This is the result (above) of a doctor's visit.
You know the little gowns they give you to put on
for a 'physical?' This one was like paper towel.
In my defense, when left unsupervised, I can
usually entertain myself with a pen and paper.
yes, I drew on the hem of the paper gown.
But this paper was more like paper towel, so I
had to be careful not to punch the pen right
through it. The time spent waiting on the exam
table went much faster, and i was able to ignore
the chill of the room while I waited. No unusual
problems (except the relative eccentricities of an artist)
just having to do a regular 'check-in'. The Physician's
Assistant asked if she could have it. Wonder if it
will end up on the Break Room bulletin board?
In other news, our son and daughter-in-law
purchased their first house, and we went to help
them paint rooms before they moved in. I don't
usually show photos of myself, but I was rather
proud of managing the above space. This
is me painting in the niche above the fireplace.
I believe a television goes there. It was just deep
enough that I couldn't reach it from a ladder...
Since I have a fairly steady hand, I "got to" paint
around most of the trim!
On the way home, this is our first traffic jam encounter.
There were several traffic jams that day, but at
least in this instance we got to see
the reason that traffic was backed up. It appears
that a refrigerated semi caught fire. You can see the
charred front end of the trailer, and the burned
musk melons being scooped up. The smell of
burned musk melons was quite unique and
pretty nasty. Won't soon forget it!
I've been to a couple of different Planner Events
over the summer. Picture a room full of people
(in this case 200) who all love journaling and working
in Planners. Most don't draw, but they do love
stickers and stamping and ink and washi tape.
My kind of people.
Since the theme of the event was flamingos, I
did a page of black and white doodles and had
copies made. Then I painted the copies and
cut them out. Fun to give to attendees that
I met. So much swag was given out, and I met
wonderful, fun people!
It's been a busy summer, with lots of ups and
downs. Mower repair, chauffeuring parents to
appointments, road trips with traffic jams.
And journaling...always.
Hope all my blogging friends are
keeping well and enjoying life.
Thanks for stopping by.
