Nocturnal Kitty

John dragged me out of the house this evening. Still groggy from this cold or whatever sinus thing I am getting over. So annoying. All I want to do is nap and cough. A friend reminded me of the benefits of tea and that’s been helping the cough. One thing about being a dedicated sketcher.Continue reading “Nocturnal Kitty”

Kitty #125

Yes! That is correct! I counted and recounted a few days ago. I waited for today’s kitty to celebrate! It’s only 2 days short of our village’s 125th anniversary so it couldn’t have been timed better. I chose the Brick House Brewery (BHB) for today’s sketch because they are in the oldest business building inContinue reading “Kitty #125”

Got Milk?

Today was the ribbon cutting grand opening for the Coffee Bean. John and I went over to get coffee and hang out for the festivities. Plus this weekend, Patchogue is celebrating it’s 125th anniversary. So we hung around for that, too. Kitty made an appearance. She was standing in line for milk.

My father-in-law is 89 years old and still works at the local boat ramp. He works because he wants to, it keeps him busy and active. This is the hut where he spends his working hours. It has A/C for those hot days. I sketched it this evening when I was out with my localContinue reading “The Dockmaster”

Kitty in coach class

My daughter was home for a week. On her travel day today, she received an email that her connecting flight was canceled. Now her seat assignment was in question and she envisioned that she would be in this very situation flying home. Fortunately, she was able to get an aisle seat and the flight homeContinue reading “Kitty in coach class”
