Kim sends me pictures of the grands all the time and I am so very thankful. It brings me joy and brings back good memories for me at the same moment I see the expressive photos and the adventurous spirit of all the children in the pictures.
I love to see Jr. as his daddy couldn’t always come with us. It’s such a gift when a hard working dad or mom can go to events.
I made Frankie when I was in a class to make your own monster well I made Frankie which comes naturally to me these characters. I have so many I have painted over the years. He sits on my art desk.

Cooking some of my goodies I put up for the year. I think I was making chili. I even used freeze dried butternut squash in the chili.

Peanut Fest Suffolk Virginia. I used to take all my children to the Suffolk festival. In 1997 I painted the huge peanuts that greeted you at one of the entrances. I did that thru the Suffolk Master Gardeners Association. They were asked if anyone could repaint the signs and I raised my hand. I took them home and painted them outside and then dropped them off. I have an old skool pics of them. See how many memories it brings me when the my adult children send me pictures. Thank you for sending me pictures.
Skylar was Magic Mike for Halloween
I went to a book store in Appleton with Colby one day (of course I wanted to go) he went to Buckle and some other places he likes to go to. Boot Barn. This was the Half Price Book Store. It was the same day we went to Alexis’s party. Colby is a shopper we aren’t. I do love a book. This author was there that day and I loved her story so I bought a signed copy. She is so sweet.

Riggs and Ledger got battery powered scooters for Christmas
Sketch book challenge Day 6 prompt is something colorful. I was watching the video and I was watching Bruce make breakfast. He makes the best eggs. I thought of them being colorful. I enjoyed the process watercolors are my favorites. This year I am planning on doing oil paintings. I only have a tiny amount of oil paints but you gotta start somewhere.
Yesterday was a a wonderful day all the very busy it seemed When did a bunch more drawings and paintings. It was hazy all day because the snow is still here, but we had rain as well. Surely has been some bizarre weather. We have been watching the Crown on Netflix, which has been very good. I cried a lot last night from the show. Yes, I am very sensitive to that. I brought back memories of when Cody was in utero. He was born in 1997. Growing up, my aunt was always so fascinated with Queen. She had pictures of them like she had ordered from magazines or something, and she would bring them out every so often and show them to me. Tell me stories about them. I was in high school when Princess Diana and the Prince of Wales got married. I can remember like it was yesterday and after it was over I went outside to lay in the sun.
Bruce vacuumed yesterday and got the rest of the Christmas stuff out of the house.
Sending much love and positive vibes.
Take care,
Dawn Gallop
