This pup= a gift from above!  It's been just a couple of weeks and this baby has stolen ALL our hearts already. Having an infant human is of course the best gift in the universe (imo) - those days are done for me- (hee hee - thankfully) but I still love babies & this puppy is a little miracle in herself!
I have been able to watch her learn how to do everything for the "first time'  it's comical and heart warming...  up and down stairs, eat kibble & bananas, taste REAL meat- which he LOVES - no kidding. Ginger is behaving like she was meant to be here!   I will say the first few days I was slightly concerned- explaining to the guys every time she hears "other dogs bark" she'd run and hide behind pillows or knapsacks or anything- so we focused to make her feel safe, loved and secure.. Now when other Dogs bark she runs for me - if not me- she runs for her big sister Daisy!  She already knows Daisy will protect her. 

If the photo above  upsets you - please don't get a pup! The photos above made me want to JUMP for joy!! lol  This little girl is only a couple of weeks old and is already doing her business on the pads - or outside!  We have no accident in 3 days - Hip Hip Hooray! You need PATIENCE when it comes to a pup! My girls  must get credit too- they are training her for me- when I say outside & they RUN- she follows.  Daisy is teaching her  how to play with toys and is incredibly gentle- it teaches me the nature of animals- the kindness, compassion & love they KNOW how to share.  Poppy teaches Ginger everything else! Play, fighting, drinking, napping etc- because Ginger Looks up to her big sister. I've never seen the tip of Poppies white tail wag like it does now that we have Ginger.

Ginger wakes up - looks at me -as if she realizes every time- "Oh yeah! There's my mom this is my home!"  & she jumps up to my face and gives me kisses - Thank You!!! I hear with each bounce.  Poppy's gets slightly jealous at times- when Ginger wants to take a turn napping on moms lap but I never take Poppy off if she was there first- she is still my special companion, working girl and rockstar... Ginger has to lean respect too.
Now that she KNOWS nothing BUT love- from all of us, is happy, safe, confident, playful & healthy- today the training begins,  since it's so lovely out - Norm & I were just saying today - let's chill, enjoy the sunshine and give 'Ginger her first swimming lesson- only a couple more weeks & the pool will close for another season (already).

I don't understand Humans who say "They are JUST dogs", it saddens me to hear this coming from no less - dog owners.  I know Dog owners who have abused, hurt, neglected and forgotten their dogs.  YOUR dog would save your home & life if capable- many do. Dogs are the BEST security IMO too- we were just informed this morning  by the police - a string of 'break ins' happened in this area on Saturday night.   With  our dogs - just  step on the front lawn (because we don't have  side walk) and our dogs KNOW it and so will everyone else- that is when I do allow them to BARK.  One sleeps by the window at might.  They also bark when someone is at my elderly neighbours front door! Good, she likes it too.  I can tell when by the pool, if someone is in my driveway just by how my dogs bark.
'Just dogs'..  hardly.

I do however understand when people say (& I have several friends who all agree):
The more people they know the more they like dogs.  
Do yourself a favour- consider getting a dog to love - they'll love you right back if you treat them well.  All I really understand is my heart feels empty when I have no dogs in my life (never happen if I can help it) they are our family.  Yesterday Storm invited us for a rooftop BBQ and the whole family went in our new truck, such a comfortable drive. Norm said - "I had to have the crew cab - for the CREW!" I was so please  to se them all happy - they have so much room behind our seats & if we go anywhere we will easily put a 'tub of ice water with them - incase we have to run into a store.. we don't like to do that though if avoidable.
They had a great day up on the roof - Poppy seems to love city life- watching every streetcar and barking at anyone who dares looked up in our direction. I was frightened about he rood top - already the girls don't even go NEAR the edge! They just know.   Daisy loves to be with her boy and Scruffy could care less - about anything. Ginger. Ginger is happy to have her new forever family.
 Pat your dog! Thank them today for all the love they provide.

The Tiki Show was a success!  A few TiniWeenieTiki are off to new homes this week!  Yesterdays was a lovely day-  We set up for the show in record time and I was home enjoying the pool while my pal pushed Tiki! Hee Hee Hee    Kat had a great time at the Tiki Booth- I thinks just likes to say "Aloha!"  She told me a few tried the game with success- good - because most think its too difficult - until You're 'hooked that is'.  

