Hello to you from TX,

There would only be a picnic spot like this here!!  All the picnic tables were like this, off the main I-20 route and I do think it is quite regional and in character for this area of the country, but not what we are used to.

Joanne's triangle loom

Here's Joanne demonstrating her new creative endeavour for Bee and Alex. The triangle loom uses a continuous strand of yarn in a fairly simple weaving process yet it seems to have endless possibilities.  This Joanne's first piece and it is beautiful!

Whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.--Julia Cameron

Golden Gate

I am making progress!!  This photo of the Golden Gate was taken at the Discovery Museum when we took Tom and Molly.  The person walking is Norm.  Anyway, this is great to do and soon I will start sending sewing and food things!!

Inspired by Alex's new endeavors!
