Picaresque

Picaresque is the adjective to describe writings about a common or low character who survives the pitfalls of life through luck or good fortune. My travels, interests, my animals, my photographs, my wonderful friends and family are featured.

Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Beautiful Babies

Sue had a surprise. The llama they received this spring was keeping a secret. The secret was revealed this week. A beautiful baby girl llama entered the world. She is the color of her daddy, Pete, the rascal, who lives in the pasture below my house. As this is late in the season, that dark wool will be helpful in keeping warm this winter. They also have a barn. Sue's picture- a birth announcement came by email. She will have fun with this little girl. In a week or two she will be scampering-running for the thrill of it and so will the baby llama. (joke, Sue, though if you take to scampering in the pasture give a call- that is one picture I would love to take.)

Kids like to dress up. Audrey, my granddaughter, decided this was the outfit she wanted. The outfit was lovingly knitted for her while she was still in the oven. Old favorites are still favorites and she is so pleased with being in the height of fashion with her bare tummy and pink tenny-runners and matching chapeau. Grandma Eve is her partner in crime and cheerleader, snapping this photograph and, happily, emailing it to Grampie. Digital photographs are the best!