I must say it was nice to take a TiniWeenie break- and NOW my mind is full cannabis mode again...  Not long now!  I find I just wan tot paint positive images with cannabis- because it is a healing, helping plant.

Did you read about Monsanto? This was the best news I have read in a very long time!
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/10/health/monsanto-johnson-trial-verdict/index.html
I cried of  few tears of joy for this guy & the planet.  

Last week (just days before the Tiki Show) I was sent an e mail from someone...
in it I was informed: "And for the record, your art is not that great.  The only thing that makes it great is that you are so handicapped and you can still draw.  Its more like charity art.”    This same  woman told me  "my face is ugly" and others would be ashamed to be seen with me.  She even went to the extent to add "(YES UGLY)"  in case I missed it the first time.  Was I shocked? No,  because  I know who sent it.  
A seriously  mentally ill  woman - she's proved it several times over, if I shared details with you - yes, you'd be shocked but why bother - WHY give this "evil" any more attention at all?   

Did the art comment hurt - hell no. That I know is coming from a jealous,  insecure - uncreative person.  Making fun of me - ? - just like How Trump makes fun of people with disabilities - she is American - so that explains a lot.  
Yes, my disability is visual but hers is deep dark and hidden.   
YES! I am handicapped with these hands -it's beyond my control  & I AM proud I get out of bed EVERY day & continue to PAINT!  Continue to inspire and continue to be ME! Continue to put this "ugly face" & paintings out there!  Unlike some who just run around in their own brain trying to figure out how they can hurt others by causing destruction & pain.

The face comment- yes it hurt... it hurt because I know it's true, I know how I look when my face contorts and it hurts and I don't like it - so she was just being her TRUE, nasty bitch shelf buy sharing that with me. We all know how crazy some women get over lying cheating boyfriends, she's hurt and wants to hurt anyone & anything she can.  My face may be 'ugly' to some (my son thinks I'm beautiful, my dogs too by the way -   lol )   but this  woman - she  IS UGLY to the CORE.  

I'm grateful for the lesson. I'm more grateful that I had  an amazing conversation last night from someone I admire & respect, he simply reminded me:  
Rise above, that is not you - don't be dragged down to their level of low of shameful behaviour.  Continue to show your beauty through your art & smile - as crooked as it may be  because you ARE  love - ly.   

Today - I feel fantastic! ready to greet this day & paint! The TiniWeenieTikiShow show was a success! I even paid my handyman!!   & my friend Kat- made my day for several reasons- I'm happy we still call each other 'friend' after 30 years and MANY ups & downs.  People SMILE when they look at my art- what are you contributing to the world today?
Pain & suffering or Peace and pleasure?   Im painting  plants, pleasure & peace.

Thank you eveyone who continues to tell me I'm beautiful, I am trying hard to keep putting  'this face' out there.. I know what you mean & I appreciate the love but I certainly don't 'NEED' the comments to keep going...

I have God reminding every single day - I am PERFECT exactly as I am. 

Time to PAINT Cannabis!! Play with my girls, harass Norm - what can we make now!?!!
LOL    OH!! - I am designing my own new day bed! - he is building - Wait & see!! I saw it on line and it is way beyond my current budget- but Norm will make it and it will have even more value - custom made for me - with TLC.  Time to get busy!
Below a few photos of the tiki show set up.

"Wouldn't it be cool if my TiniWeenieTiki had a Tiki Hut to sell them from?"
I saw the light in Norms eyes twinkle when I said it.. "I drew a sketch... in case you're curious"   (lol).  

I tell you - it's one of those times..  I am reminded we make a very good creative team- I enjoy creating on paper/canvas/wood - and he enjoys creating in a different dimension - you could say.  While I was busy in the back yard painting Tiki - he was in the garage.
Later in the day he said "Come see your Tiki Bar!"  When I walked into the garage and saw my sketch come to life in front of me - I felt emotional.   Grateful.  

I felt ... loved.

I know what he is capable of & I know how long his "ToDo"  list is. - lol  The fact that he stopped it all to make this awesome Tiki Bar- in record time was appreciated more than flowers, dinner and  bonbons!  You can't 'Buy' love.  You can pay a prostitute :) & they do deserve your money - but true love...  NFS.
You can't buy love - but you can express your love & appreciation  in countless ways.
This was one of those ways and I am grateful.

