First Full Day of School and Stuff Like That

The hubster and I drove to my daughter's house this morning bright and early. He was going to do some yard work for her and she and I were going to walk. But first, she and I walked to the bus stop with Miss P and Miss M. What fun! and then she and I drove to school to get pix and offer support to the kindergartner. She was doing just fine on her own and really didn't need us there - she did pose for a pic or two, though. I'd love to share a photo or two with you, but I left my camera in my daughter's car.

Once we got back from the kindergarten trip, we walked for just over 3 miles and then she and I went to the local tire place to get a tire on her car patched. From there we went to Meijer to pick up some groceries and then she drove me home.


I just finished watching the Bartoli/Sharapova match - more really good women's tennis. I also saw part of the Vinci/Errani match. It, too, was a good one.


I am now in my art room and have taken a couple of pix (with my other camera) so I could share them with you.

I'm not sure what else is going to be added, but it doesn't feel done yet.

I also did my gray value study yesterday and have this to show for it.

I noticed the value studies could be read in either row order (the way in which they were produced) or in column order.

And here is a photo of Miss Z from last week. I think she is planning to be an early reader. 

I haven't decided yet whether or not I am going to the yoga class this evening. I've already put in a pretty busy away-from-home schedule and the hubster is gone to a Tiger game with his brother so I just might stay in and enjoy the quiet.

I do think Nancy and I are going to the life drawing class in the morning. It's been a long time since I've been there. And then Miss Z comes on Friday afternoon for a couple of overnights. If the weather is nice I may take her to the Harvest Festival in Rives on Saturday afternoon. I think it will be nice to get her out and break up the day a bit.

Meanwhile, I am trying to get some creative time in each day. What about you? Are you finding time for yourself? Are you willing to share?
