Pamela Schifano – @pammypoo on Substack

I’ve had my usual wonderful Friday – gym, breakfast with Brian, and massage this morning. The cafe in the afternoon. Good weather.
The only thing that wasn’t stellar was that Ugly American showed up 20 minutes into my walk on the treadmill at the gym this morning. He came in with his phone blasting music. He finally turned it off, only to start talking to someone in a loud voice as he walked up and down the length of the gym. Such a lovely man…

Here are my latest painted sketches –

At the cafe today, my favorite server brought my iced latte, wrapped in a brown napkin, as usual, but with this addition –
I don’t speak Thai and he doesn’t speak English, and yet he goes out of his way to do something nice like this. Isn’t he amazing?

Happily, last night Brian fixed my problem of not being able to watch YouTube on my TV. It turns out that the automatic update we thought we had set up didn’t work for some reason. We updated the software and everything was peachy again. I got to watch my music videos and was happy as a clam. Yea, Brian!!!!

Yesterday Shanfan Huang, whose art I have featured several times on the blog, contacted me, asking me if I would change the posts to list the entire address for her Substack account. I went back and made the changes on the posts involved, but I wanted to make sure that you have the information from me here in case you would like to go to Substack to see more. Her full Subtack address is substack.com/@shanfanhuang

That sounds like you had a wonderful Friday! I love your sketches! They are always good, especially butterflies and your art alcove. Enjoy the rest of what is left of your Friday. (Donna)
Thanks for your nice message, Donna. I’m glad you liked the sketches. I just came back to my place from sharing a salmon salad that had regular salad stuff, salmon, and mango. Delicious! I’m going to finish blog posts now and then watch YouTube. 😁
Beautiful! I am now subscribed to her and THAT was soooo incredibly NICE of you, to fix previous posts to include her Substack address!
I’m so glad the Thai gentleman at the cafe treats you so kindly, Linda! And what a glorious day you’ve had! (Minus the UA who’s still annoying you).
Observe don’t absorb, I always say/practice. ❤️🙏💙🙌🥳🤗🎼🎶🎵🫣
I got a message from her this morning, thanking me for the fix. I thanked her for helping me get it right. Her work is beautiful. I’m pleased she gave me the information I needed to help my people find her easily. We’re having a rainy morning. Maybe UA will stay home with his phone.