My TiniWeenieTiki will be at the show this  Saturday - look for the TIKI hut.
I'm not sure how the show will go, it's never easy to put yourself out there & to put a price on your work'  one that others might not agree with- usually thats because they have no concept of how long it takes to create something, the many steps & brushstrokes involved.
Perhaps no tiki will sell - maybe they will all sell!  I really don't care because I enjoy them & I KNOW they will make my friends & family smile.. that alone has been worth  creating them  and you'll soon see they progress into garden totems, animal tiki totems & more. Every new day  I'm excited to be imagining the  new Tiki I'll create the nest day. Be sure mohave a peek at the TIKI Bar- I've made it a TIKI Fortune telling bar- with 37 different responses- It's simple- what ever you read first - when you walk up to the TIKI bar- is what the TIKI want's you to focus on! hee hee

The trick is to keep trying.
Trying by being creative, expressing yourelf- let yourself shine- no matter what ANYONE else thinks. Remember when at a show - the only ones who ever say anything negative are those who are jealous, insecure, usually not creative themselves  or just nasty f*ckng people with nothing better in their lives so they knock others work.  LOOK, and listen WHERE it is coming from - wish them well  - tell them to fuck off and keep moving forward. ;)

Below  a couple of detailed shots of the 'Tiki Fortune telling bar' -  even the bamboo that holds up the roof is 'painted PVC pipe. ;)  Today- Back to painting Cannabis for me! Taking a tiki break- I read today Canopy/Canada is researching cannabis for dogs & creating a dog food with it in it! - YEAH!   I'm so grateful to read knowing soon our pets will have the same options- safer than pills in many cases I've no doubts!  The times they are a changing!

! The Mushroom king - had me giggling the moment his crown appeared. 
I do not pre sketch my TWT- only in my mind, so when they appear in front of me...
​ I'm just a surprised as you might be - lol   The mushroom king is aware!

Aware we are here for a good time- not a long time! So make the most of every moment!
Have Fun. Be Creative.  Know that you have the grandeur of God within & SHINE! 
These Tiki are energetic - I feel them each time I stop & observe!

It won't be long long before I set my TWT free! Some more goodness came from these tiki
I now have an incredible TIKI bar!!   lol     I did a little sketch and mentioned to Norm ..
"Wouldn't be awesome if my Tiki had a Tiki bar booth?"      
The past few days 'in between tiki' Norm made me an incredible booth/bar & I painted it of course (with a Twist)  I can't believe how it turned out,  beyond thrilled.  I added- "who knew all I needed to do to get a tiki bar was create the Tiki."  
This Tiki bar would sell in a heart beat - If I wanted to - I DO not.  If anyone is interested they can order their own- I spent an entire day just painting the bar top (different & intriguing  is how I would describe it)  after the show I'm putting my Tiki Bar in the studio to become my TiniWeenieTiki  Cannabis bar!  Hee Hee -  Bring on the TIKI!

Here are my first 3 tiki - agains the  fence in the backyard - where I plan on hanging them all
They look great from a far & even better up close.  

Yikes- it's been humid.. the tiki for the show are all painted & can't add any now for fear they won't be dry enough in time  with the humidity, the next  2 days it's all about details- grass skirts & name tags.  If you want to see them all - you have to go to the show! 
I'll still 'share' them as time goes on- in order I painted. I only have 12 Tiki For Sale*

I myself am not sure I will stay for the show- I will be there to set up - you know why I paint Tiki - I wish I could get past this' so I could socialize more- it's  exhausting when I even start to think about talking to strangers,  I'll let my Tiki speak for themselves - I WOULD like to stand somewhere where I can 'watch reactions' to my Tiki - that makes me happy - seeing others smile at my work...  perhaps I'll be the person hiding behind the tiki.  ;D  

Tiki Bar tomorrow!  Want to come christen it with me? As soon as the studio is open...

'Tokem was my #2,  TiniWeenieTiki and he is all about cannabis & enjoyment!
Tokem was  inspired by my son Storm.. I thought I'd have a little fun and play with my TiniWeenieTiki and celebrate the coming of legalization in just 7o  days! Tokem is all about the green! It starts with 7 green feathers on top of his head & check out that smile!
Cannabis makes Tokem feel GOOD! Toke has a joint  which he joyfully puffs all day long.

Tokem is taller than the Shaman - it was quite the physical stretch (not mental) to paint this TWT, laughing all the while as these faces smile back at me. I can't wait!! Cannabis will be legal in 70 days! Are you ready Canada!? I AM!  

