Halloween Panda!

Halloween Panda!, originally uploaded by A-T-G.

I don't tend to dress up my kitties for Holidays. Piccolo, however, had other ideas! She jumped up as I was making a fall colored paper chain and I jumped at the chance to snap a pic!

She's a natural and the camera loves her!

SOTD: Henry VIII

This one is from a vintage shop. It's a non label scarf with a fantastic pic of Henry VIII. I tend to wear this one knotted as a necklace as the scarf itself is pretty banged up.

Here's the scarf unfolded (and unwrinkled!)

About a week after Disneyland & LA., I flew out to NY for a wedding - one of my sisters. She got married at a tiny B&B in upstate NY.

Travels pt. 6 - DISNEYLAND!

After spending a weekend in LA. Jeff headed back home. My sister and I continued on our journey south to DISNEYLAND!


The Tiki Room is a favorite!


We even had our faces painted! I've always wanted to do that but, never did it as a child. Hard to justify painting your face outside of Halloween! She suggested and I jumped on it. I think we look fabulous!

Travels Pt. 6 - Los Angeles

In front of the famous theater, originally uploaded by A-T-G.

About a week after the trip to Seattle, Jeff and I met up with one of my sisters (from Vegas) in LA. She'd never done the "Tourist" bit, so we hit the town!
