Elise's Story

Life I met my husband on a blind date. I got married for the first time at 42; statistically speaking, at the time I had a better chance of being killed by a terrorist. We've been married for twenty-five years now, so we've beaten the odds there too. My Pets I was raised by cats and speak the language fluently. We have only one right now; her name is Magnificat. My Kids I married the children. There are four of them. I also have two granddaughters, both of whom are adorable and one great grandson. My Job I just retired on April 1, 2011. I chose that date on purpose. Now I can spend my time on art. School I went through school doing as much of my own thing and as little of the...Expand for more
regular thing as I could quietly get away with. I'm not sure that anyone noticed. College I came alive in college when for the first time I could take what I wanted, when I wanted it, and from the teacher I chose, instead of the one the school chose for me. It was heaven. I tried everything that interested me. Workplace I've done a lot of jobs that have little or no connection with each other: taught school, worked in a library, worked in a violin shop, and then fell into accounting and finance. If I had it to do over, I'd prefer to be an artist. I'm getting there on the latter. It's ironic that I made my living with math, since it was the subject I purely despised in school.

Would you believe this is an improvement? It actually is!
My bed is hers. I don’t know what I did yesterday, but after errands, both cats climbed all over me, sniffing intently. But they still don’t want petting.
The beavers have built a second home by the side of the pond. This one isn’t far from a path. Silly beasts!
The two have found a new favorite place.

Another chimera for the collection: a book I just read had a strange little animal they called a “ratmunk.”

Started today.
Done, I think.
Doing warm up sketches of my grandson, preparing for a pastel. Babies are not my long suit.
