Canandaigua Lake

Acrylic Paint on Canvas

To purchase, please visit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/189688164/canandaigua-lake-original-acrylic

10% OFF with coupon code JOINTHEFUN

Nestled between hills covered with traditional wineries and family-run B&Bs is Canandaigua Lake.  After a morning in the warm waters, we peruse the village shops on Main Street.  We ended up at the restaurant at the marina watching the courteous boat traffic.  Our lazy journey to Naples seems almost heavenly as we pass roadside fruit stands overlooking the lake.  A great place for a summer day.    

This painting would look best in a space that is deep red, dark orange, navy blue, burgundy red, evergreen, cadmium yellow, purple, beige, black, white, or wood

Michael and the Chocolate Factory Movie...

Got details about what happened on Monday night at Andrea's birthday bash. Yes, I do have a lot of apologies. Although, I seemed to have made lots of new friends and bought them a lot of alcohol. So, sorry and you're welcome to all...

Here's Hillary getting ready to go to the drive-in. "Get in the trunk and shut up!" Haha! Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I don't know. It was alright. It's hard to create a good remake of a classic film. The Planet of the Apes kind of sucked too. It was entertaining though. Maybe if I was 8 years old and didn't know about the original film and grew up watching it over and over; I might like it...




This booth is as yellow as their popcorn butter...


Look at the clouds. I took this right after school and right before I got soaked in the storm. It looks like the clouds from Ghostbusters. Biking in the rain can be fun.

Tonight, I'll be going to a going away party. Hopefully, it will be fun and just slightly sad. We'll see her again. Once a Skee-towner, always a Skee-towner... I don't know what I'll be doing tomorrow other than work. Being a school teacher is tough work. Not necessarily physically, but mentally...
