We visited Harvey this morning. He recognized us, but didn’t make any sense, other than liking the picture (though I’m not at all sure he understood what it was about) and said I could put it up on his Happy Wall.

I spent part of the afternoon at the cafe sketching. I have a couple almost finished that I’ll post tomorrow.
I got the idea to sketch and paint the signs of the Thai Zodiac with the animals standing for each of the 12 years in the cycle. I got the idea when the owner of the cafe was so pleased that I drew her a goat, which is her birth sign. I found a list of the 12 animals and will see what I can do.
I also found a couple of photos of a man selling a gazillion brooms from his cart or bicycle that I’ll try to draw.

Tomorrow I’m going to redouble my efforts on practicing on my guitar. I’ve let it slide when I wasn’t feeling well, and I really want to get to the point that I can start strumming along to some of the songs I would love to be able to sing. I may not live long enough, but everyone needs a goal…. 😜 🎸

I hope that you will enjoy a wonderful weekend, full of joy.
Sending anniversary hugs
Thanks very much, Christine. Received and MUCH appreciated.
The visit with your Harvey was as good as he could give that day, I am sure. The picture you painted for your anniversary was so sweet. Happy Anniversary to you and your Harvey.
Funny you should mention the guitar, as I thought about that before I came to the computer this morning and realized that you had not mentioned it in a while. It is a good goal to work towards. You will get there. You are determined, and that is good. I hope you enjoyed your entire day. (Donna)
Thank you, Donna. I had a good day. Tomorrow will give me time to catch up on things like water bottle exercises, guitar practice, some base painting of sketches, working on my cats on the beach puzzle, and more. Today was pretty busy, fitting in a stop at the hearing aid place to find out why my right aid wasn’t working. It turned out the very tip was clogged and the tip needed to be replaced. We’re going to order a handful of tips so I can change them out every 4 months in the future. I’m relieved that I didn’t do anything wrong…. My fingertips will yell at you tomorrow. When you hear them, just try to ignore the disturbance.
I will ignore the yelling and just say to myself that it is Linda practicing the guitar. You will get there, and your fingertips will eventually toughen up. (Donna)
🤣
You’ll live long enough, Linda. I deem it so! Ha! Love the sketch you did for your anniversary with Harvey! Wish he had been more aware, but as we know… it’s all a toss up at this point!
I gave my keynote speech today at the conference I blogged about for the last month. All 10 people watching said I did great! I was happy with how it all went and I connected with some way wackier people than me! LoL (my hubby stayed upstairs. He was not amused with the few he overheard! Ha!)
Well, if you deem it…
Congrats on the speech going well. It’s good Richard was upstairs.,He would have been a distraction. Wow, do you realize that I know a keynote speaker? (I will allow you to touch my shelve – briefly – once…)
haha! Yep! You got it, Linda! You know it! ❤️🥳🤗🤣
Thanks, Sweet Sheila.
