What Day is This?

I sat down here to do my blog for Friday.  I found my post for Thanksgiving was still a draft even though it showed posted.  I think there were lots of glitches over the last few weeks on many different sites and servers.  Very irritating, especially since we want everything done instantly.  So I took a breath and will carry on for Friday and post it a bit later so it won't be on top of the Thanksgiving post.  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.  We sure did.

I sketched a couple of times in the big book with a Micron 02 pen for Scavenger Hunt 657.


Number 1, frozen - some green chile from New Mexico
Number 2, tangled - some of the cords for our electronics in a little flower pot

I made the list from one work movie titles.  It was fun to check them out.

  • Twilight (2008)
  • Tangled (2010)

  • Jaws (1975)
  • Holes (2003)
  • Signs (2002)
  • Grease (1978)
  • Speed (1994)
  • Chocolat (2000)
  • Big (1988)
  • Rocky (1976)
  • Airplane (1980)

  • Tombstone (1993)
  • Papillon (1973)
  • Critters (1986)
  • Giant (1956)

  • Bonus:  Pi (1998)

I also forgot to post my last sketch from Hunt 656.


This was done with the Lamy ink pen.  Cup on a shelf - my glass thermal cup that Brandon gave me a few years ago.  Keeps the coffee warm and I don't have to drink from plastic or metal.  Thanks, Brandon!  I substituted a coaster for shelf.


I think this photo was on Wednesday evening.  Beautiful evening.  We have been able to have the house open in the daytime and night.  I rained about .6 of an inch today.  Yay!  We need more for the ponds/lakes.  It is supposed to be freezing on Monday and Tuesday nights.  I hope that is our whole short winter.  Could happen, right?

Your photo reminds of some of the sunsets I have seen on the Facebook group Memories and Photos in New Mexico. I know you don't FB anymore, but you would love this group and their photos from all over NM.

Bag Blog, thanks. I was in a group with New Mexico photos, it was great. It is my small way of fighting the big tech companies to avoid facebook, instagram and twitter. As long as Google leaves blogger alone where you don't have to see any ads on my page and it is still free, I will use it. Google really has a monopoly. They are first in number of hits and youtube is second which is theirs, too. Sigh.....
