One of the programs at the Akiyama Wellness Center where I'm working this summer is something called "Coffee Klatch". After an early morning exercise class, the ladies come to the center for coffee and cookies. I'm not much of a baker but luckily for me, I have some really good friends who are. I begged one of the best cookies makers around (THANK YOU Emily A.) if she would make a batch of cookies that can also be frozen so I can always have a supply handy. If you in the area stop on by for a cup of coffee and some tasty homemade cookies.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
