Introducing the series Road Trip 2007
My cousin and I have traveled life together since we were children. We spent summers on her parents ranch where we ran barefoot in the sun, shared all our secrets and giggled under the covers at night until our mothers told us to hush up and go to sleep. They were still telling us the same thing to our teenage years. And so it continues. She has just returned from a trip to the East Coast, cross country from ocean to ocean and I have "traveled" with her via e-mail and photos. I would like to share her trip with you as she shared it with me. I hope you will enjoy my paintings of the Road Trip With GG as much as I have. Yes, we still share our secrets and giggle into the night. Some things will never change.
I have not been keeping up on my blog and so now I am ready to get busy. Just finished this commission and loved the cat who is no longer with us. It is no surprise to people how much an animal becomes so important to you and your family and so hard to give up.

Years ago in Horse Heaven in Kennewick, Wa. when they harvested the wheat, they put a Cook Shack out next to the fields and the men working were given 3 meals a day. Many times young unmarried women did the cooking and of course they were very popular with the young men. Almost all of the wheat farms provided meals for the workers as the men went from field to field as the wheat ripened. The harvest was done with horses pulling the combines so there was a lot of work to do and it made for long long days.
