(Continued)

This is kind of the middle of something in progress for a specific assignment.  It was made first with drawings and working them over in the computer, some were drawn in the computer, and then taking photos of the little mannequins and other stuff with my digital camera and then doing different things with them in the computer.  And then putting them all together into a digital collage.  For the final versions, I am working over this one and another collage with Prismacolor and they are a lot prettier in their final form. This one is called "Running Out of Time."  I like the other version better but I just discovered that my computer scrambled the file when I transferred it to a storage CD.  I do have a couple of print-outs and the final print out.  I'd show you some other stuff but it scrambled all the files... nearly all of my computer art work for this semester (SIGH!)  Luckily, most of it has already been graded and one of my instructors also has copies of some of the best ones.  Life goes on... LOLOLOL!!!

This is something else I thought you might like to see.  I was invited to have Easter dinner at the home of some friends and I made this vegetable sculpture/arrangement to take there.  All of it is edible and I made dip to go with it.  It is made of cherry tomatoes, green onions, daikon radishes, broccoli and cauliflower florets, teensy carrots, cherry tomatoes, bok choy, Italian parsley, red and yellow peppers.  This is based on something I saw on TV but I decided to make mine in a watermelon to continue the "edible" theme. It was really a lot of fun and I'll be glad to tell you how to do it  if you'd like to know (I learned a LOT in the process... LOL!!!)

This is something I don't normally do on these pages, but it is something dear to my Quaker heart...

HELP NEEDED! F/friend Tony Baldwin of the New London Friends Meeting in Waterford, Connecticut, has mounted an effort to save and repair a piece of history  — the New London Friends Meetinghouse.  You can see a photo of the Meetinghouse at that link.  This is a very small, unprogrammed meeting with limited resources and the Meetinghouse needs over $60,000 worth of repairs.  It would be a great loss to Quakers and to history in general to lose this wonderful structure.  Tony is an artist and has made some nice things that are being sold to raise funds.  For a very reasonable price, starting at $5, you can get something nice for yourself and/or other f/Friends and help the Meeting at the same time.  Please click on the banner below to see what nice things are offered there. And please share his site with everyone you know!  Peace is important.  This building is important.  History is important. And so is loving and helping our f/Friends.

Well, that was the end of the pictures this time.  Sure was fun sharing them with you all and we hope to have YOU with us next time!

The "NEXT" button below will take you back to the beginning of this section of luncheon pictures.

This link will take you to the SeniorNet (Web) Newsletter from SeniorNet on the web.  Char works really hard on this site and you will find a lot of fun stuff there, including lots of photos of people from all over the world who chat in the ChatterBox.

VistaGal's site is always very nice and very well done. VistaGal's Seniors Photo Gallery

Another great site to visit for pictures of senior gatherings is  Warren88's site.  Warren is one of the best cheerleaders for gatherings you ever saw.  He and his wife, Roberta, winter in Mesa, AZ, and summer in Rockford, IL, and he sure keeps the seniors entertained a lot in both locations, with luncheons, breakfasts, and all sorts of fun. Warren's site includes pictures of chatters from SeniorNet, Sixty Is Something, AARP, and others and he loves meeting new friends.

And still another great site is Marilyn's Place, which has hundreds of pictures of AARP chatters, gatherings, etc.  That link is to her alphabetical index of photos.

If you have other great sites for pictures of our senior pals, give me a holler!  I'd love to be able to share them here.
