Reality

This quote was given to me by a customer as a wedding gift. Don't you love the quote, I was not familiar with it? I guess it has been several light years since I read Dr. Seuss to my children.

And this week I was graced by a visit from my fabulous Hawaiian neighbors, Donna, Wes and 2 year old Krislyn. We had SO much fun. She is a technical wizard par excellence and got my copyrite symbol going again on my computer. Thank you, Donna.

We had fabulous summer weather for their trip to Spokane, sending those beautiful fall day blessings out to all of you.

New Geese

Sometime back in a previous blog, I put up this quote. I never was happy with the artwork so this week, I redesigned the whole thing and drew better geese. It was just for me but you know, most of us are perfectionists! Have a happy week!

Freedom, Sunshine and a little flower

I have been working on my annual desk calendar this week and this is a quote from the Calendar, written by Hans Christian Anderson. Thank you for all your nice comments on my blog, I appreciate you.

Rose

When I first started making the "Art of Marriage" ( see a couple of blogs below this) I always had a rose on it. Then I tried the bouquet that you saw last week but now I painted this rose to go back to my original idea. I think I like it better, what do you think? Have a great day!

Benediction

Benediction means a blessing.

The weekend before last we went to Portland, Oregon to help celebrate a great friend of mine who happens to be a Catholic Priest. We go way back to dancing in college together and editing our University Yearbook. This weekend celebrated his 20th anniversary of his Priesthood and his 65th birthday. We had such a fun time. Friends are the best!

During his anniversary mass, the congregation sang this blessing to him. It was so beautiful, powerful and brought tears to my eyes. I looked it up on the internet so I could hear it again under Curtis Stephan. I wanted to do this for him in Calligraphy and thought you might like to see it too.

Sending a blessing out to all of you.
