Goodbye & kittens

Goodbye & kittens Jul 13, ‘08 11:08 PM
for everyone
Today I met John & Rodger for lunch. Sally, Paul, & her sister Julie joined us. We ate at Jalisco’s. It was a short lunch since I had to work today.

Rodger’s last day at the Red Barn was yesterday. We had planned to have a while to visit before he took off, but a tour group came in. So we said our goodbye’s earlier than planned.
My tour was a great group. A friend from McPherson, John, brought in a couple of people. John is in charge of the Opera House there & these people have been brought in to help with the restoration of it. It is such a joy to give a tour to people who are interested in what I say, in art, in the artist. They asked a lot of questions. It was a delight.
Our weather was gorgeous today. Not too hot, light breeze, low humidity. I came home & sat outside. The kittens have decided that the porch is their new home. They are still a bit skittish of me but they sat near me. Then later the one let me pet her. They are so adorable.
Jo just has no brains!! I watched her stalk a dove. Yea, like that went well!! And she played with her ‘toys’ —- a twig, a log, & a large dried cow patty. 

Be well, do good work, keep in touch!

for everyone
The rules for Mono Mon are pretty simple.Well I hope they are anyways. these are the steps and guidlines and are subject to change as we work the kinks out of this. This is the page to post your link after you have your end results. 

1.   Choose your color image (one only) 

2.   Do your conversion to one of three types that will be accepted Black and White, Sepia ,”Sepia Example” Or 
      Black and White with a single hand painted (digitally painted) color. See ”Hand Painted ”  

3    Take notes on what processes and steps, programs used, anything that contributed   in
      making the final image.

4.   Write your blog. when finished and happy with it bring it to this page and post your link      
      only (no images) Also things to remember is to keep your title as short as possible long
      long links tend to wreck the right rail allingment on the owners pages.

5.   After link is posted start visiting and seeing all the wonderful shots  and
       techniques being shared.

6.   Posting will close on Tuesday so we can all ready ourselves for “Picture Perfect Friday”
