My First Art Show

I was happy to participate in our local Senior Center’s Art Show yesterday!

It was fun hanging out with friends, looking at their art displays, chatting.......then I Sold the above framed painting!

I was excited that a stranger would like one of my paintings enough to pay money for one.....maybe it’s the beginning of something?

Thank you Mr Ken for being patient with me!  I say I am the difficult student in our class.....smiles.

Our 34th Wedding Anniversary

Me and hubs 

We were so young! As I look back on our life together.

His mom, Edeltraut and I drove up to New York to visit him while he was stationed in Saratoga Springs NY in the early 1980s....

We have had a lifetime  of fun memories together like this one...... so unbelievably blessed.

Enjoy life!

My Year of 6 Paintings Despite MS

I painted this canvas of my uncle Carson's barn, for my son's Christmas gift....

Thankfully I can paint with both hands now, since my right hand was damaged by Multiple Sclerosis (MS) decades ago.

I painted this for my granddaughters nursery 

my daughter chose a picture of her cat Tristan for me to paint.,
animals are a challenge....learning

My sister Teresa’s view.
Her son took this photo, then I painted it.

My lake view in 2010......I love looking at it.

My first painting in class, a year ago.

 It is the road I grew up on.

I have had a blast at our local Senior Center learning to paint better.....

 with my aunt Sue.

I do spend many, many hours painting.......therefore I blog less but it is a fun achievement!

Do you have a favorite of these 6?

My Grandson is 5 Years Old

Can you believe my grandson is 5 already?   I so enjoy the kind intelligent young man he is....As he pointed a water bottle at me....

We loved his visit for the Thanksgiving last week.

His aunt Leah bought him a T-ball set.

My son took me to see my doctor in Atlanta 

Parker and Gracie 

We also got to celebrate his 5th birthday a few times.  I took him at our local bouncy house with his cousin’s  Nate and Gracie.

He liked driving this robot

I cannot express the joy of being a grandparent!  And I happily look forward to having a granddaughter by the end of the year!!!  What a gift! ❤️

My Cognitive Woes

My sister Jill's photography
Feeling Foggy

I cannot believe how forgetful I am getting!  When I worry about my brain lapses to others, they say they have the same problems.

Is it an age thing?? Or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) related??

I have recovered really great from my baclofen pump surgery so that’s not the culprit

I will keep playing my Word games, taking krill oil and just keep living my wonderful life that I truly have!  And be thankful for that.....
