Happy Anniversary for Yesterday Mama and Papa!!

Yesterday was my parents 37 year anniversary! Always, as
a child, I LOVED looking at all these pictures. These are from
back when my parents were falling in love, no children and
the world was theirs! It's not just that they were young that
makes these pictures glow, it is their Love for each other.

My father has always loved taking pictures, these are
their memories forever caught on film...

San Francisco, 1970's

I LOVE this picture!

My Mama makes my Papa smile like this today!

The first time my Papa went to Michigan to meet his
in-laws. This is my Uncle Dick, my Aunt Amy (my Grandpa's
sister), my Grandma Donna, and my Grandpa Chuck- my
Grandma used to call him that.

Happy Anniversary Mama and Papa! I love how your
Love is still stronger than ever! You both are the perfect
examples to me of Love and Caring. I love you both and
I hope you enjoy these photos! More to come!

My Mural Painting up at Cal State Hayward (East Bay)

Monday I went up to Cal State to get some items I donated to
the Anthropology museum long ago. I took some quick pictures
of the murals I painted for my Anthropology professor, just
outside the Anthropology Department. Someone had already
started this one but I had to paint it and redraw a lot of the lines.
I like how I used many different shades of green.....Look at the
Ancient Astronaut- ness of the statue design....
This is an Incan relief portrait.

Here is my color replica of Coatlicue, the Aztec Goddess
who is the "Mother of All," she gave birth to all things- all
Gods and Goddesses, the Moon, the Stars, the Sun. Her
head is a double serpent, both looking at each other so that
both eyes look like they are looking strait ahead. She
wears a skirt of snake and a necklace of human hearts and
hands. Saila was pretty amazed.....this painting is big!

There is a half moon off to the left of the picture.....
I painted the entire outline and then only filled in half.
She liked to be out in the heavens and among the stars.
