"Feel like I have been absent... from life and from my studio. Caught Covid from our grandson next door... but slowly eating again.  I had great intentions the two days before I fell ill early on a Wednesday morning. In fact I was at the point of jumping in to work on some new pieces for a show in Denver... and I hope to get somethings drawn off today.  It has been a time of grit and determination. For three days I could not eat because I would throw it all up.  I dropped 7 pounds... and now I am trying to regain some back but not eating healthy as I normally do.

Benjamin Franklin  In Ephesians 2:8 it says "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."     Right now unfortunately, our nation is split over politics, religion, sexual identity, ... you name it, we are split.  The other split is the half of the nation that has walked away from God.  That is for me the to...

You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .” ― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves Since the fall I have been hitting days of not being able to fall asleep. This is really unusual for me. I am one of those sleepers that falls asleep, does not roll around, or wake in the night for the bathroom run.  It seems so strange to be laying there awake from 9 pm through about 2:30 or 3:00.   On facebook I note others sufferi...

To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” ― Albert Einstein SIGH... DEEPER SIGH.  Do not know where the week went . This is already SATURDAY.  I haven't really blogged all week, except for Stacey's birthday.  We made the decision to downsize and literally have been hitting the house each day, packing up extra stuff, fixing small things and mourning.    Yep, Mourning.  I hate to even admit how many times Terry and I have moved. F...

That's what I'd hoped to give you forever” ― Nicholas Sparks I hope on this Valentine's Day you are not just spending money on cards, candy and funny gifts...but are spending time with those that are special to you.   "THE LEGEND OF ST. VALENTINE The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in my...

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”...

My mom was with us for the 10 day vacation. It definitely gave us food for conversation during the flig...
