More Time to Blog

When I am off work I get to sleep in. I wish I could do that all the time. I am in desperate need of sleep. But I can barely get more that 7 hours.

I went Christmas shopping today. I was at Target and there was hardly anyone there. I found some things for Sarah.

The artwork is my Holloween horse. Now I have got to have a Christmas horse. There is a saddle shop here in Napa. I saw their Christmas ornaments, Christmas horses. I don't have much money to spend.

Christmas Vacation Has Just Begun

Its Christmas time again. I have been feeling like rain, and have been wishing it would rain. And I got my wish. It is raining outside now. I would have gone on a walk tonight, if I wasn't so sick. I caught a cold, and I can't hear very well out of my left ear. Here is some recent artwork.

I've been sitting on the couch. I was making an felt ornament for our Christmas tree while watching the movie "The Misfits." It is a movie only make me love horses more.

Thanksgiving

I've been taking pictures with my camera of Lost in Space. I guess this is what is called a screen grab.

I have drawn Johnathan Harris dozens of times. He is my favorite Lost in Space character, then Penny and the robot.

I always like to get a picture like this one.

And this is my mom up in Angwin.

I for one am truely thankful. Just to be alive is good. Having my mother still around is good too. She turned 89 in June. I also am glad to have my daughter, Sarah, and my three cats and one dog. Also, I am grateful to have a job. Having been diagnosed with kidney cancer this last year then having the kidney removed was not fun. I had to take a bunch of time off from work. Even when I went back it was hard to lift children and do my normal duties. Now it is almost eight months later. Since then I am trying to do more of the things that I enjoy, those things being art and sewing. I started this blog on a whim, after viewing Angela Cartwright's wonderful blog. I have long wanted to make my own website but have been way too busy to do it. This blog is kind of a substitute for that.

Drawing Lost in Space

I enjoy drawing immensely. Here are a few of my drawings inspired by Lost in Space. Not too bad considering that creating art has been something I haven't always been working at. My life is just too busy. I was never really good at faces. But I keep trying anyway. Dad does't look a thing like Guy Williams. Maybe on my next try he will look better. I love drawing that robot!! He really is my favorite character. Then Penny and Smith are my next favorite.

A Horse of a Different Color

I was just trying out the photoshop program I have. I now have a red horse. I thought I would just change the color of my yellow horse. I would like it to be brown.

It was quite a day at school. Many of the kids were dressed in their Halloween costumes.

June Lockhart and Angela Cartwright

Lost in space keeps me going. When I got out of the hopital recently after major surgery, the one thing I had to do, after taking a shower and getting together a dinner was to watch Lost in Space.

I did this horse picture last night while watching an episode of Magnum PI. I wasn't actually done with it, but here it is anyway. Work is stressful, any kind of artwork makes me feel better. My job, working with kids is rather stressful. Especially when you have a child who is totally out of control throwing stuff all over the classroom, and he won't listen to any of the adults.

Wow! Summer Vacation is Almost Over!

Dr. Smith in Ghost in Space.

My Mom in Yosemite.

I got five weeks off from school. Now, this Monday school starts again. I am not ready for it. Oh well, that is the way of life!

We went camping last week. That was fun. Our van broke down. But we got some assistance from a very nice Park Ranger. He helped us to get our gear together so we would be safely near where our van would be worked on. Next year, we are taking 2 vehicals. It was no fun being stuck up on a remote road with a broken down van. It took two days to get it fixed.

Still watching my favorite T.V. programs on DVD....... Lost in Space, Star Trek tos, Star Trek tng, Columbo, Wild Wild West, and Murder She Wrote. But I love that Lost in Space, and Star Trek tos the best.
