WonderWoman picked up Ann, and then me, 

we three flew to Fashion Island.

We had an 11 am reservation at R&D Kitchen.

We had a salad, an omelet, and a cheeseburger, 

can you guess who got what?

We shared their famous deviled eggs and a dip appetizer.

On our way out we noticed this very patient dog waiting.

Can you see the dog? And my COVID hairstyle? And, Ann wouldn't permit a photo.

We went to Anthropologie and I was the only one who 

didn't buy anything?  I did take some pictures for you.

this may show up in a collage sometime?

Linda Bucci, these are for you?

These are for you Norma Prickett, the set of three - $48.

I sat outside for a while and took these looking straight up ...

Almost every Friday, good friend, artist, Ann and I 

go to a matinee movie. We usually eat a bite before or after.

Friday afternoon we saw The Gentlemen, but 

please be warned, there is nothing gentle about it.

The dialogue in this movie is absolutely hard to take.

 We surely got a lifetime dose but as Ann 

said after, "It's probably how crooks talk in London." 

And there is another hurdle, the violence & 

gore is dominant. However, if you can tolerate those, 

it is clever and even funny. Ann and I had walked out of 

Jo Jo Rabbit in the first 15 minutes, but we both 

liked this one. In fact, when it was over, 

we both just sat there rethinking all the twists and turns.

Well acted. I just now realized when googling, that Hugh 

Grant was a major figure that I hadn't recognized at all. 

There you have it, a comedy-mystery-thriller with warnings.

A bear of the world 

 
Every child knows the pain of forgetting a cherished toy and thinking it lost forever. When Grayson Mulligan left his bear on a Southwest flight over Thanksgiving holiday, his parents were desperate to find it. Sadly, the bear never turned up. A team of Southwest employees was so moved by the Mulligan's search they decided to offer up the next best thing: An adorable new bear, who seems to have quite a bit of experience in the air travel industry. That's perfect for Grayson because his mother says he's been interested in planes for years, and even wants to be a pilot someday. Southwest sent the bear to Grayson, along with photos of his new friends working on the tarmac, preparing the cabin of a flight and even inspecting the cockpit. Grayson named the bear Jack because, the boy said, "He looked like a Jack to me."

As mentioned in yesterday's, Day #2695, here, 

each member was to bring a small, handmade gift 

for each member at our Eastside Christmas Potluck.

1. Short on time, I visited the local dollar store and 

bought plaid, cloth ornaments to use as a base.

2. Painted each ornament with white gesso for a future face.

3. I used a permanent marker to draw the face.

4. Each one a little different?
I did all of the faces first.

5. Once the face was on, I started tissue collage, using gel medium.

 

I finished the backs with gesso and marker for the date.

Easy, fun but time-intensive, what do you think?

Just because ...
