It has been a long time since I made an entry. Life is always in the way but am thankful that I have one.

A dear friend just died and it has me thinking  about my mortality. Asked my daghter about funeral arrangements and her response was ” don’t die”. 

So fortunate that I have a wonderful husband, children and five grandchildren.

Grateful for living in south Florida.

New Year

2012 is upon us and I hope this will be the best year ever. Painted some small canvases and they turned out very well so next will do some large abstracts on large canvases. Can’t wait to get started.
Wishing all the bloggers a Happy New Year.

Harmony and Balance is my motto for today. The big question is how to achieve a harmonious and a balanced life. I’ll have to think and ponder on that.

The work on the landscaping is done and it is spectacular. Most evenings we sit out on the patio with a glass of wine waiting for the up lights to turn on and light up the palms and plants. I am so fortunate to have my little garden of eden right here on earth.
