Demi tasse at the bistro table. Note the floor cloth which belongs to my floor cloth painting period.

To the right of this screen you will see a small photo of me and HAPPY as a puppy. She lived a great life at Brivzemnieki, a farmstead in Latvia. Happy passed on last spring. She is missed by the cats and dogs and kids at the farm. She lives on in my memory and in my book HAPPY GIRL.

Century 21 has some real doozies on the market. Hey Aunt Victoria. It's small. Is this what you had in mind?

Here is our new home in Waterville, Maine. It's Dutch Colonial built in 1925 with a huge back yard.

We finally found our dream house but then the tide came in and it floated away beyond our reach.

Easter Sunday we went to Hunnewell Beach because Popham Beach denies access to dogs due to the nesting season of plovers.

Stormy weather in Brunswick. Still we had fun at Thomas Point Beach.

I love Tim Pickett's chainsaw art. This bear bench is where I bask in the sunny mid January days at Thomas Point Beach. Tim's other chainsaw animal sculptures were posted shortly before Christmas.

New Year's day on Popham Beach. Amazing weather. Wish you were here!

Snow finally on the ground. We went for a walk at Thomas Point Beach and visited our favourite band of animals. Folk art... er, chain-saw art is wonderful here. Santa sent Laachuk a brand new leash for Christmas. Good dogs stay in Ottawa, bad dogs go everywhere...