I'm proud of the fact I am a cannabis consumer - even  prouder my son is a cannabis grower- he inspired this tall, happy TiniWeenieTiki.   You can see Tokem  in a video on my IG page. Or you can see him this up coming weekend at thePainted Perch - he will be for sale with several of his tiki family!  Wait until you see the TiniWeenieTiki hut built to welcome visitors to the TWTiki booth!

Today it's all about adding details to 'Hook-em-Eh!'  - Games- there will be a demo for you to try before you buy. I wish you could see Tokem in person - his vibrant green pops and he almost seems to Glow at times - is it the paint or cannabis?  Who cares as long as you feel this good.
​
Back to painting! Such a busy week - so much to celebrate with every new TWT created.. I mentioned to Norm "I'm at #18 and I can hardly contain my excitement to paint the next idea in my head"... - I just painted 'His Royal Highness' - today it's a king and queen.  
Hee Hee - Lucky Me!

Back to it- Do what you love- Have a CREATIVE day!

 Today I painted a Halloween tiki! Yesterday a garden tiki.. the day before a pink passionate love filled tiki!  I can't get enough..  I put a piece of wood down, turn up the music, get my girls settled, spark a joint and let my imagination & pencil run wild! YeeeeeHeeeee!  I love painting these Tiki!!  I laugh at myself - I was determined to paint a canvas a day- who knew it was tiki Time? They are more fun that canvas imo, I currently have 3 hanging in my bedroom! I wake up, look over & smile - WAKE up to another CREATIVE day!!  Happy to be Alive - Blessed that I get to stay home with my dogs, paint ART that makes me and others SMILE & laugh,  I don't know what else I could want - well, perhaps the same thing  on a few acres in up North in my own studio..  How will I pack the bluejay?  ;) 

Norm's got the 'Tiki  fever' - like it or not- lol - I think he likes it- he laughs  every time he see's a finished tiki - loved the 'first custom' - he remarked I really "caught the look & feel" of the male tiki in it. I'm glad because after he works all day - he comes home to cut out Tiki! lol & he is building a Tiki Hut display booth!  Why not?  It reminds me of TY booth days gone by...  currently on #17 tiki -but that includes my other 'Tiny Tiki - "Hook-Em-Eh!"  they are called.. what a hit! IF you show up the TWTIKI booth you can 'try  before you buy.'
 We played on the weekend with Storm and had several giggles - I KNOW they will go.
I'll be loading the video on Instagram any day of  my first  Purple passion "Hook-Em-Eh!"   DEMO- hee hee .  These TWTiki are NOT work.. they started with a funny idea, I am truly enjoying creating, thinking, giggling and excited to CREATE each one..   pure pleasure.
That & I realize I'm not thinking about any bullshit or *anyone. 
I'm doing what I am meant to be doing.

The official name is :   TINI Weenie Tiki '  
;D Can you guess why?

I decided to have fun & a giggle with my first Tiki- called "the Shaman" I can not get the Shaman out of my mind for some reason- he's about to do BIG things...  history changing.   You 'meet' him here NOW!  I wasn't sure what to paint 'when at that area' - should I paint 'a leaf' to make it 'kid friendly' -  and I realized - NO- that is part of the problem. Men have penises- fact- we must talk about them and teach kids what is acceptable & not acceptable as soon as possible to avoid any problems in life.  Help eliminate #metoo for our young children before they can say... #metoo.   What better way yo educate than with FUN- and creating an opportunity for conversation - kids will think it's just 'simply funny '- because they are.

Sure enough  when I finally showed Storm after painting the 6th, my own son  said: "Do they have to have a penis??"  LOL!  (eye roll) so - you can thank him for the added detail of the TiniWeenieTiki Skirts - more fun! hee hee hee  - if you don't want anyone to see the 'tiniweenie - don't tell them! Leave the skirt on- I'm not showing any TiniWeenies here!  Hee hee hee - if you want to see you have to come see them in person. ;)

They will be seen on my 'Tree Videos' - how I'll be introducing them on IG. 
'I'll paint a tini weenie penis on this tiki  & ALL of them - to remind us we are all human and not to let our TINI Weenie rule our  big heads. Male & female.  The next thing I knew a complete tiki sat in front of  me - from wood to Tiki - it took Norm minutes to cut it for me & he also paints the backs black & applies hardware & clear coats them to protect them should they be hung outside- but i don't reccomend it- they will get ruined in time - unless you hang them in a sheltered area- like in a covered tiki bar.   These Tiki are good to go - 
Hang in your front entrance hall to welcome your guests or in your bedroom to wake each day with a smile - I know.

