How you know that your local Mexican restaurant is a good Mexican restaurant

#pushButtonCoinOperatedTelephone #holidaySaguaro #restaurants #decor

a push button telephone from probably 1972 with a hand written sign above that says "Quarters Only: 3 minutes for 25 cents" and a black lockbox below that accepts quarters.

An artificial saguaro made of artificial christmas tree branches, and covered in festive lights and easter decorations.

In a glass jar, two cat friends find a comfortable place to chill. One is a Siamese cat, the other a rather perplexed looking creature, who is maybe wondering why he is here.

Gorgeous Monsters & Their Pets
Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.

Meet Lord Shrouder, of the Runbludic tribe & his Leaping Lollies: Ishney, Bothart, Rubels and Pamela.

An olive shaped, leaf covered creature sits sedately on a couple of baroque stools, while his four beloved pets play around him. Happy-go-lucky purple beasties with a layered pink mane frolic and tumble into trouble. Their avid curiosity and willingness to bite any and all things with their rows of tiny sharp teeth, suggest chaos may be just around the corner, as one thinks his owners tail looks downright tasty. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

into the garden - summer blooms
This is the third in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into the deep colors of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

Summer flowers bursting in red, yellow and orange blossoms, backlit by brightness. Tucked into a lower corner, a gently abstract face, smiles with pleasure. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Peeking out from inside a bright orange circle, four monsters of varying descriptions, glare out at the viewer. Their intention is to intimidate and they take their job very seriously! NOTE: Don't worry though -- their expressions are worse than their bite -- they are actually nice guys. :-)

Monsters in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip or two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

Set against a flower covered wallpaper, piled into a porcelain teacup, are 5 tiny monsters. Peeking from behind, one more peers above the tabletop.

ENTRANCED
I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! :-) Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

On a muted dark green watercolor wash, a detailed pencil/graphite drawing of a young girl staring avidly at an open book. She is seated in a chair and surrounded by all kinds of creatures, including a turtle, rabbit, owl, alligator, snake, fish and bird. Next to her on a small table, a cup of steaming tea and a plate of cookies.

Crammed into a doorway, between the night landscape outside and brightness within, an anxious assortment of strange beasties are wedged together. Some appear puzzled, others gleeful, most are simply curious. One bold orange creature leaps with abandon into the glowing space, joining several floating/flying books and strangely shaped objects. Their mysterious adventure continues...

#trump has zero taste. Obama's oval office is my favorite. Just tasteful geometric accents, muted earth tones to highlight the art and all the art in Obama's office was made by small artisans. I have a friend back home whose painting was in the oval office because Obama was in Jackson and liked it. #obama #decor #newbrutalism https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/17/trump-bukele-el-salvador-meeting
