It's Gold...

The Dutchess has honored me by awarding me the GOLD. Her site is delight to visit. She has such wonderful pictures and poetry. It's a lovely world to visit in which our imaginations are allowed to run wild. Please drop and visit her and see if what I say isn't true. Thank you most sincerely, Dutchess.

Since I was privileged to receive this award, there are also responsibilities that come with it. One must share the "wealth." Please visit these friends, too. And so I begin...

My Life is a Magnet...

If you looked at my refrigerator you would ask yourself, as I have many time, why doesn't this freezer door just fall off? I have collected magnets for some time. I have my treasured Colorado Aspen leaf and the Corpus Christi sea shell. There are magnets from the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Evansville Museum, the High Museum in Atlanta, and the ultimate museums, The Smithsonian. I have magnets from Dublin and Mount Rushmore. I have gifts from Rome and Ontario. For goodness sake. I don't need to write a book...My life is on my refrigerator.

Thanks be to God!

Another Remodeling Update...

Welcome to the world of remodeling. I can tell you this project is going much more smoothly than either Ron or I could have imagined. As a matter of fact they measured for the carpet and soon we'll have a comfortable room in which to gather.

Thanks be to God!

Remodeling Update...

Because The Dutchess was interested in knowing how the family room remodeling was going thought I'd send a quick pic.

Ron cut this piece of drywall out of one sheet. No piecing, looks nice and clean...Good job, Ron! A work of art to me...though others may see it otherwise.

Again, thanks be to God!
