Sunday morning words

It is a chilly Sunday morning in the bottom of the San Joaquin Valley of central CA.  I have had a busy week and am enjoying a quiet slow morning.  I had my dose of crowds yesterday morning at the "Science Bowl" tournament at CSUB with my 18 yr grand son. I should be fine for several more months, but I still need a fix of "woman talk."  That seems to be the one thing that I do not get enough.  Almost every night I dream of being with my mother, and my sisters, my daughters, and my grand daughters.  I crave female companionship. I live in a male dominated household, with my husband (74) of 51 years, my son (43), and my youngest grandson (17).  So every once in a while I have to run away and seek out female company. 

Pay It Forward.

I have become fascinated with this "Idea" so I want to play.

Pay It Forward

This "Pay It Forward" seems to be making its way around blogdom. I first saw it on Nathalie's blog, An Artist's Legacy, and decided I would love to play along! In order to be a recipient of one of her wonderful creations, I must pay it forward to someone else - actually, to 5 someone elses!!

So, here are the rules, I hope there are 5 of you out here in blogdom who would like to "play" along!!!



Simple Rules:

I will create something handmade to the 1st five people who leave a comment on this post saying they would like to participate
. To be play along, you must be willing to repost this and do the same- offering something handmade to five other people.
All handmade "gifts" will be sent sometime in 2011- gives you alot of time!!!
I will try to get mine out in the next month or so - if I allow myself the whole year, I WILL forget!!!LOL

My "Still Life"

My thirteen year old grand daughter, EVC, said it really is not a "still life", but because I tried so hard, she will let it pass. This is the third "still life" I completed; numerous false starts were abandoned before they really got started.
A "Still Life" according to the instructor who gave the lesson in school for her class, is a drawing of people who are still--motionless. These people do not show any movement or motion.  In my "still life" one person is holding his arm out.

This is not a "Still Life" or so I am told by my youngest grand daughter.
