Texas Sunset

The storm passed by and after the sun started to peek out I took these photos.  It was still drizzling as I took them.  I think the purple, pink, orange, and yellow are outstanding the way they just blend in.

I managed to make a sketch pad and marker holder for the little girl for Christmas.  I made one yesterday but I certainly didn't know what I was doing.  It quickly went into the trash!  So after sleeping on it over night, I figured out what I was doing wrong.  Here are a couple of photos of the finished item.

I went to the doctor today for my checkup results.  Everything came back great.  The only thing that is not so good is the arthritis of the spine.  I told the doc that I could live with that and Aleve.

My girlfriend is still in the hospital after her surgery.  Per her sweetheart, she is doing as well as can be expected.  I haven't talked to her for a week and I miss her voice or is it the constant talking :)  Hope she doesn't read this or I will be in deep trouble!
