55 Flash Fiction Friday

I have a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow and we are attending Baz's first art class in the morning, so I did my 55 a day early. Instead of using a picture I found, I decided to use a picture I drew myself using oil pastels. It is my favorite work of art by my favorite artist. Enjoy


The town settled down for the night, turning out their oil lamps one by one. Securing the doors with wood planks in hopes not to hear the claws of the beast scratching against oak doors. Many prayers were said before slipping under the sheets. After all they were safe tonight, the moon was not full.

Down by the Sea!

We went to Peter Pipers Saturday, it's a poor man's Chuck E Cheese. If you feel like it you can look at Art's blog.











We took a long walk on a short Pier. Santa Monica Pier that is.












Mmmmmm, funnel cake.







Beep beep, here comes the pier patrol.

55 Flash Fiction Friday

He carefuly arranges the sunflowers in a golden vase, posistioning them just so to capture their individual beauty. He sits back, paintbrush in hand, blank canvas in front of him. A rainbow of paints in front of him. He mixes various yellows and bronzes together. Vincent tugs at the bandages on his ear very gently.

Do you like Salmon?

Do you like Salmon? I know this kitty does.











Baz is looking for fishies in the bowl of water. Here fishy, fishy, fishy!









Baz likes Salmon too.

Kitties and more kitties

I am participating with the ongoing theme of kitties on my family member's blogs. For more kitties check out Artax, Susie and Adeleigh's blogs.

Hollywierd

We ventured out to Hollywierd Blvd. on Sunday to see the Walk of fame and visit the Hollywood wax museum. I am enjoying personal time with my favorite star (below). There were more children there than I thought there would be. Along the way I spotted interesting people and museums. I tallied certain things that caught my attention.

55 Flash Fiction Friday

The wizard said that the life saving elixir can only be made from the crushed blossoms of the scarlett branched tree. The wood pixie carried on through the forest, searching throught the leaves for a sign of the brightly colored branch. She spotted the tree and eagerly flew toward it. The branches were left barren.

Party Time!

We had another fun filled weekend! We attended a quincenera on Saturday. For those of you who don't live in the valley and may not know, it's a Hispanic sweet fifteen party for young ladies to celebrate their becoming a woman. The party is huge like a wedding, and just as expensive. There is a waltz involved with 15 couples and the birthday girl, and now a days the girls are doing hoochie dances as well. We had to leave early due to load rumbling music blaring from the speakers that would have caused young Baz to loose his sense of hearing.

We then spent Sunday afternoon at a crowded Chuck E Cheese. Baz thoroughly enjoyed himself

55 Flash Fiction Friday

A stupid grin on her face, petting whiskers, looking content, but actually trying to block out all the stupidity that he imposes on her. All she hears is "Blah blah". She is actually thinking of which drab, brown dress she will wear tomorrow. "Shall I wear my hair up, the weather might be warm?"

Temple Thursday

STP's frontman, Scott Weiland can't compare to Baz's mowhawk.

Western Heritage?

We went to the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum last weekend. It was the most modern museum I have ever been to. The "artifacts" were about 150 years old, at the oldest. There were exhibits from western TV shows and movies. The actual boots Kevin Costner wore in Dances with wolves! Wow, how historical... not! I though it was rather twisted that there were Native American artifacts there. Our forefathers took their land away. How dare that museum display Native American stuff and Cowboy stuff in adjacent exhibits. Besides that, the museum was pretty neat. Baz actually enjoyed it.
