It’s St Patrick’s Day….again. LOL It feels like St Patrick’s Day is Groundhog Day. Later on today I will be cooking my traditional meal. And I’ll make Irish soda bread and Irish Potatoes (candy). I grew up in Philadelphia and we always had Irish potato candy around St Patrick’s Day. Every candy shop carried them.Continue reading “Happy St Patrick’s Day”

He’s an explorer of the city and knows allContinue reading “Imaginary Dogs”

I won’t bore you with that. Plus, you’ll see theContinue reading “AEDM Day 9 – It’s all about Process”

Another AA5 sketch

I did this in Gallo yesterday evening. Added the kitty. The couple were AA5 newbies so we gave them a quick overview. They were nice people saw them in the crowd later. John and I were sandbagged by our local library to dress up for this photo. This is what happens when you make friendsContinue reading “Another AA5 sketch”
