RECEIVED A GIFT TODAY............LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES.......


I received this painting in the mail the other day....It was something I won from sweet Angie over at Angela's Acrylics.

She is truly a talented artist who works as a E.R. nurse in her day job.  I have followed her for quite sometime and it always amazes me how she makes acrylics look like oils in her work.


Please give her a visit..it is truly worth your time to see all the amazing work she creates.  Simple yet elegant.  

I have always liked putting small works in ornate frames..it's just me...but I love the look and feel.

Have a cherry...I mean cheery day my sweet friends!!

Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

" I AM ROOTED....BUT I FLOW". Virginia Woolf

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
