The End

 
Well the end of 29 faces, and the end of this blog has come.  Its time for
me to move on and do other things.  I have loved doing the blog, for the past
9 years.  But the end has come, I am going to keep the blog open
because sometimes you need a blog to do things.  So I will
still have a presence on Instagram  https://instagram.com/leekrek/   , and facebook   https://www.facebook.com/lee.brydges, if you
want to still talk to me, or see my art.  So for now
its goodbye, thanks for all the great years.
and heres my email pat54lee@yahoo.ca

Day 26 Lou Lou

 
sometimes she liked having a long neck, especially when
she went to concerts , she had a great view.
 
|Well its almost over, am I sad a little bit, but glad to go on
to other things.  29 days of making faces is hard.
 
Fall is here especially where I live, the wind is blowing the leaves, and
we already have had the heat and the fireplace on.  I have decided to
make some fall goals, usually its new years, but I am changing it up this year
has a whole blog post plus links of people who joined in, alas I was
a little late to the party.  So I decided to do my own.
 
I know you have heard me lament my weight before, how I am
going to lose it etc.  Well I have taken it down a little and decided on
small steps.  By Christmas I would like to be down 20 lbs.  Small
but doable.
 
I go swimming daily, but I could take it up a notch.  I have
gotten into a routine and only do one thing.  So I am going to
switch up the exercise.  One day water walk, one day, swim laps etc.
 
I am a big big reader.  I love to read, I read a lot online, I get the books
from the library online, and read at night. But I tend to overlook
the other person in the room, and get to involved in reading, and ignore
the hubster.  So I have decided to read a little during the day, and some
before bed.
 
I have been wanting to sell some of my art.  I have found a place to
make good prints, I have joined Instagram, I still post daily\
on this blog, but still not getting a lot of readers.   Fridays I have
instituted Tuts and Videos, etc in hopes of getting
more people interested in my art.  I have submitted my
are to magazines etc.  I was going to give it all up,.
clean the art room, and forget about it.  But I have
decided to try again for another year.  Its not about the money
for me, its about the art, so I have decided that I am
going to give my art to family and friends, whether they
want it or not (lol)
Okay that's enough for today more on goals on Sunday
talk to you then.

I have been down for the count for the last couple of days
I think I have the flu  I have not had the flu for years.  But
I feel all achy, and no energy, and other things you don't want
to hear about.  But I have some great news , my daughter
got engaged last Saturday in Disneyland, it was a
surprise.  I am so happy for them, I just think the finance (aka the boyfriend)
is wonderful.  They have been together for about 7 years, 5 of them living together.  So\
I guess they know each other pretty well.  So I don't know when the wedding is
I think its next year.  You will be the second to know once I find out.
Okay enough about me, heres why you really came some vids, slim
pickings, is no one using youtube anymore, come on people. we love
