During this down time I have been able to get a lot done, as we all have. But all this free time to ourselves is beginning to grow old and monotonous. I don’t want to go down the corona/ economy/ get back to work road. I just want to let you all know I am eager to share all the new work I have been creating. This stay – at – home season has allowed me to create some more elaborate work and that is always exciting to me. So the “Tale of Three Benches” is about these amazing mosaic…
The smell of lilacs, fresh cut grass, giant lollipops and laughter in the air are whispers of long ago. Those are happy memories of my birthday.
I have a new little venture. I decided to enter 3 of my canvas paintings into a juried art show. All three were accepted. I was excited to receive the news. I still am.

This year has started off very different from the last 4 years. We are now 3 months into the year. This is about the time we first measure how the year is going so far. I’m not sure you will believe me or that I will bore you with my faith beliefs but here goes. Goal #1. To be bold in my faith! In the spring of 2017 I had such a difficult season working in my own strength. (My own strength? you ask,) ” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians, 4:13. Yes, in my…
