1 color, 1 poem

Positive
I am really tickled about my growth in drawing, photography and watercoloring. It is like being back in 4th grade. Scanning images seems to be my most challenging hurdle. But I will perservere with tenacity... In the meantime here is a poem that I wrote.

AFTER AN AWFUL DAY
A soul peace that is lasting
where is that now?
A place that is soothing, sparkling
and comforting,
It cannot be far.
I know my children will show me the way...

Dreaming of Ireland today,
my place of escape.
The fog and fields, people and sea
totally calm me...
I hear the crisp sounds of laughter,
music and dance.
The colors vivid in my memory where
my beginnings have root,
May I revisit the ground of family?

Good morning - just had some horrible news and am sad for a friend and her family... when i first heard i was **@#ed as her familymember had been in an awful accident earlier this year and he now passed away... whoever it was that hit (and ran) him was a criminal... the family will still have to endure that for him.

i had been drawing fish this morning one of my favorite subjects. And so in honor this Grandpa i will continue and then post them later this week.

"White Out" Queen

the shape is a little off but the contents are golden

Going Out West

I am so pleased. I have known for some time that I have been assigned to a training meeting in Salt Lake. I am to go last week of this month or the first week of next month. I have a friend Sue H who loves Salt Lake and tells me I will have a lovely time.

I have been to Wyoming and Montana so I thought I would rent a car and dip my toe into Idaho near Preston or Malaad City... I am going to take my journal and sketch... When I was in Wyoming I had made some quick drawings of Mt. Washburn. Unfortunately for me, when I was there it was hot and somewhat humid... And with that type of combination I sink into "limp rag, M.S. mode"... I am determined that it won't be humid in October in SLC. I would like to see Sundance and Park City in Utah... time may not be on my side so I will accept that and do what I am able...

A New Addition

See this little Brit, she will be our new baby as of 10/15... her name is Tiny Dancer and
she is a sweetheart. She will shake up our house but be well worth it. We have fallen
in love - all four of us!!!!
