Inner City Blues


Inner City Blues

Here's something a little different for you.  My friend saw this and
asked"when did Rick get a tattoo?"
My response: "You're kidding right?  He would never get a tattoo with a flower in it."



Meet Sammy:

Sammy

We have a fountain with a crack behind it.  Sammy the Snake lives there.  He is looking for a mate and his dating profile says his hobbies are rat hunting, slithering, and sleeping all day, in that order.  Every evening, when I’m relaxing watching the sun set, he appears.  Even though we keep different hours and have nothing in common, we can happily co-exist.  There’s a lesson in there somewhere.  Then he sticks his tongue out at me and moves on.

Thanks for following along!

Mariachi Brothers

Back in the saddle again, as the saying goes, after
that pinched nerve in the back thing.
Man, that was a show stopper.

Life is good again and I'm full of ideas.
I think a break sometimes gives you fresh insight into
the direction you want to head next.
It's all one big wonderful journey.

If you're in the middle of an enforced painting break
I wish you a speedy recovery and
renewed enthusiasm:)

Thanks for following along!
