...and we may never return!

Heading off with family to Martha's Vineyard this week...looking forward to starring mindlessly into ocean surf, beautiful sunsets, fabulous seafood, whales breaching into my camera's view and just breathing in the fresh salt air....as my friend always says.."nothing beats island living!"

I asked him what he wanted to make...

...and my little charge replied..."how about a zebra!!"...and so we did...love the symmetry of his 4 legs :)

Now they're in my hands....

I picked up these old wooden bingo chips on a recent antiques adventure....thought I could use this ephemera in one of my mixed media collages...now that they are in my hands, what am I gonna do with them....think...think....

The Art of Cheesecake...

There is an art to making these beautiful cheesecakes at the Cheesecake Factory...and there is an even great art in not succumbing to the Lemoncello one....one must sometimes suffer for their art.

I have fallen a little behind...

My summer reading is stacking up...and yet the magazines keep coming and I keep buying more books...maybe I can get down to business at the beach next week....who has time to read when you keep running about all these summer days?

Floating away....

With the temperature reaching 100 degrees today there was nothing to do but float like a leaf in the pool all day...and I do mean ALL DAY...(and maybe tomorrow if this nonsense keeps up)!

Everyone needs a piece of the rock..

...and as rocks go, this is a nice piece of real estate...sitting right there in the Farmington River.
