Week 9: Wave (November 23, 2012 - Black Friday)

[Wright's Beach, Sonoma County, Northern CA]

Mom and Dad's Farewell Road Trip

Just finishing my INKTOBER 52 Week 9 : Wave drawing. Sentimental. I think I’ll use this illustration in my memoir story that I wrote about this day, “Saying Goodbye To A Lost Loved One”. It was written as a writing class exercise 2 years ago, about the day my family scattered our parents’ ashes at Wright’s Beach, a family favorite spot growing up.

Week 5: Balloon (1/30 - 2/08)

Balloons are always festive. We usually celebrate birthdays with balloons. Here's a balloon bouquet for my sister Nancy, celebrating her birthday this week! Happy birthday Nancy with love from Twerp and your Sister Gulls

Week 6: Hammer

I was always intrigued by Dad's impressive display of tools on his work bench in our garage. Everything you could possibly need was at your fintertips from nails and screws in different sizes all in glass jars that screwed to the underside of a shelf, to saws, screwdrivers, wrenches and hammers. I could build almost anything my childish heart desired or imagined. And I often did!

Week 4: Snake (01/23-01/29)

Meet Sneaky Snake. He is the star of Larry's children's story about "Sneaky's Day Out".

Week 3: Brick

Three doors down, on the corner, lived "the Major", a retired WWII Veteran. From the day he moved in, he bricked over every bit of ground on his property and planted low maintenance shrubbery.

The Three Gulls loved to walk on the brick outer wall - it was just wide enough for our bare feet to pretend we were walking a tightrope in a circus.

We dreaded hearing him yell at us, "GET OFF MY BRICK!!"

Not unlike Clint Eastwood's "Get off my lawn!" only, thankfully, no shot gun was involved.

Week #2 - Shadow

The three Gulls and Twerp 1959 and 2020.

We are just a shadow of ourselves.

DAY 21: TREASURE

All caught up my friends... I’m getting hungry... X marks the spot! Gotta travel a loooong way to get my Animal Style Burger n fries from In-N-Out!

DAY 22: GHOST

DAY 11: SNOW

Today’s prompt is Snow. Taking a trip in the Wayback Machine to capture Michelle’s first experience with snow. We’d driven for hours to only find patches of unmelted snow beside the road in the mountains. December 1969.

DAY 12: DRAGON

Inktober 2019 - Created by Jake Parker

Somehow I came across this great and fantastic site called Inktober and decided to join. Received the list in mid-September, so I had time to think things out a bit.
