Here's a picture of our little darlings, Cutie Pye and Opie, in their big dog bed. They were always fighting over the bed until I added two separate cat beds on top. Now they can sleep together, but each have their own space, so they are as happy as two peas in a pod. No matter where he sleeps, Opie always has one or more arms hanging over the edge.

Have a nice night and I'll see you back here tomorrow

if my creative muse is willing!

Thanks for your friendship and for stopping by!

Your emails, pep talks and comments are

Mare In Moonlight ~ SOLD

I've been very distracted from painting this past week. Last Friday afternoon, without any warning, my dear husband, Jerry, unexpectedly lost the sight of his right eye. He was just finishing up a job at the Borgata Casino Health Club in Atlantic City when his right eye went totally black / blind. He drove home, then I took him to the Hospital. His blood pressure was sky high and they thought he may have had a mini stroke. He never had high blood pressure before. After extensive testing, they still didn't know what was going on, so they took him to Will's Eye Hospital in Philadelphia for more tests. Basically, what they said was, Jerry had a stroke of the eye. We were at Wills Eye Hospital Retina Center all day on Monday for more tests. The doctors at Wills were very discouraging and said the loss of sight would most likely be permanent. I refuse to believe it though. On Friday, when it happened, the eye was totally black and each day, Jerry is starting to see more. Today he said he 'sorta sees' colors, so I believe that the doctor was wrong and he can recover his sight. Now our main cercern is getting his blood pressure under control so it doesn't blow out the other eye.

last night and appreciate it?" ~ Sandy Miller
