Not The Outhouse

When I was up at the Silver Saddle Ranch the other day I noticed that there were a number of out buildings.... not out houses though.... so I painted one of them. This was not an outhouse.... but I thought I would try to post some outhouse quotes. Wow. Too hard to find outhouse quotes so I posted some bathroom signs for your entertainment  :-)

We used to go around tipping outhouses over,or turning over corn shocks on Halloween.
Anything to be mean.- Loretta Lyn

Well here it is my friends.........

I don't have many cups around here for serving coffee, especially plain colored cups.... so I had to visit the thrift store around the corner. Well I got these. They seem to work OK.  Probably will not service coffee because I don't drink it and there may not be anyone who would drink what I did make  :-)

“An empty coffee cup is full of hope. Now there’s something worth voting for.”

“It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.”  ― Dave Barry

Had a great time at the Silver Saddle Ranch paint out with the Reno-Tahoe plain air painters this week. Painting on location is always fun .... I guess the best part is visiting with the other artists

Caught at the Pool

We all have our thoughts about the swimming pool. I thought I would share some of those with you:

 

 

Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.Esther William

When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for 'Swimming Pool' was kind of a burden. Like, 'OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo,' and I was having problems coping with that image.

When civilization takes a nose dive, how can you look away? You've got to be there. You've got to be at the bottom of the swimming pool taking notes. Gary Shteyngar

Al Pacino -  I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools

Bruce Lee  - If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.

 Warren Buffet  - Only when the tide goes out (really really fast) do you discover who's been swimming naked.

soooo, here she is, swimming at the pool one day
