“Sing like no one’s listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching, and live like its heaven on earth.” ~Mark Twain

The ladies at Shady Acres Estate got quite a thrill when Reginald, feeling far less than his 75 years, got up and did the Lambada in the community dining room. The other fellas in the crowd were far less amused.  Did Reggie care…. Heck no! He had a full dance card!

Ruby Gets Color


I thought it might be interesting to show how Ruby went from sketch to finished illustration. This is will be one of the color examples in my book dummy. I’ve got quite a few more pages to go, so…. back to work!

Savour your time together!

Ruby and Phil were soul mates.
She loved his incredible stories.
He loved her contagious laughter.
And on the dance floor, they were smokin!
Proving with out a doubt… that you’re never to old to Tango!

“You’ll seldom experience regret for anything that you’ve done. It is what you haven’t done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it.”    _ Wayne Dyer

Illustration Friday ~ Racing


Hazel always lived by the adage that “Life is short and time is fleeting.”

And… when she took up motor cross, all of her friends back at Shady Acres Retirement Center thought she was a few pecans short of a fruitcake….

that is until she won first place in the Senior’s Division!!

When I saw the theme “racing” I brought this little charmer of a lady back from the vault.
She seemed to fit so perfectly and after all, it’s always good to be reminded to stay young at  heart!
