Australian Open, A Sketch and More

I stayed up until almost 2 again last night this morning working crossword puzzles and watching tennis. At one point there was an interview with Roger Federer and Rod Laver. Rod was sitting somewhat sideways and I couldn't help but notice what a great nose he had. So I did a quick sketch of him next to the one of Rafa Nadal I'd made earlier.




I just got home from the post office and a hair cut appointment. I heard from Tracey to claim her Andrea Joseph zine and she sent me her addy. She lives in a place I'd never heard of before, so I went to Google maps and tried to do a sketch of a house in her town.





I know that Photo Booth is not the best way to take a self portrait, but I wanted to show you my haircut and I thought that you maybe would like to put a face to this "voice" of mine. For what it is worth, here I am.


I don't own any make up, and wouldn't know how to apply it correctly anyway, so you get the real me.


I am hoping to watch more tennis this afternoon and then the hubster and I are meeting the son and his family for dinner. After that we are going to my daughter's to celebrate my birthday early. I will be the big "60" on Monday, but we are going on vacation so won't be around for it. The hubster's birthday is on Groundhog's Day, so we will be celebrating his tonight too.


I hope you are having a great day today. Tracey, I was told at the post office that it would take between 12 and 15 days for the zine to reach you. Please let me know when you receive it and how you like it.


xoxo

  3. Love the sketches on your crossword puzzle! I thought of you when I saw that the Australian Open was on TV, wondering if you still had an interest in tennis. Happy Birthday to you and your husband, and have a wonderful vacation. I hope you're taking your camera along because I really loved all those sunset photos you took last year.

    I'm not that far behind you but I have a feeling I won't look as young.
