KG-I just emailed Denise. I will let you know what I hear.

[kelownagirl]

Did you use her cycling4life email address? I emailed her yesterday too but haven't heard back yet.

[kelownagirl]

Got an email from her today. She's been busy and hasn't been biking but she didn't mention any serious concerns. I'm glad.

SNOW!!!

This is the snow at my mom's house yesterday, with another big storm coming in. When we left this morning, there were about 6 inches of snow. We left early while it was still kind of dark, when the snow was stopped. After we made our escape, she got another 6 inches, and is expected to get MORE through-out the day and evening. She's about 3 miles from Abbotsford BC.



At my house it is dumping huge wet sloppy flakes. They are sticking, but not well. We have maybe 2 or 3 inches, but it's so warm they are pretty much melting into the ground.

Sknot is hoping for a snow-day tomorrow. We're gonna put up the (fake) tree this evening. After we clean the house...

(oh, yeah, our holiday tradition? Vacuuming! Shoving stuff aside so we can find a place to put the tree! Bending the wire branches so they look semi real! And squirting Crabtree and Evelyn Christmas oil around so it smells like Christmas/Saturnalia.)

Gotta get rolling on my cards. I think I'll do a watercolor, a bike with a tree on the back rack, which idea I freely admit I stole from the cards Terry Bicycles sells. I'll either do watercolor or Pigma pens. Last year was Pigma pen strings of xmas lights. Kinda boring by the time you've drawn the 30th card...

I am going to cry. We decorated the outside of the house in shorts and t-shirts.

I do hope Sknot gets his snow day. Make snow angels for me.

TREK!!!!! "color Xerox"!!!!!!!

Gasp!

No, dear, my "art" is too sacred to Xerox. Actually, it's too crappy to xerox. I figure everyone who gets one of my misbegot creations is so thrilled to recieve an original that they forgive the poor quality. Either that or they think, "gawd, poor woman sucks as an artist, but look she tried so hard, bless her little cotton socks..."

Color xerox will make the recipients gasp in amazement.

Trek shakes her cane and rattles her walker "why back in the day when I was in design school we didn't have computers. Kids these days!

We produced our projects by hand. By hand I say! And walked 24 miles uphill both ways to do it!

The only thing we could do was work big then reduce it on the xerox so it looked real tight."

Do one big drawing, have fun, lots of details etc
shrink it small make 4 copies
put the copies 4 up on one sheet of paper
xerox again
slice to 4 sheets
put on hand made paper ....voila!

I want one, consultant fee you know

Cotton socks? Don't they know you're a woolweenie? They should be blessing your Smartwool socks.

Did you ever notice how old ladies all have the same haircut? Is it like one day you walk in the salon, and the hairdresser says, "Oh, I see that you're 70 years old now. You're getting short hair and a perm today"?

Yes, i have noticed that. I have also discovered that little by little MY hair is too crummy to grow out. I used to have hair down my back.. now.. well,
it's just a little longer than the old lady look. (my 55 birthday is in a couple days... i'll be bald by the time i'm 80)

[Bikingmomof3]

Where O where is everyone. I am in the midst of decorating and desperately need someone to chat with. I need a break.

I'm here, but debating going off and making some cookies.
