Day 364: What I did on my vacation ...

Do you remember writing that when ...

you went back to school after summer vacation?

Well, I was going to tell you about "Charlie",

or the disintegrating shoes ...

or Pizza King ...

and I will, but not today.

For now, just a few pictures ...

taken during my week ...

in Indiana ...

with family ...

lots of family ... about 46 cousins!

And there's much more to come!

Oh, and a little ad ...

I will be demonstrating COLLAGE ...

tomorrow, Friday July 26th

 at the Orange County Fair ...

1-3PM in the (A/C) Fine Arts Building!

If you're in the neighborhood, stop by?

Day 363: Beatty Day!

Donna, Katha, Martha & I ...

went on Beatty Day.

We are 4/5 cousins ... 

missing cousin Nancy in Florida.

Our mothers were sisters ...

their maiden name was Beatty,

thus the title, Beatty Day.

We picked and took flowers ...

visiting & paying respects at ...

three different grave sites.

We visited the charming town of 

Zionsville, and ate at Cobblestone.

I took pictures galore, but as you know ...

I have them loaded onto my iPad,

but due to the iPad's "mean streak", 
or, my lack of technical skill,

I can't get to them till I get home.
So, pictures to share in the future.
In the meantime, I was able to snag this ...

Day 362: What a great day ...

can't wait to tell you about Charlie!

And I have a picture too!

Add caption

This isn't it, but it will have to do until I get home.

Day 361: Still trying ...

Indiana is a beautiful state.

I have taken pictures of farms, barns & corn ... oh my!

But they will have to come later ...

When I get home.

In the meantime ...

Here's an image I was able to access for today.

Mixed media/ journal entry, paper & acrylic


See you tomorrow.

Day 360: another day, another blog attempt ...

2,000 + miles from my significant other ...

my Mac Pro !

And, the ability to do this blog!

When I try to select an image ...

the iPad only allows me a few choices?

None include the photos I have taken 

here in Indiana, but this one does 

remind me of buildings here.

Home in a few days.

Day 359: Still not techie, but trying!

Am sitting watching 27 family members in Lake Schaefer ...

Jet skis, super bouncer, in 2 boats, a lake float ...

30+ cousins, Ages 2 through 7?

Laughter, smiles and fun galore!

13 Pizza King pizza's ordered ...

2 huge birthday cakes ...

Brian's birthday ...

Life is good!

And I do have photos, but all I could find ...

Moo Shoe Pork?

Day 358: Patience is a virtue!

And I may have missed my allotment?

Since arriving here ...

I have taken so many pictures.

So many faces and places I wanted to share.

This is not one.

This is from Arizona!

I'm in Indiana!

Someday I will get my act together?

Day 357: having a great time, wish I could blog!

I am in Indiana !

Visiting family !

Having a great time!

But, I am having trouble getting my ...

pictures on to the iPad!

Thank you for your patience ...

I will try to do better tomorrow?

Day 356: Look what I found ...

 I found Ben ... a Bentley!

Driving on Jamboree Boulevard ...

coming from Corona Del Mar.

Close-up on the lights ...

A beautiful ($190,000.) car ....

and then it disappeared.

Day 355: Jared, Megan and ...

ShinSen Gumi ... Oh my!

I got an invitations from Jared & Megan!

For lunch at Shin Sen Gumi!

I am on a diet, but come on!

Will power only goes so far, so ...

of course I went, but with some restraint.

I skipped my favorite Takana rice and ...

the second best potato salad in the world.

I did eat half of my Hakata ramen ...

and brought half home.

Both former students, still training. and busy professionals

 taking a former teacher to lunch, aren't they sweet?

One of my favorite places to eat, and ...

 with two of my favorite people!

Lucky me.
