The Gypsy on Adventure

Ah...I needed this

Raven's walk at Shoreline

Ah, most week nights I don't plan any thing. But today was an exception! Loretta met up with me at my house, I showed her the covers because I woke up last night with issues of HOW to put it all together in the space I have and she suggested I just shrink the pages I copy and it should all work well. I need to put in extra pages for notes and new members as well.  After a nice visit we went over to Shoreline Park for their Raven's walk and Rengstorff Mansion Spook Tour! It was a crisp beautiful autumn night! I was glad I changed into jeans, my sweater and sweat shirt! I wore my Lucy hat for protection from the wind! It was a fabulous time on the walk!

Every so often the docents would stop and read from the poem The Raven! Then they discussed the differences of Raven's and Crow's! VERY interesting! Fun! It was a beautiful sunset walk less than a mile and a beautiful FULL moon over the house! It was a fun tour of the house and Loretta and I had a great time!

We even got to see a crow find his dinner and start eating it! Several came out to show off during our walk. We learn the back tails of a crow curve like a C and the Raven's back tail is like a V. The ravens have a bump on their nose and a beard, where the crows have smooth beaks and no bearding! I learned a lot on our walk!

I still wish I could be the secretary out at the house! I love this house!!!

Lazy Ordinary Day

We went to Frys and I didn't buy a thing! But then we did real life stuff, CVS pharmacy that I hate, I miss my Longs! And I picked up a few DVDs at Rasputin, I tried to get the 3rd season of Hero's but they only had new ones for $50...not today. A little clean up around the family room and kitchen, but didn't get my clothes done darn it. And since it was the first weekend of the month I decided to dye my hair again, get it over so no roots show! Ha! Every time I do the same color and get different results! Its funny! I kinda wish it was darker in the brown and less red but I still love this color on me.

Then off for Chef Chu's take out! The rest of the day was spent doing the book covers! I was able to paint 10 more covers and and now have 10 of them mostly collaged and waiting for their photos. I am enjoying the way they are turning out! I think they are going to be really nice!

Spooky scope

Cancer, you make your own rules as you go through life, and that's fine. You're governed by the illuminating Moon, and you know what is best for your life. On Monday the Moon in feisty Aries squares militant Mars in Cancer in your sector of self, and you'll be called on to defend a choice you've made. Remember, you don't need to explain yourself or your decisions to anyone. You'll find it hard to concentrate this weekend. Your mental energy will be extremely scattered, and you'll forget your ideas later unless you write them down!

Healing Art Time

Today I just needed to start healing my soul...so I started the Covers for our UGRA Members Books...its a large project, and I have been collecting images to use and now I have painted 5 pages with watercolor and glitter and started to place the images for each person...its going to be a fun project and I hope to have it finished this year!  Then I can really start playing on the Rail again!

Here is a little peak on the process...I am still missing members photos...so I am winging it right now.

  

These pants have to go!

They are so big on me now they don't look good!  5,004 steps today! I love purple and orange together! Oh so glad it is Friday! Looking for some renewal time even if I just sleep! Off to watch Ghost Whisperer and do some collage with CrowAbout layouts!

The body is responding...

portion control, water pill, walking...loose clothes! I am inspired by the way my clothes are fitting me now! This is so big I can't wear the skirt anymore! Yeah!  And my hair is growing out and it still looks good!  Yippee Today 4,017 steps. At least I am getting some results for my efforts! 

I also got a great surprise in the mail today! An altered post card from Loretta! I love it!!! AND my Trumpet plant is really blooming!!! It is so beautiful and smells so good, I am glad that I didn't give up on it, it took two years but I have blooms!!! And the smell until the rotten egg smell from the Bay comes up.
