NEW START

It's never too late to start over....

            I have written blogs before but hoping this time it will continue for more than just a few days.  life happens for all of us. 

I have just posted paintings on my website www.jlremy.com and hope everyone reading this will check them out. 


'Night Patrol'
8"x8" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

   I added another owl. I think I could paint these in my sleep!  I must admit that it is very gratifying that people like them as much as I do. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe 4th. We went to my brother and sister-in-loves home and ate way too much. I took a Mexican Shrimp Cocktail that turned out to be a big hit.  

Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

3 ribs finely chopped celery,

1/2 bell peppers any color finely chopped 

1 cucumber seeded and finely chopped

2 chopped tomatoes

chopped pickled jalapenos to taste ( I used 6 sliced pieces out of can)

1/2 medium sweet onion finely chopped

 1 heaping tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro

1/4 cup fresh lime juice 

1 12 oz can V-8 juice

1 cup cold ketchup

1 large avocado chopped

salt and pepper and hot sauce to taste

lots of boiled shrimp

serve cold in a bowl..... I could eat it 3 times a day.

Off to get some painting done....check back for my current projects! (and maybe some more yummy food ideas)

  Masked Country Cousin  My family took vacations together when I was growing up. We would pack up the station wagon and drive....not fly..... to our destination. We stopped by small town gas stations to pee and if none was available my Dad would pull off on the shoulder of the road and open both of the doors on the passenger side and there I would squat and go.  I felt I was completely hidden....little did I know that the doors of the car were higher than my bare butt 😆.  Of course these roads were small country roads and hardly anyone passed us so it really didn't matter anyway. Mom would pack sandwiches that we would stop and eat along the way......no fast food for us ...... we thought  her bologna sandwiches tasted like heaven. We went to Roaring River in Missouri a lot. We loved the Ozarks. We would stay in a cabin by the river because my Dad was a great fisherman and he felt it was his duty to teach us his skills. One of my best memories was when I put my...

Thinking About July  So here's the deal...where did it go??? And what about May and June???? Time really seems to be flying. I got my first Christmas order today and I can tell you it really stunned me to think it's already order time! It doesn't get really cold down here like it gets up north during the winter, but, it is still so hot that it is hard to imagine we are heading toward the Holiday time of the year. Lisa and I went to Galveston for lunch yesterday. After a great fajita lunch at Salsa's we headed to West Beach to walk a little. The wind was so hot that we didn't make it far. We decided to come back on a cooler day....maybe one with a little cloud cover. The heat didn't seem to stop the masses from their beach vacations....tons of people and their kids and dogs were in the water. I saw a lot of sunburned faces !! A good day to sit inside in the air conditioning and watch the waves through a window. 'Crabby Morning' 10"x 8" acrylic o...

  Paradise Our home is built on an acre. The number of critters that roam across our domain is remarkable. The town we live in is a bird sanctuary so there are always bunches of birds, but beyond that there are lots of different creatures. Some of them are just passing through, some are permanent residents. Yesterday I posted a couple of raccoons and I will try to post more of our locals over the next few days.  We have tons of squirrels. Several years ago we had a guest the brought her pet flying squirrel over to show us. She was in the back yard walking around with the little guy in her pocket when he suddenly escaped and ran up a nearby palm tree. She of course couldn't catch him and we thought we had seen the last of him. Almost a decade later, we had our tall palm trees trimmed. As the fronds fell to the ground there was a flurry of flying squirrels soaring from the palms to the nearby oak trees. At first we thought they were bats.....which also live in the tall palms.......
