My father turned the very big nine-0 yesterday so I’ve been in South Texas spending time with him and other family members. So far it’s primarily just been a time of enjoying hanging out together. Today I had my first opportunity to watch my niece (who lives in Pennsylvania and came down to see her grandfather) at gymnastics practice. I did some doodle-like sketches while she and two other girls were stretching (below).

Below: Some of our other activities.

Snoopy’s???? It is, isn’t it? Oh god I could eat some Fish ‘n Chips just about now.
Happy Birthday to your dad! Congratulations on the big 9-0 !!
Thanks, Jazz! Yes, it is indeed Snoopy’s’ fish n’ chips. I’m ashamed to tell you I’ve had that platter 3 days in a row. : ]
What amazing body contortions. I just LOVE your sketches!
Snoopy’s…it’s well worth it! C’mon Paula, go for the full three weeks of your stay, and enjoy a plate for me! Happy Birthday to dad! What are the temps there?, Padre Island looks quite bare…or is that Malaquite?
Those are great Paula!
