My mom surprised me with this amazing little owl today. He’s happily perched on my headboard for sweet dreams.

Merry Christmas to all! ❤️

Celebrating my 50th Birthday today! I have so much to be grateful for. I have the most amazing family and friends. I’m blessed to have my 17 year old kiddo (he keeps me young) and my health. Thanks for the fantastic photos (I was destined to be a nudie model, lol).

And voting day done!

You’re not what you look like. You are what you love. I’m closing up the beach house and reminiscing on some of the great time spent with family and friends. Until spring, I will love the colder weather and myself.

Finished this little duo for an empty corner of the room at the beach house. Green beach rocks (aventurine, Canadian jade, Jasper, chalcedony, quartz). Acrylic mixed media. I source all of my rocks from the shores of Lake Erie.

Eye see you! Ziggy basking in the sun.

Fun with Andrea and Bob today! I feel like a teenager again! The Pandemic kept us all so isolated. Love my lifelong friendships.

Taking a few days off for some fresh air and sunshine at the lakeside. It’s all about the little things in life.
