Green It Is

We went to Physical Therapy on Monday.  I forgot my sketchbook and sketched on my iPhone.  Gene wanted to leave early so I didn't really finish.  Then with lack of time and enthusiasm I never posted it.  Time to do so now!

For Scavenger Hunt 178  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-178-dec-16-dec-28.8557

Number 3, green - a little mini aloe plant on the counter.  It is about 6 inches top to bottom.  The sketch looks much better small on my phone.  :-)

We have been busy.  Larry came out Tuesday night and we cooked the meat for the tamales and chile balls.  On Wednesday we made the tamales and enchilada casserole and then Joanna, Jennie and Brandon came and helped finish up.  I had made peanut butter cookies and Gene got some homemade coconut chocolate candy.  Brandon brought candy, Joanna made Tollhouse cookies.  We have been trying to eat it all up.  Tortillas, posse, rice and beans and fruit salad and probably more.  We played cards and a new game called Close the Box.  Lots of good times. 

Gene can't do much to help but keeps us all going and cheers us on.  He did play the game with us and won a couple of rounds.  For someone that doesn't like games, he did well.

Tomorrow will be more games and maybe Margaritas.

Merry Christmas!
