A Decade in Review


THE DECADE 

Photo from 2012


Photo from 2019




My first blog post or story on this "blogspot" site was in July, 2010.
(That was 110 posts ago, to be exact!)
That is a crazy long time ago.

For this entire decade, we have made our home here in Puerto Peñasco. 
(Wow! That seems like such a long time.)
For parts of all of those years, I have had my little studio
over there. . . just across the street.
Actually, the Grand Opening was in November 2010.


Some days, it feels like my "office"
as I hurry up to get to work on time! 
But, most of the time, it has been my retreat 
and a great little peaceful haven.

Looking forward to the next decade, 
I hope to expand the property a bit more
as an artsy corner in Peñasco.

my most beautiful and thoughtful designs ever.

OF 110 POSTS IN ALMOST 10 YEARS, ONLY 3 WERE MADE IN 2019.
A SIGN OF THE TIMES, PERHAPS?
More and more, my posts are "short and sweet" photos with #hashtags! 
(Yeah. I even figured those out in the last year or 2).
Looking at the few posts in 2019, I seem to be amazingly concerned with 
how time is flying by... 
So, here we go! 
Off to the beginning of the new Roaring 2020's! 
 My 2019 sentiment remains: 
TIME FLIES
  "She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance a while

She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh then smile

But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you

'Cause time flies."


~ Lyrics Time Flies, Porcupine Tree
