Pathways

I'm going to *try* to keep up with an art challenge. Journal 52. The prompt for the first week is "Pathways". This is what I did for this. 

The path to your own destiny lies within the magic of your own heart.

I am thinking about adding shading to the black and white sections, but I haven't really decided yet. The original idea was a swami or fortune teller with a turban gazing into a crystal ball and saying "The path...." Think the old fashioned 'put a quarter in and get your fortune' booth they had at the fair.

Brown Sugar: Horse of Another Carver event

December 13th is the National Day of the Horse. 2014 is the year of the horse.

So, I carved a stamp for the occasion and am planting a letterbox on the 13th.


I'm thinking of planting it somewhere near that big horse statue in Troutdale by the truck stops. If it's still there. I haven't been down that way lately, but I remember something about the boot store closing. I have a couple of weeks to think of a good place to plant it.

Here is the event:

Decided on a whim to go letterboxing today. It was good to get out in the fresh air. Sadie is proving to be a wonderful dog. She always comes when I call her. I don't have to worry about her getting lost. Still not clear on the whole leash thing.

She's socializing pretty well. She's going to have to learn to bond with me a little more if she's going to be a therapy dog for me. I don't know much about what I'm doing, so I'm hoping I'm training her right. I don't really "train" a dog, I just talk to her and treat her like one of my kids, and it usually works out. It did with Suzy, anyway. She is the best "nurse dog" ever. But, at 14 years old or more, she can barely see and is almost deaf. It's time to retire and let the new generation take over.
