T Stands A Tuesday post on Monday
Tonight, as it is about 7:30 PM, here, I am drinking water.....smart water.............no it does NOT seem to help!!!! It has gotten back up into the triple digits again and that calls for water around the clock. I don't even leave the house without a bottle of water with me. Now that plays havoc with a wee thing called the bladder.........LOL! I know where ALL the clean restrooms are with in a 50 mile radius!!!!
No GDs here this week, as they are over to the beach where it is a balmy 63' (F) 17' (C)at the moment. I can't wait to join them Wednesday....the forecast says 73' (F) 23' (C) for the rest of the week. Right now it has cooled down from 106" (F) to 100' (F) 38' (C)!!!
It has been a very busy summer......since I last sat down to join Elizabeth and the T-gang. I have Hannah and Megan Monday through Thursday every week. I have never painted so many picture in such a short time. It all started with the paintings, I have stacked on the fireplace, that I have done at the paint party events. They decided they wanted to try some of them, then Hannah discovered Pinterest and has pinned close to 100 she wants to paint!!!! YIKES! I've created a monster! She is satisfied to paint small ones in her art journal.....thank goodness. Since I can't afford 2-4 canvases (2 GDs) every day, they have settled for 9x12 watercolor paper taped to a canvas. Which is great, then they paint both sides, and I am putting them into books for them to take home. Yes, I'll share photos in later posts, which should take until almost Christmas!!
The 40th birthday card, to the right of my PC is for our oldest son, his birthday is August 4th. GOSH, 40 years old!! I thought I had better get it made while I have some peace and quiet............I KNOW.......in about 3 weeks I am going to be complaining about how quiet it is around here, and how there is anything to do...........LOL!
Last Friday night I painted this Koi
Here is my friend Carol and I hard at work on a different painting Saturday night.
So that wraps up this post I hope you join me in visiting the rest of the T-Gang this week.
Here are some smiles....................
Pssst! I'm already old and they are already saying this about me.........even sort of looks like me!

have an extraordinary week and happy t-day!
It sounds like there has been a whole lot of paint being applied here and there. I am anxious to see what you have created in the class.
Hope you enjoy the beach later in the week and that the temps at home go down a bit.
I enjoyed reading your post and had a big smile on my face as U looked at the fun quotes at the end. I loved the lady in purple, it reminded me of a poem I liked. When I am old I shall wear purple by Jenny Joseph.
Have a happy T Day

Time does have a way of flying by doesn't it.
Sounds like you're having fun and that's a good thing.
The heat is something else!
Yesterday the heat index reached 112 here in the Wash DC area.
What would we do without A/C!
Happy T Day oxo
Your painting of the koi is very good. Brush and blush makes me think of 'blush' as in rosé wine. But I spied water not wine. (I paint much better with a glass of wine, you know...) Only joking. I know you all have to drive home again of course.
BTW you are looking good lady! Yep, my son will be 40 too this August. He lives in Italy and I have booked a flight to be with him and his family on his birthday. I hope your son lives a bit nearer.
I smiled at your funnies. Especially the melting cat. The lady i n purple is everybody's dream, I would love to be like that, but when it boils down to it, I always behave myself boringly.
I can identify with the Tupperware drawer. Most of my Tupperware is sooo old. I have some that I have inherited from my mother, 55 years old! They are the pastel colored round dishes. They have 'made in Florida' on them as it was in the days before they started manufacturing them in Europe. I better keep them as they will be a valuable antique one day, lol.
Thank you for visiting,
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Smart water? Never heard of it, but it has a catchy name at least. But I liked the photo of you with your latest painting. Speaking of which, the corn funny was hilarious. I could fry an egg in my driveway, if that counts, but I'm not sure I could make popcorn.
THanks for sharing this update and wonderful art and smart water with us for T this Tuesday. I'm thrilled to see you posting again, even if it's just to check in while the g'girls are gone. and here's to your son having a great birthday, too.
