40th Anniversary of Meeting, And Still Wondering What We’ll Do Next 💕

Today Sheila and I celebrate 40 years since the day we first met, sneaking glances at each other (though I think I was the more blatant 😊 ) at the start of a two week 8-5 training for new jobs we had with the state ❤️

We’re celebrating by driving south of Austin to the doctor (cause it’s faster than going to the office 3x closer to home in Austin itself, lol!). A little vertigo check up is all.

So that’s a part, a good part really, of celebrating 40 years with a dr appt – we’ve each other to help take care of ourselves. I’ve been driving her around for over a week, like she drove me around for weeks following my 2 surgeries.

And she still makes us the most delicious healthy fun meals!

Yes, love has many many flavors 💕

This is an edited edition of our conversation on our drive here (dr’s office). Reminiscent of our drive delivering my art work to Jerry’s Artarama last year, lol! 😂

Her: We’ll never make it in time.

Me: Google says this is faster than the freeway.

Her: I hate the freeway.

Me: (thinking: that’s why we’re going this way) Me too.

Her: I wait five more minutes then call we’re running late.

Me: (thinking: our appt’s in 9 minutes, call now) Good idea.

Her: We should’ve left earlier.

Me: (thinking: she’s right) Yeah. It’ll be ok.

Her: I’ll call, oh, I don’t have their number!

Me: Look them up on Safari on your phone, then click their # to call.

Her: I never done that on the phone.

Me: Same.

Her: (looking at iPhone icons) I don’t know which one’s Safari!

Me: (coming to a another stop) Lemme see (hands me phone). Wow, you’ve got like twenty tabs open.

Her: I just need to call them.

Me: Right. (close several tabs, see one blank for Google, hand her phone) Tap on the address part and put in the dr and city.

Her: It won’t let me type.

Me: Try typing.

Her: Why’s it working? I didn’t have a blank screen!

Me: (truthfully) I never know how something’s gonna work on these things, I just try it and see.

Her: It’s calling, shhh!

Thanks everyone! Be blessed! I’m beginning to think it’s a choice to be open to this – being blessed. Otherwise, a miracle’ll do 😊

    Resting Up From Too Much Exertion, lol 😊 We had a rare patch of extremely nice weather for nearly a week here in Central Texas recently (now heading to near then above 100-107 next 10 days!) and I literally immersed myself in long fresh air walks and extra live online yoga and balance classes and two days ago could hardly move! 😂
  • Easy Morning – New Watercolor #FigureArt on Absorbent Ground, May 2020
    Easy Morning, new watercolor on absorbent ground 6×6 gallery wrap canvas #figureart My newest figure work had the usual tug and pull process painting it 😊 I really like the soft gentle feel of it, and especially like the look my wife got seeing it ❤️
  • At Rest With Nature – New Watercolor on Absorbent Ground, May 2020
    At Peace With Nature has several firsts for me. One, it’s a 5×7 stretched canvas, another size like my recent 6×12, A Walk Among the Wildflowers, I haven’t done in quite awhile, certainly even further back by maybe even decades, lol! It’s an interesting size, being small, yet enabling and enhancing the sense of length or height, like the 6×12, but more subtly.

    Personal Transitions During Stay-at-Home Distancing No BIG in the typical sense of what I tend to think “big” life change/transitions are, but with no blog post for 5 or 6 days, I gave up figuring out the exact # of days, lol, I felt compelled to say a little something.

    Photo Lessons for Dummies by BE KITSCHIG is a superb humor laden look at the all too common pitfalls and inadvertent mistakes we all non-professionals make with our cameras 😂
  • A Walk Among the WildFlowers – New Watercolor on Absorbent Ground, May 2020
    As one can tell by my photo below, I took a few liberties, but to some extent, that happens whether I plan it or not, lol 😂 But I like the result too much to alter anything on it. Another version, another time, will elicit a different response, and I do think this is one motif I’ll want to do more of, vs variations for just practice 😊

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
