I've been a bit busy with other life happenings lately so the painting time has been scarce. We are having our back patio enclosed to make an all weather room and the workers have been here for a few days with that project. It will only be 11 feet square but will have two walls that are all windows plus a full view glass door. The windows are all operational and match the ones in the rest of our home. When the weather is nice, we will open them for some great fresh air. When it is too cold or hot, there will be an A/C vent so that we can use the room year round. We are both very excited about it and the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs, heat or cold.
Also, on July 20, we flew to Kansas City to pick up our new little female yorkie puppy, Emma. Two and a half pound of wriggling love and heart! We lost our little Zoe to cancer in March and that was just heartbreaking. In April we got Cooper at the age of 6 1/2 months. He's a peach! Gorgeous and pad trained to boot. Best little personality. He comes from a breeder in Kansas City who shows yorkies and has had over 70 champions in her career. Both Emma and Cooper have generations of champions in their pedigrees. So life is a bit more exciting here with a new little one. Emma is five months old and though she is pretty good with the pads, she still has accidents now and then so we have to be pretty watchful.
I also had the great pleasure of meeting a friend at DFW this morning as he flew from Arkansas to his new home in San Francisco. Robert and I met in an on-line art community, Wet Canvas. He's also a follower of this blog. We've been Wet Canvas friends for over a year but had never met in person. What a pleasure to be able to spend a bit of face time! We will be able to Skype when he gets settled there and I'm so excited about that! Big hugs, Robert! I'll be glad when you are up and running on the net again!
Hopefully painting will resume within the next couple days. Thanks for reading!
