In Loving Memory

Oh, it's a great, great morning your first day in Heaven when you stroll down the golden avenue. There are mansions left and right and you thrill with every sight and the saints are always smiling, saying "How do you do".

Oh, it's a great, great morning your first day in Heaven when you realize your working days are through. You'll be glad you were not idle, took time to read your Bible, it's a great, great morning for you.

Until We Meet Again, Dear Friend

I lost a dear friend this week. Someone I have known since I was 12 years old. A true friend, that time and distance did not separate.

It is difficult to know that I won't talk with her again on this earth, nor hear her laugh or see the sparkle in her eye as she talks about her family. Yet the memories of her will be with me the rest of my life.

I can take comfort that today, she is once again singing, now with the angels. That her joyful spirit brings a smile to the Lord's face and that she has just made Heaven a happier place.

Until then, dear Debbie...

Poppy Fields Forever

How we love to see the Poppies in bloom! What a gift! A sea of orange in every direction. Simply there for our enjoyment. We ooh and ahh over each breathtaking view. What a gift indeed!

A Pause For Pugs

Here are "The Guys" as they are affectionately called. They are my constant companions and such sweet little bundles of joy! They are full of love and adore their Dad! (aka Biker Dude Husband) They bring smiles to our faces every day and life would be incomplete without them!

We adopted them from Little Angels Pug Rescue. (www.lapr.org) The Guys have grateful hearts and happy faces and so do we!

Painting With A Purpose

I love to paint. It often consumes me. I find myself painting into the wee hours of the morning a few times a week. In an effort to continue to love what I do, I look for avenues that allow me to pursue my passion while generating a modest income through painting.

Hand painted glass is very popular these days. Turning empty wine bottles into works of art is terrific on many levels as the three R's are truly at work... Reuse, Reclaim, Recycle! It also allows me to paint on a unique surface and makes for an interesting piece of art.
