What is everyone doing over the long weekend?

We are going up to the lake with the rest of the family and some friends. We have cabins rented on the lake. We have some speed boats, pantoon boats, bass fishing boats, and some ski-doos.

I am a little scared about all the food/drinks that will be there, my family really does love to eat/drink. So, I am going to really have to watch myself! We have lots of good cooks in this family! But I do intend on having a good time!

Here are a couple of pix from the ferry ride and drive up to visit my family (Moderators, please work your magic!). The first pix is a view of Whidbey and Camano islands, the second is a shot driving up the island (Whidbey) and the third pix is Spudboy and Ayla

Great pictures!!! Thanks for sharing!!! And you're a very gifted artist too!!!

Great pictures Crystal! I second that, you are a good artist!

Thanks for you kind words, but I think everybody is an artist, it may be that they haven't found their media yet. I've just started to teach myself how to draw, I found a great children's art book and have been working out of that.

Spud teases me that it's not art, it's just a bunch of squares (his running joke about my art.) He calls this one "sticks and string" even though that is clearly a garden hose. Hopefully, now that I've done this, I can move on. You should have seen me in my rubber duck period... Picaso never had a rubber duck period...

I can't draw anthing! Nope, nuttin!

Paula - Those cabins are on Cypress Lake, up in Scroggins, Tx.

people who can draw only make up one little fraction of artists. Dancers, writers, painters, photographers, sculpters, gardeners and cooks are only a small portion of artists.

Anything you love to do, be it a traditional fine art, a craft or your avocation can be an artform.

I still crack up everytime you call him Spudboy. Poor kid being raised by wild dogs!

Correction Lisa, he's been raised by a pack of wild dogs, I was raised by wolves.
