My Studio

This is a post for for Lexi. She says I need to post more often. Here
is my new desk in my art studio. The studio is also Harriet's bedroom
and she has a secret nook behind the boxes on shelves.

Illustration Friday: Old-Fashioned

I love the romance of old-fashioned aeronautics - when Amelia Earhart
flew the skies and there was still something magical about flying.

Send me to Philly too!

Just kidding, Lexi. I'm not sending you our Harriet. I crochetted
these elephants for Kevin's uncle's newly adopted twins. They're on
their way to New York City with a stopover with Lexi in Philidelphia.

A morning in Yellowstone with my parents via the Old Faithful VEC Webcam!

This morning from 1,344 miles away, I shared a cup of coffee with my parents in front of Old Faithful geyser. We chatted about the weather, the drive up from Park City, funny outfits worn by German tourists. It was like many a Labor Day weekend spent with my family in Yellowstone, except that I was on my couch in Dallas. You can reach this view of my own personal Heaven by clicking here. Two other views of Old Faithful and cameras at Mammoth and atop the summit of Mt. Washburn are available on the web cam page on the NPS Yellowstone site. The banner at the top of the web cam image even tells you when you can expect Old Faithful's next eruption!

Homesick

Watching Old Faithful erupt from 1,338 miles away, I'm feeling more than a little homesick. Did the National Park Service put this camera up as some kind of cruel joke?

Wyoming Sunrise

I watched the sunrise in Yellowstone this morning from a grim little corner of West Dallas. My parents are up there for the weekend and I really wanted to go, but couldn't find any good deals on airfare. I check the Old Faithful Webcam pretty often and it's been kind of overcast all week, but today it had to be beautiful just to taunt me.
