9 Moons Ago

  

March is almost gone!!!
HOW did THAT happen?!!

Lots of busyness going on ’round here, so that’s why there’s been less updating.

And a bit of a scare with our dog, Gus.
On Friday night he got up, then fell and later he walked very wobbly with his head tilted. We thought he might have had a stroke, but we took him to the vet and found out that it is a condition called geriatric vestibular disease. Basically he’s got trouble with his balance ..it’s a common occurence in older dogs.
In the last couple of days he’s seemed so much more like his old self.. wagging his tail, barking at Goldie, holding the ball in his mouth, and eating well. He even surprised us by jumping up on the bed! Very thankful he’s going to be OK.

I owe EVERYONE emails. From AGES ago.
I want to do some paintings and go to the beach in the next couple of weeks.
So the email can wait a little longer.

Saw the most luminous double rainbow today while out running errands.
Used my blue-green umbrella.
Had pizzza for dinner.
I’m wearing cozy pink fleece pjs with scarf-wearing reindeer on them.
Wonderful day.
Hope yours has been too!

Much love to all! xxxooo Amy

In other news, there should be a “real” post from me sometime soon. Just have been super busy with various things.If you haven’t recieved any update emails from me in a long time, it’s not that I’ve removed anyone from the list. I just have had problems with the notification system and pretty much abandoned it. Will be fixing it up soon tho. Not enough energy for it tonight, but for my next entry, I’ll notify those on the list through my regular email program.

ps. Kathy, just saw in the tv guide that Wow Wow Wubbzy is on here in the afternoon, too. Yay!

  

Well, I’m finally getting over the jet lag. Sorry that I haven’t been very “vocal” online, but yes, I’m happy to be back. However, I managed to miss the snow that I was hoping for in Pennsylvania, by about a week! (Can’t wait to see those pics, Kathy!)

The weather has been pleasant. Still quite warm, sometimes hot, but in this house it’s nice and cool. Thick stone walls are a blessing in summer. We also have been making good use of of oscillating fans. Mmm.. very nice, especially with a cold ginger beer in hand.

The dogs are enjoying new toys from “Nanna”, and Gus and I have had one good walk so far… easing into the routine of things once more. Starting on job seeking, doing the grocery shopping with Cameron, and playing around on photoshop until I pick up the paintbrushes in my studio:

Cameron and I decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day the night before, just because we were in the mood to celebrate. We went out to an Italian restaurant, called “Sofia”, and had nice meals. I ordered the small ravioli and got a serving so big that I took more than half of it home and that was enough for lunch today, and a snack later on.Then came the tiramisu.

It was bigger than my head. (Well just about.)

And sooo goooood that I’m going to be dreaming about it for a week.

After dinner, we stopped at the store where Cam bought me the most lovely red tulips!! They are gorgeous:

So, it’s been a lovely Valentine’s Day. I hope you are having a lovely one too!
Much love to all my family and friends, near and far. Love you and miss you!
Heard that you called the other day, Mumsy…we were out running errands.
Kaffy, I’m wearing my “love” socks! Love ‘em!
:-D

  

Even though people are starting to think this is a dog blog -not that there’s anything wrong with that- I just had to share this link: Chuck

I promise my next painting/entry won’t have fangs.
