Kita the Akita!

Nan Rae Brush Painting Class
February 23, 2013

My brush painting teacher and friend Nan Rae has a beautiful Akita named Kita!
I have been brush painting with Nan since June 2012…
I had only seen photos of Kita and her destruction.
But on February 23, I finally meet Kita.
She is too sweet!

Hello Kita!

New Mexico Road Trip | March 20-27

Micki and Tim departed LA and I followed them for the first leg of the journey.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

But a camera couldn’t even capture my whole heart.

March 20

On the road!
Bright and early on the road. We left at 7am… There was already traffic according to Pops.

On the road… this is somewhere in San Bernardino.

@mickarooh ... She's serious about this!
Micki… I guess she was serious about getting out of LA!
Snow!!!
Snow just outside of Flagstaff, Arizona

This one is for Janet!
I captured this micro seconds as we passed for my sister in law Janet because she loves bears.

We made it! Give me a reason to come back!

Claire is helping me work at the window seat. I did most of my work that I could at this window seat.

I took a walk and found this in the garage. Very appropriate.

Look at me! I'm making a basket! #catagram
I came back to Claire at the window seat… “Look at me! I’m making a basket!”

The Narnia House

The sun ornament is my favorite ornament in The Narnia House.
I call it The Narnia House because of the triple lamp post in the front.
No other house has a lamp post let alone a triple lamp post!
There are no photos of the triple lamp post in this post.

Here is my favorite sun ornament.

Horse shoes are very painful, so Mason doesn't wear any. His hoof is equivalent to one of our fingernails. The very sensitive area is at the center.
