Rigel finally got that new tattoo!! She says this: "For way over a year, I've been saying that I'd get a tattoo for my 40th birthday (12/31/12). I did it! I got my first tattoo on 12/28. It's made up of my 3 favorite colors: green, purple, and teal. It says Bibliophilia Autrice-Artiste de la Mer. The first green word is the Greek for "Love of Books." The hyphenated, purple middle words are the feminine French for "Author-Artist." The teal portion at the end is French for "of the Sea." I finally decided on this based off a conversation here on this blog and during private emails afterward with Barbara. The colors make me happy, and the words are to be a reminder to be true to myself and bravely adventurous as I head into the not-young-anymore part of my life. I suspect this will not remain my only tattoo for long." The other two shots are Christmas with her Kiddo!:
Shalaka sent these in this morning. The first is of her hosting a show in college; the other two are gorgeous digital art pieces she created. Wow!:
Shalaka just added these from her past. Too cute:
Dawn sent us these today. Her tattoo, her and a Toronto-based friend and her beautiful daughter Sarah:
Jo sent these of her and her handsome and talented son Odin and the Christmas Buddha!:
Today is Saturday, and we have some more shots!
This is from Kasku who lives in Finland. A Finnish pancake, a coffee from the ubiquitous Tim Hortons when she visited here this last year, as well as a flight over Iceland and a sunset from the Elkhorn Resort in Manitoba:
And Samara sent these in (after many issues between our emails!). This is her first cutie-pie, her beautiful belly, pregnant with number 2, and one of her amazing paintings:
After trying so many times, with either her side not working or mine, Linda was finally able to send some pix through!! These are of her parents, both of whom are struggling with illness: her mother has bone marrow cancer and her father's stroke has left him with dementia (although not bedridden!). But they rally on as a close-knit family. Christmas tables and celebrations abound:
Hannah--who is travelling through Central America with her sister--managed to send us some glorious shots of their adventures. Thanks, Hannah, you brought back some great memories of our trip to Costa Rica!
Thank you, everyone!! If you send anymore photos over night or over the weekend, we'll try to get them up as soon as we have time. xo