The tiki who need one also come with a Tini Weenie Tiki  Skirt - detailed with fun mementos (Provided by the clients for custom) I wire on to each one- SO- only the owner knows whats under that little grass skirt!  Is it a big weenie or a TINI Weenie- No matter - you seen one you seen them all! It's just a Tini Weenie...  no matter, everyone who looks at them smile- and then you cans see as their faces follow it down from top to bottom - a giggle escapes at the awareness of the tiniweenie. It's all about fun.
 
AS I create  I sing, pray  & play with the girls &  I 'bless'  (Ginger took her first dip) every Tiki & as I tie on the tiki skirt - The LAST detail in one of many - I touch that Tini Weenie  & tell EACH Tiki:

Behave!
Be Good!
Have fun!
Maker others Laugh!
Teach Only Love for that is what you are little tiniweenietiki.. created out of love.

#2 - I named "Tokem Tiki" to celebrate legalization!!
Theres also a mushroom tiki, LSD tiki, couples tiki & more! Come see my tiki!

Well sleep still  isn't on the agenda.. lol  Naps yes - puppy naps.  As anticipated Poppy & the pup bond more every hour, they are starting to play regular and it makes me laugh! Dogs help keep you in the NOW if you let them.  I find I just stare - amazed -the puppy is incredibly clumsy and DETERMINED.. I feel her name has yet to show itself.  Poppy & it have actually shared a basket!!  Poppy plays but at times she lets it know - I'm done playing!, this is awesome because pop helps tire out the baby & is getting exercise,   
Stairs are an adventure - you will see the determination with each one - and cameras now have 'slow motion'-  cuteness in slow motion!! Good thing most of my photos are a blur, a glimpse of a tail or paw, It is already pad trained, little dogs  get lost int he 5 feet of snow so it=s a good way to go.

I  looked and pondered  for over a year about another dog, I am very glad we got her, she's been an lovely distraction as well.  Much needed this weekend as it turned out...  Norm & I had a battle on the weekend- to make a long story short - my dad was the number 1 fleet salesman for ford for years & I too worked in the car business a few years...  Norm went to buy a truck - every time I asked: what's going on with the truck- my gut said 'NOPE' this is not right.. a week later*still with no 'final price' AFTER I explicitly saying DO NOT buy the truck UNTIL you talk to me and tell me the final price - as it just kept going UP.  Norm put down a deposit- I was NOT impressed... to say the least.  I lost it early Saturday morning! (my apologies neighbours- I wish I could control myself - but the only way it seems for 'NORM to get it' is for me to lose it.)   WELL - he knew I meant business and when he called for the deposit back the sales man sang a different tune NOWhe suddenly had time for him, was ear to sell the truck...  Norm found out the salesman was lying, turns out he vehicle -(which sounded too good to be true) had been stolen, and oh it was in an accident (probably a write off)- not information that was volunteered, turns out he was told to pay for 2 warranties and then found out Ford would not cover either  warranty - the GUY was  a POS  salesman & I knew it.
He got the money back and was relieved we didn't spend $40,00 of a piece of crap.
DID he say "Geeze George thanks for making me aware and saving us $40,000 for a piece of crap"  No.. I had been proven right AGAIN and  we had a huge BLOW out that ALL COULD have been avoided had he OLNY listened to me!  I tell you I'm so tired of his stubborn especially when it could cost us.

MY dad taught me a thing or two about car sales -
ONE if you're looking a vehicle and immediately a sales man says "I have another buyer interested also.."  ignore it, he's full of shit. The seed is planted to instil fear- 'YOU better make up your mind fast..."  & then to create a price war. 
TWO - get the VIN number and DO your own research on line before you buy- isn't it worth it for 40,000??? 
Three: ASK- THEY must tell YOU- Has this vehicle been in an accident?
& my dad said - if so-  move on - IF the alternator has been cracked your F&(*ed and it could be days, weeks, months and your vehicle will break down and be useless - probably before you've paid it off, of course.
DO NOT tell them you NEED it for work..  then they think YOU are desperate.
He also said ​If you're going to spend your money on a vehicle and they don't show you respect- Norm waited one day at the dealership and hour and a 1/2 and the ass was 'too busy to even acknowledge him' - MOVE the fuck on- why would you pay people who show you NO respect any money- image if the vehicle has problems- the guy already treats you like shit- do you think it would get better?  

