This time around, I've purged a whole lot more and was very selective to what I put into storage. The final plan is to have everything shipped down to Gilroy which is about 3 hours south of Alameda. The logic behind that decision (it was the mover guy idea) was it cost a whole lot less there (very true) and the mover had to drive the truck back there anyways so why not store my stuff there. These are things I don't need until I finally settle on a place to call home. If and when that happens the mover guy will just load up the truck again and bring everything to me where ever that happens to be. So in less than a week I start the gypsy life with my little grandson Henk in tow. Our first stop is Carmel then off to Tahoe. Wish us luck!
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
