Beach, shopping, and a pear

As always when company comes, time flies by. I see it's been quite a few days since I've posted - oops. Had a terrific time with our friends, and it turned out to be very beach focused.  Lots of people out there enjoying the water and great weather. Vicki's been to other parts of Florida but not here, so it was fun showing her around. Mark and Bob were out playing golf every day with the Maryland guys group (it's an annual event).

As for shopping, we did a little bit of that, and enjoyed the outdoor cafes. Anyone for a Swarovski crystal bra?


There were strange happenings in our area a few days ago, which are not all resolved even now. A gas main line was ruptured by a construction worker way north of us, but the gas line is used by thousands of residental and commercial businesses all the way down through Naples almost to Marco Island. No gas means no hot water, and no cooking if you're not electric. All the restaurants were affected, some closed, others stayed open with very limited menus. The hotels are full now and all the guests have had to take cold showers for days and laundry sent out of town. The gas company has to visit each & every house and business to inspect and turn back on. We weren't affected personally other than cancelling dinner reservations and our guests were super flexible. Amazing, we're usually the ones right in the middle of the disaster...

Okay, here's one of my pears - number 13. Point was glowing color for this exercise. Did I get it?

  1. You got it baby! And, since I am taking credit for getting you to post your art on your blog, I am thinking this one needs to be wrapped in Christmas paper and sent to 648 West San Francisco Santa Fe 87501. Seriously, you know I have a "pear thing", right? This one belongs in our Casita. I sound like I am begging now, huh? Okay. Night.
