Friends....

have I told you that the friends i am going to Phoenix with

I have been friends with for at 36 years.  Some friends come and go in your life, and some friends just stick. We are the kind of friends that even if we didn't see each other for a long time, it would be like we just saw each other yesterday.  We go away every year together, and we have a blast.  We all are very laid back and  just go along with the flow.  We talk non stop about everything under the sun, I am sure the TV  never goes on.  We all like the same things, we all love to read, we love to shop, go to different restaurants  have a few good drinks and we all love relax.  I cherish these friends. Everyone needs to have a friend or friends like this in their life, I hope you do.

Decisions, Decisions

today is all about

deciding what to pack

gathering all my needed documents

getting american money

travel insurance

deciding what to pack for art supplies

deciding what I will do for art when I am there

deciding on shoe wear, most important

deciding on to carry on or not

so many decisions so little time (lol)

Oh November

There is going to old old art on here, for the next 12 days as I will be away in Phoenix  so some of you will never have seen it, and some of you might remember it , but come back and see how I have progressed as the years passed by.
