May 13, 2021 – Our #1 Learned Lesson This Move : Number the Boxes and Make a Digital List!

April 29, 2021 – Moving in Our 70’s in a Time of Covid, 1st Look at the Roads and Woods Nearby
Sheila and I took a short 1/2 hour walk yesterday morning exploring some of the streets nearby. Maybe since we’re so near the green belt, most the streets and area around us is rumply and hilly-ish, not nearly as flat as where we lived before.

April 21, 2021 – Moving in Our 70’s in a Time of Covid – Catching the New Light at the New Apartment
Most of what we took yesterday (Tue, the 20th) were boxed paintings, but one, the acrylic Lady in Paris 1889 which I’d been working on, chosen ’cause the paint would dry quickly minimizing smears & all that, lol, and that one, not too big, at 20×20, was super light, so I just hand carried it.

April 07, 2021 – Volleyball Setter Poster 2 : Poetry, Line Art and Digital Wash
It had to happen, lol! I had to finally apply my new line art with wash coloring style to one of my writings and I figured, well, my volleyball poem series has about seven titles, so they’d be a good one to create alternative choice imaging for! 😊

March 28, 2021 – Second Day After Our 2nd Covid Shots – Grandchildren, the Best Medicine
Fatigue plus shortness of breath, more than the aches and pains after our 1st Covid shot, seem to be the main symptoms this time around..Meanwhile, Sheila and I benefited from the best medicine known, family and kindness and love ♥️

March 27, 2021 – First Day After Our 2nd Covid Shots – Very Weary, But With a Huge Thank-You to Austin Public Health (APH)!

March 07, 2021 – Woke to This! Masks Now To Be Required to Grocery Shop at HEB, Randalls – Opinion, It’s the Right Thing To Do
Sheila came rushing in to the kitchen to ask me to guess who reversed their no-masks-required decision, and I jokingly “guessed” at several of our state’s leadership, but I was wrong anyway, lol! No, it’s more important than that actually – it’s where we shop to buy our food!

March 04, 2021 – Masks in Grocery Stores in Austin – Back to Mask/Mass Confusion
All I feel I can really do is wish and pray for the safety of everyone in those stores without mandates, whether pro or con re the masks. If we’re in this together, we really need to act like we’re are in this together ♥️

March 03, 2021 – Why We’re Only Shopping at Sprouts For Groceries (and a few others) Here in Austin For Now, Hint: Covid-19
“… for us to choose to voluntarily restrict ourselves to Sprouts, and a few other stores I’ll highlight hopefully tomorrow, is a big deal. Fixed incomes of the qualifying-for-most-any-level of stimulus cut-off-money work that way 😊 ”

February 08, 2021 – Surprise Weekend Visit from the Youngest Grandchild, Pics and Video!
It’s difficult indeed to describe how wonderful a silver lining it is that our remote schooled youngest grandchild (via Zoom etc) is realistically safest visiting and staying with us a couple days than so many other options!

February 05, 2021 – New Excerpt Series Starting Soon, The Old American Artist, with Commentary
Looking back at older work, like my 80s acrylics or 2000s water soluble oils, can be lots of things : sobering 😂 and, when I spot patterns of motifs or preferences in my work, very helpful for me, enabling me to see enduring patterns of interests. The same, it turns out, even with its own…
