Home Sweet Home

I sketched out on the porch!  No this isn't an old post.  It was such a beautiful day today and one of the prompts/items on the Hunt was "outdoors".  We were on the porch for lunch so I decided to get the Canson Mixed Media large sketchbook and do the scene I have done so many times.  Then we came in and Gene rode his bike.  I skipped riding mine to get another item for the Hunt "person".


 
For Scavenger Hunt from Life 182 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-182-feb-2-feb-14.8680/

Number 1 outdoors - the scene off the porch minus water in the lakes.
Number 2 person - a bad sketch of Gene.  In self defense I will say he was moving at the time!  He is always a good sport about it!

We went on Tuesday and had our teeth cleaned.  The dentist found that Gene needs a crown where an old filling is loose.  Fine come back on Thursday.  We went today for a 12:00 noon appointment.  They prepare the tooth and make a crown all the same appointment.  It takes 2 hours or so.  We got in the office and the young gentleman, Kendrick, that always takes good care of us said .... "oops, maybe I said Thursday without the date, I meant next Thursday, February 12."  I think maybe I just got it wrong and he said that to make me feel better.  At any rate we came home and went out on the porch for lunch and stayed a while before going back in for Gene to get his exercise.  We had the door open for quite some time.  I really like that.  

UT Longhorn baseball starts tomorrow.  They will play UC Davis in Austin at the Disch.   Looks like the weather will be super for the weekend.  Unusual, Hook 'em Horns!  I'm sure that there will be some cold weekends before long, but we will take this good weather.  Joanna and I have been in the stands when it is 45º or so.  Long handles, hoodies, and blankets.   Brrrrr.
