wish come true

I remember two wishes I had as a six year old: longer hair and a sun dress. Both of those came true. The longer hair was just a matter of time. My mother made me a sun dress which I loved and can remember quite vividly.

Some current wishes I have: to own a house and have some cats and dogs. Like my first wish of longer hair, it is just a matter of time until these wishes come true.

One wish that came true recently was to have a place with a great view and plenty of light where I could do my art. The rental house I am in now has two stories with large windows on both floors that face the woods. My art space is upstairs and I spend the mornings reading and watching the trees and all the life that inhabits them.

Afternoons are for art when the light hits perfectly on my art tables. And no matter what the season is, the view is entrancing. So while I wait for that someday to come when I own a house and have some pets, I am grateful for what I can enjoy now.

Sweetest musings and sweetest dreams, Juana... LOVE those BIG windows! I once dreamed of a place by the sea and a room for creativity to bloom. Happily both dreams came true. :o) Wishing you even more dreams come true--especially the critters!! ((HUGS))

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
