I cannot believe how long it's been since I've written.  It's been a busy year.  Cooper's brother came to live with me so now I have two Cardigan's.  They are great companions, but still puppylike in much of their behavior. I've also moved again.  I have no excuse for that either.  Restless, I guess.  I went to a memorial for a high school classmate today.  I ran into someone (Hi Stan!) who said he had been reading my blog and asked if I was still painting.  I had no idea that people were actually reading this.  So, if you are, and I haven't heard from you in a while, post a comment.  

My studio is only half set up (as is the rest of the house).  I know the holidays are right around the corner.  I know I need to paint.  Otherwise the days are way too long. AS for writing here, well we shall see.  No excuses!
