What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

You know what also stays in Vegas? Your money,that's what but I don't plan to go crazy. I've gotten that gambling bug out of my system lately. Most likely because I do not have much of an income. Retiring early means two things, you're young enough to have fun and since you actually aren't old enough for Social Security you better have that fun on a budget. I'm not complaining because if I wanted more money I could, perish the thought, go back to work. I've been stashing a few bucks away every week so I can at least enjoy giving some money to the casino.

If anyone is looking for a desktop calendar for July they'll need to be patient. I've taken a leave of absence from this blog until July 1 and not sure if I'll even get one up then. Good news, I'm getting back with my watercolor teacher and should produce something in the next few months. It should be good to be back with my artsy friends, again.

So wish me luck, 31 black is my number and maybe I'll have a photo of Vegas for the July calendar.

Carpinteria is a small town on the California coast about 15 minutes south of Santa Barbara. It has be one of my favorite places to stay. And for sure, the most beautiful sunsets I've photographed.

This is a funny little frog that my sister found in a plant she brought home from the nursery. She quickly snapped a photo and I translated it into a pastel. It is one of my favorites and now hangs in my office. I hope you are enjoying spring as much as I am.

April Desktop Calendar

There's a twist to this month's calendar photo. It was taken by my darling and quite talented sister, Doodles. I'm still unable to draw so rather than skip a month I'm using a photo she took recently. I love it so much I'm also framing it for my living room in a space I've created. Thanks, sis.

Do check her blog for more photos and her posts about living full-time on the road.

March Desktop Calendar

Funny thing happened besides my slip-n-fall, I created March's calendar ahead of time. I must have secretly known I'd be out of commission like pregnant women who clean their house before they go into labor. Anyway, here it is and it's even early. Don't get used to it because next month it will, most likely, be late.