Anyhow the business and the man have been reported as they should and thank GOD we didn't get that truck-  if it sounds too good to be true- IT probably is and I thought it was ILLEGAL to advertise the wrong price-  It was already $10,000 more & rising than the listed price.  Did NORM say sorry to me? Eventually, because I made him.
Ask me if I care - I just saved US $40,000.  
I do think he's grateful - now.
Were still searching for a 'gently used PU -  white - if you know of one send me a message. 

Thank God for puppies & tiki creating - I painted through  it - I told my girlfriend  - who freaked over my TIKI - "My TIKI are my ticket".   My ticket out... YES, I guess you could say that - out of bullshit, out of misery, out of my mind and problems,  painting them - I can't help buy smile, so colourful & expressive - I even laugh when everyone is complete.  Soon you'll see what I'm talking about - not until next month probably, then I'm having a Tiki booth at an outdoor sale.

PLEASE be an educated consumer - especially on a used vehicle, I think car/truck sales men should be charged for potentially causing bodily harm/attempted murder when they intentionally lie about faulty vehicles, because that's exactly how it might end up.   

NOW - have a look at my baby & feel better about this day - I DO!

26 years Norm & I have been married, yesterday. 
We actually had dinner, I got roses & we cheered each other - with a look of  surprise more than anything. BUT we did cheer, that's  more than I can say for the past few years.  
Norm & I have reached a mutual agreement it appears. 
We have had a lot of time to talk.. discuss especially since Storm moved and it's a different dynamic around here.
 
We have reached an agreement it appears on several issues.  
There's no way you can live 26 years with someone and not get on each others nerves from time to time but with me being able to now get away more often, either to visit my son or with traveling (which I'm getting excited for again), visits to nature - this is my life how it is NOW.  Our backyard is like an oasis, bird habitat - I like all my neighbours, I love how the dogs all run out and say 'hello to each other'. I love hearing kids laughing, playing OUTSIDE. One little girl the other day cracked me up as  She was trying to get dads attention: Dada, dada, dada, dada dada - lol Storm use to do this also when little: Mom, Mom, Mom ,mom, mom, mommy mom, mom..   it made me laugh every time. 

I have surrendered to it - this medical thing- I'm embracing it.  I LOVE it! I has made me STRONG! Taught me to say FUCK OFF! & given me strength to stand  up for what I believe in and *stand ALONE if I must! So be it! 
 
If anyone would not "want 'to be SEEN" with me...  it speaks VOLUMES about them, doesn't it.  What a powerful gift that is.     Pbbbbbht - They should be so lucky.
   BUT - I'm going in a new direction, done 'chasing' anything, anyone...    
                                    it's all about creating from NOW on.

I painted a new moto for my desk:  Fuck it, Chuck It, Own it.
Fuck it: all that causes me stress, I don't need others 'crap'... OR stuff - I got all I NEED. 
Chuck it: Good bye STUFF, guilt, past- stay where you belong.
I don't need excess crap any and 'stuff to DUST' - I will surround myself with love & experience.   Lovely = People & things.
OWN it:  If I want it- I'll get it! Taking what I deserve hands wide open. ;)   LOVE 
Creating  work that inspires! Make other smile- I gotta say -I'm sorry I can NOT sell my TIKIs- They are making laugh OUT loud- no drugs needed!  I can't stop - I'm on #4 and will make a TIKI fence- a rainbow of TIKI!  If someone wants one, they will make me an offer I can't refuse or I will have them to enjoy myself with friends & family.
​BE.
OWN it.

I am thankful. 
Big changes are on the way.. 
We are both very  happy for Storm, he's doing well & enjoying himself- we visited again on the weekend it takes some getting use to mentally & physically',  he's happy & his apartment is very nice, he's having the adventure of his life.  At this point I'm NOW enjoying the 'creative quiet' - I'm diving in. He's on his own path, now.  
So we have made some decisions.  Who knows what tomorrow brings?
Exciting news to reveal soon...

Wait until you see my Tiki's.. 
Next.. A little Alice in Wonderland.
