This is only a sample of the drawings mom worked on feverishly to distract from the pain of seemingly relentless migraines. Being one of the worst headache months in memory, she will be starting medication to - hopefully - lessen the frequency and intensity of them. We wonder what the drawings will look like THEN: probably she won't be drawing because she'll be outside doing fun stuff, playing with us more, and draw blue things, which are calmer. We shall see! She takes them
to her neurologist to illustrate the "visual auras" and he is putting them on his website. He invited mom to speak to his migraine group up in a town too far for her to drive so she couldn't.

When she took these and a few others to ARTISANS GALLERY yesterday, she saw some of her cards in their window! The owner, Rick, does an amazing job constantly changing up the gallery so going in is always a surprise. Next Friday Night will the another First Friday ARTWALK and last month they featured chocolate-covered-fried-bacon as an appetizer: Shiver me timbers! 
WHAT A VEGAN-ACK! (glad mom didn't see it...porkZ made from pigZ)


On a more cheerful note:GREAT NEWS FOR GUINEA BELLINGHAMSTERZ!
Today is cage-cleaning day which means Runabouts on the $6 (not authentic) Persian Rug she bought from a neighbor because it's soft and cushy and the colors match our pee and poo so perfectly our "refuse" will only add to rich tapestry of it's beauty! (That's our story and we're sticking TO IT!)

This weekend we are predicted to break 80 degrees, so as we approach September and the beginning of snow up in the mountains where it never melted from last year, mom hopes to get out and spend time by, if not ON, the water "getting" our few days of summer...NO COMPLAINTS, though, considering how much the rest of the country has suffered from heat, drought, and storms...Nooooo Complaints!

We have also been watching Hurricane Irene with prayers for all our near and dear ones up and down the East Coast...mom emailed our "Special Sister" in Savannah, GA (back "home") but has not heard back so we hope they are all safe. We hope EVERYONE remains safe and has everything needed to remain comfortable as the storm pushes N.E. especially our friend, Jerry, camping on an island off the Maine Coast, whom we have called yet not heard from yet. Windstorms with gusts up to 110 are not uncommon here in November, and mom grew up in Savannah and Tybee Island, so we knows them storms can give a whoopin'!

PLEASE STAY SAFE AND KEEP US ALL IN THE LOOP!

Love,

SQUEEEEE! WE GET TO PEE AND POO ON THE NEW RUG!

YumYum, of course!
