I have a 15 year old west highland white terrier.  Every morning he comes with me to my studio and flops in his bed in his little dog house.  The other morning he didn't follow me but I could hear him making noise down the hall.  I couldn't figure out what he was doing so I snuck down the hall to see.  He had gone into the bathroom, pulled out a clean towel from the shelf, dragged it over the heater vent and made himself a nice warm bed.  True story!





Today I was playing with photoshop and thought I would share.  She's free to use if you credit me. Enjoy!

I remember...

The first things I remember as a kid are growing up in the homestead house in Anchorage Alaska.  It was out in the middle of nowhere and we played for hours outside making mud pies getting dirty and playing with our Norwegian Elkhound “Yenta”. 

It was a cool house that was laid out so you could run from room to room and they all connected.  We used to run in circles yelling and laughing and being noisy kids.  But my favorite memory is finding a permanent marker, hiding under the kitchen table and drawing my masterpieces on the bottom of the table.  I also drew masterpieces on the back of the couch – I was so bad!  Years later when Mom and Dad finally got rid of the old couch, they cut out the back panel and saved my drawings.  I think they still have it rolled up somewhere…


Years later, the homestead house is gone and I’ve moved to another town.  Yet here I am still running through the house yelling and laughing and making noise; and still taking permanent markers to things!
