Pink Saturday

May 23, 2009 at 12:06 am by Claudia

Hard to believe another week has gone by so quickly, but it is Pink Saturday again…please stop by our hostess Beverly’s blog and see the list of all the participants. I must admit I was afraid I had nothing pink to offer this week. Then, my husband and I were having breakfast with friends and one of them gave me a little Pink Saturday treat. She reads my blog. My present was this sweet little teapot.

Isn’t it adorable? Thank you, Lynne!

This week I bought more tulips and was sure they were a pale lavender. When I got them home, I found they were the palest of pinks ~ a delicate, lovely pink.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

A Beach Interlude

May 21, 2009 at 7:59 pm by Claudia

My schedule has been erratic while Don has been visiting, but we did manage a few hours at the beach today. He also went on his own earlier in the week, but we always have a visit together. After all, we met on this beach while attending a Fourth of July party. It is very special to us. As always, once I am walking on the beach, breathing in that ocean breeze, I feel my shoulders dropping and I relax.

Tonight is opening night for one of the plays I have been coaching. That’s 1 down, 3 to go. Don leaves early, and I mean early, tomorrow morning. I expect I will be sad and a bit down. The weekend will be full of run-throughs for the 3 plays, so I shall be busy and that will most certainly help. As of next Monday, I have but 6 weeks to go before I head home.

Summer Roses and White Cabbage Butterfy

I recently won a giveaway from my artist friend, Helene Glehen. Helene lives in France and is tremendously talented. I marvel at her beautiful watercolor and oil paintings. You must visit her blog and see her beautiful creations.

Yesterday, I checked my mail at the Theater and there was an envelope from France. This was inside.

This original watercolor is entitled: Summer Roses and White Cabbage Butterfly. Isn’t it lovely? The colors are a bit off; I’ve tried to get them as close to the original as possible.
