Today was a very productive and lucky day for me. This is the last weekend before our house goes on the market.
I made what I hope is the last run to the dump.
Got the last Beckmann's Strawberry Olallieberry pie at the farmer's market. It's the best pie around and one of my Dad's favorites. I thought they would only have pumpkin and pecan like last week so I was super thrilled when I saw it.
The Hope charity truck was open so I could drop off all the clothes that are now to big for me. I decided last night it would be foolish to pack clothes that don't fit anymore.
Can't have pie without high fat ice cream. I really wanted to get my Dad's favorite Haagen Dazs ice cream to go along with his pie. Almost gave up finding White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. In my need to keep things in order, I started putting the ice cream back in their proper places when waaaaay in the back was the last of the raspberry ice cream. Happy dance down the ice cream aisle.
I was lucky all morning, so I picked up a lottery ticket. Stay tuned to see how that turns out. :)
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
