." I've been amazed by the negative, outrageous, disgusting, desperate comments coming from the administration and the closest supporters.  Time for some integrity, compassion, truth and caring about the quality of life ALL of us deserve.  Time for humanity to return.  I am fine with the members of congress being voted out as they let down their constituents and did not show up.  They continually kissed Trump's butt, even if they disagreed.  They were complicit and here we are.

We had a beautiful sunrise.

Across the street they worked through part of the night picking up soy beans.

By 7:15 I was out in the Studio taking down the extra table I had added when I had a large class.  Now we can all fit at the big one and I will try to pick up a couple more students.  Also turned on the heater.

Christa brought in her watercolor sampler and it's gorgeous!

As per usual, Little Wonder kept us company.

Anita is getting ready to do a painting of her son's house.

Cat has discovered that she likes adding colored pencil to her water color sampler.

By the time we were finished it was really warm outside and LW was panting.

At 12:15 we headed out to Glen Darach Farm and he got in some time with Andrea.

Taa Daaaa.  It was a perfect day to visit Buddy.

He got a grooming...carrots, apples and cookies (which he shared with LW).

He's looking good.

This is his little pasture pal.

Left around 12:45 and headed home.

On my way I saw our friend Tina out in her yard with Loki so I stopped to say Hi.

The day I brought Little Wonder home, we stopped here first.  10 years ago.

 I was up half of the night and was so tired this morning....still am.  Did not make dinner.  We went down to the Diner .

Night all.

How soon will be able to get on with living our normal lives without having so much weight on us every single day?

 

It's Going to be a LONG night.

Still in the 70s today.

I spent part of the morning trying to organize all kinds of information regarding passwords and other important stuff.  Took forever.  Gary went to yoga and out to lunch with his pals.

Around 2 we headed into Rochester for an appointment I had with my dermatologist, who moved to a different practice many months ago.  So glad I found her!

Gary waited patiently until I was done.  Got a good report and we headed home.

By then the sun was starting to go down.

Little Wonder was happy to get back outside.

I had French toast for dinner and Gary was on his own.  Leftover Mac salad and who knows what.

The first polls have closed and I'm almost ready to get back out in the kitchen to see what's happening.

So far, the number of people who have voted amazes me.

I do believe there is a blue wave out there, but we might have a couple of surprises.  Congress was a big letdown and they did not even show up.  They should take quite a hit for not supporting their constituents.  As for the Senate....it's time for those elected to do the same, instead of being complicit regardless of how their voters felt.  I'm all for decency, humanity, caring about your neighbors, working together, integrity, values and more.  Anyone who thinks there has been no corruption must have been in on the deal.  As for the rest of the world....they know that the majority of Americans do not agree with the devastation that has been caused by this administration.  Let there be peace.  It's been a heavy load to carry every.single.day.

Night all.
