The house I'm staying at here in Incline Village is very nice and quite large. It was funny because one of the neighbors has been giving me the evil eye. Found out through the family grapevine he thought the house was being rented as an airbnb, which isn't illegal to do here. With all my family members coming and going on the weekends for the past month I can see why he would think so. The major thing is I don't look anything like Tad and Libby who own the house. My niece's family doesn't look anything like me or them, so I can see why when everyone showed up and all the cars parked in the driveway would make you think it was going to be a party house. The loudest we got was when Henk was being forced to eat dinner when he really wanted to have his bath and go to bed. :)
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
