Caught between a hoof and a trunk on Election Day

I voted, although I’m not sure I really liked any of my choices for leaders. Propositions? Equally as difficult, except for 21. Yes to save California State Parks!

For the next year, this blog is dedicated to my mother, Barbara.

The bird on this blog

My mother passed away in the last hours of 2016. Sometimes when life hurts too much, I need to write and share. This year, that's what I'm doing. I'm warning you, at least for the foreseeable future, this blog will be about loss and how to deal with it.

If you want happiness, painting tips, and pleasant nattering, visit my website, www.Margaretsloan.com. I promise, there won't be a lot of sadness there.
