Grand Slam Saturday

Last night Marie had a hankering for a Grand Slam so we made our way to Denny's for dinner. First time being back in a restaurant for sit-down dinner since the onslaught of the pandemic. Restaurant was quiet, booths were double-cleaned, silverware wrapped in paper, and condiments including salt abs pepper were distributed in disposable containers.

Grand Slams hit the spot! Decided to visit Jordan and Candy to check up on their menagerie of arachnids and reptiles or what they refer to as pets.

At this point they have about ten tarantulas and two snakes along with a healthy food supply of mice. Jim and Contessa, the snakes, were friendly, curious, and harmless.  Looked but didn't touch the spiders.  

This morning slept in then after coffee decided it was a laundry and painting day. Changed into my painting overalls (yes, now have acrylic couture to accompany my creative process), and did two 18 x 24 acrylic pours.  The first was to create one focused on the colors of an African violet. The second was to create a new painting on top of a previous wreck of a painting.

Before Wreck

Have to say both turned out acceptable.  Love, love, love the violet picture. The redo is much better than how it started but not perfect.  Then again, what is??  They almost fit together as if one is sunrise and the other is sinset.

Romeo aka Romy aka Brute aka Trump was in rare form today, more than likely due to a snackie of  catnip.
