22 Jan--Madi's Cats

Sun, 22 Jan cat feeding the morning. Manuel had another job to do, so he couldn't help us today; maybe tomorrow; hopefully tomorrow. so i was going to do some projects; but i was kind of on a roll with my painting, so i decided to paint today. i put the fixitive on the scarf, this sets the dye so it doesn't rinse out and fade and is washable. so, ..... i have officially finished ONE scarf. YEAH ! ... it's a copy of the one i have at my house ... turtles ... :) ... except it has "Belize" written on it in 3 places for the tourists ( i hope ) i also started a third scarf today. Eddi and i talked a bit about price, marketing strategy, etc. ... well not in that detail; ...but she will be checking out the artwork on the island and noting prices. the place that i thought we might be able to sell them for us ... declined :( at one point in the early afternoon, i took a break and photographed Madi's Mom. she rakes the leaves every day .. all day ... she has job security ! ...... she is so sweet ... she says she is Sweet 16. some of the cats: this is Ojitos ... he only has one eye :( Munchkins ... one of my favorites ... his ears are crinkled and his face is all scarred up; and he has such a pitiful look on his face .. gotta love him ! i think Snowy is one of the most beautiful cats anywhere ! if she looks certain ways, she is cross-eyed i couldn't stop taking pictures of her ... she was being so cooperative, just posing there ! this is Flower ... it's such a rough life at Madi's ... and Joy (or is that Pride?) is having an unusually stressful day, as you can see Sheba woke up long enough to yawn and she was a little put out that i woke her at 4:00pm, i emerged from my room, did the evening feeding of the cats, took a shower, and heard my name being called. Eddi and Alex were outside laughing and telling stories. i laughed til i cried; Alex is very entertaining! went to The Enjoy Bar for .... hummmmmmm, grilled lobster :)
