Coming Up

OK, I've taken long enough to think and study about a certain topic of interest and am trying to get my thoughts down on paper. When I do, I will post them on this blog space. I will be gone during the month of April so I will probably get it done sometime in May. Hate to keep some of you waiting, but for now just wanted to pique your interest. Lets just say, it is something that has bothered me for a long time. I feel like I need to do something. When I get these strong thoughts, it is usually the Lord telling me I'm on the right path. After I get my thoughts down, then I will send it to different parties of interest. I will not give up this time. I'm on a roll and I feel good about it. All I can do, is do what I feel the Lord is telling to do and nothing more. The end result is up to Him. "Praise the Lord for His mercies which are new every morning."

Snow on Easter? Arn't we supposed to see the crocus, daffodil, and the azalea in bloom on Easter? Hope this is the last of the winter snow. I am definitely ready for Spring. These bones tell me, enough is enough.

I talked with my sister in Maryland and she tells me that temperatures are ranging between 50 and 65 degrees there. I'll be there a week from Monday. Lets hope the snow doesn't follow me there.

To everyone, I wish for you a most glorious Easter. "Praise the Lord, He is Risen, Alleluia."

 
 
 
 

more drawings

I just keep drawing all the time trying to improve my skills. To tell the truth my grandchildren have a better hold on portrait drawing than I do. They do such a great job of getting the likeness down on canvas. Anyway, here are a few more of mine that I have been working on. Know who they are? I'm close but not there yet.

Enough is Enough

I'll be so glad when this therapy for my arm is over and done with. I hate giving up three mornings a week. I can't believe this happened. If anything, it's very frustrating not to be able to do the things I used to take for granted.
Does anyone else besides me get angry with God? Seems like everytime I pray, something else stops working. Years ago I started writing a paper called, "Why do things get worse when I pray?" Ever thought about it? Well, I think I'm going to pick up that paper again and start writing and see what kind of answers I get. Am I angry tonight? Yes, I am to be honest. But this will pass as it always does. I think this was the icing on the cake when I went to get dressed and my arm wouldn't cooperate. Then my knee gave out going down to do laundry and I dropped the whole basket down the steps. Then I dropped paint all over the table because my hand got a cramp in it. Let's see, what else-----went to put the trash out and the bottom fell out of the bag. Well, tomorrow is another day.

I Was Surprised

I had quite an exciting time at the last craft show. I had been sitting at my booth practicing my portrait sketches on the vendors around me. Upon finishing up a sketch, Dave holds the finished product up so the vendor could see. She was so impressed that she wanted to buy the sketch. I was not about to sell her a sketch of herself on scrap paper torn out of a notebook. I gave her the sketch and ended up doing 3 other vendors that day. They say practice makes perfect.
