Doing a WHOLE LOT of catching up on posting . . . . .

Here are two of the herd at Paradise Found. I think they are both Alpacas, but I really don't know. They are just both sweet and have big eyes with 
LONG lashes . . . 

. . . and here are two of the kitties from the WAIF Cat Adoption Center in Oak Harbor. 

Long Beach Fun

During a trip to Long Beach WA last week, Sue, Barb and I spent a couple of warm, lively, beautiful food, wine and animal filled evenings with dear friends Brian and Renee O'Connor in their gorgeous, art filled, creative home on Willapa Bay. Renee of Willapa Bay Tile Co, and Brian, amazing musician, entertained us warmly while Barb supplied all of the delicious whole foods plant based meals. Renee had collected the leaves from their pear tree and placed them on the kitchen island. Jaco, the cat (I spelled his name wrong in the sketch) was content on the stool next to me while Brian was playing his heart out. Of course there was a fire in the fireplace. A perfect evening.
