Artist/friend Marilyn from Arizona asked if I use
a ruler for straight edges?
Yes, I use a little 6" ruler for straight edges & a cheap plastic
kid's protractor, french curve, curly cue thing for some curves. I
rarely use scissors, unless I have no choice in tight spaces.
Thanks for asking Marilyn.♥

One of the benefits of teaching for a hundred years ...
is former students sometimes ask me to go to lunch & visit!
Today was one of those days. Carolyn is a former student ...

Later in 2012, all grown up, a college graduate,
world traveler with a State Department job -
Carolyn wanted me to meet her fiance, Nate.
That happened (here) & I approved, big time!
I hadn't seen them in almost three years, when I attended
their beautiful destination wedding is Paso Robles, see here.
Carolyn now has graduate school completed, busy world travels,
marriage, a new home, and a very high-powered job.
Nate runs their growing business District Spices, here.
Nate invented & handcrafted 20 spice blends that are vegan,
non-GMO and contain no salt, anti-caking agents, gluten,
soy, fillers, or preservatives, to bring bold and unique flavors
to your dining table.
Carolyn & her husband Nate were in from Washington DC
for the holidays. Nate caught a cold, but Carolyn invited me
to lunch at Zov's, my favorite!
Okay, I know I forgot to take pictures of my Angel Hair Pasta,
and Carolyn's Angel Hair Pasta with shrimp, I was busy.
But trust me, it was terrific
How about the honey for my tea? Will that do?
I enjoyed every minute of catching up with Carolyn.
What a treat to see this accomplished young lady,
successful & tackling the world. I predict a great future.
And ... I have a great track record on these things!
From Day #1985: Hello 2018! You were asked to pick
your favorite old-time New Years artwork.
The winning vote was # 11,
which won over #7 by one vote.
Thank so much for playing!
And another "Happy New Year!"
A smile for Wednesday ...
