May I introduce you to...

Christine & George from Tuscon, Arizona.
Mr George has been declared the world's tallest dog!
My dear Grandma used to have a great dane, but not as humongous as Mr George here...
at 7 feet & 3 inches from nose to tail! He even has his own queen-size bed, people!

I have not shared my personal artwork for the longest time, so here it is...

Over The Weekend,,,

correction (past tense) = swallowed !
(gulp*) ~I sure did!!!
errr...still not a fan of raw oyster though!
But as you know, Jack simply had to fulfill his craving...
.
We were at this oyster farm over the weekend...
It was our first time there, so we were NOT really prepared at all!
.
Guess What?!
It's all about self-service there, meaning;
1.buy the oysters, 2.must clean & 3.must open the shells ourselves! ~Eeek!
My-my-my...must say it was NOT easy to do no.2 & 3 !!
As you can see, we used screw drivers (from our car tool box!) to open them!!!
So NOT glamorous at all! ~whahhh...
We thought there was going to be a full-service Oyster Bar in the premise,
you know...where we could enjoy ourselves without any harrrrrrd labor involved!
.

.
The Farm mascot & oyster tanks - 100 fresh oysters for US$ 75~great price!
yup, compared to any oyster bars found in the city.
But you know what...I'd rather pay an extra $75 for not doing all the 'harrrrrrd manual labor!'
[am I spoiled or am I spoiled???]
.
The scenery was quite lovely though~
This is where they harvest all the oysters...the beach was covered in shells.
[errr... where was the perfume spray when I needed one???]
.
It was certainly quite an adventure...
A perfect way to end the summer! {O' dear...I have just lied! )

~XOXO*

Summer Ending~

very soon...and so is the week!
Happy Friday Everyone ~Lurrrve it !!!
The New Zealand-born fashion designer Karen Walker has a reputation for her original effortless style. Her summer collection is currently on SALE* HERE-one of my fave online shop. Her label has a feeling of effortlessness and has been described by the fashion press as being, “ the kind of look that provides a means of appearing cool but not trying-too-hard, cute but not saccharine, alternative but not self consciously so.” ~Luv that!

This photo was taken on my last trip to Amsterdam...cuuute boat!

" Did you see it last night? "

It was simply too hot to stay indoor last night...
so my darling dogs & I took a slow-breezy walk around the neighborhood.
~Well...take a look at what we saw :

" Ahwoo-Woo-Wooowwwwww..."
translation: the full moon was really magical*
(I howl like that sometimes!)
.

there's a little saying;
" live by the sun & love by the moon... "

...Meanwhile

"...you smart cookie you !!! "

Do you know~ throughout history, women inventors have played a vital role in the world of innovation? In fact, women have become increasingly prevalent in the field and are responsible for such huge advances as windshield wipers, disposable diapers, the first computer language and the Mars Rover.

Ignoring the gender stereotypes and discriminatory barriers that stood at every turn, these female inventors displayed an iron will and unwavering perseverance. Famous Women Inventors and its sponsor, InventHelp, are pleased to present an introduction to a handful of the many females whose ingenuity helped to shape the world as we know it over the last couple of centuries. " you go ladies!! " [click HERE for more famous women inventors ~fascinating!!]

PS: It's a busy-busy week for me...I'll be out of town for work,
shall catch up with all of you again soon!
