Hi, Laurie! Glad to see you back and interjecting your thoughts among us...I, for one, have missed you!

Have you been well? I always wonder, when someone has been away for awhile. Perhaps you were travelling? If you'd like to share your journey, I'm all ears.

My life is in a bit of a whirlwind. Suddenly, I'm taking the train from Worcester to Albany on Tuesday (where my dad is visiting my sister at her summer home) and then leaving to drive back with him to Colorado on Thursday or Friday. It wasn't the plan I had, and I'm not really happy about it. But I realized today that it's time to start "parenting the parent" and that is my reality. My dad is 84 years old, hated driving east alone, and there's just no way I'm going to let him go home to an empty house after being gone for three weeks. My mom passed away in December, and Dad just doesn't seem to be able to "acknowledge" what it is that he needs or wants...guess Mom was a bigger influence on him than I/we ever realized! LOL I know he misses her, and so do I and my siblings.

Thanks for responding to my blog, and thanks for your prayers. XOXOXOXOXO

Busy with loved ones is a great way to be :) And taking time to connect with nature. I had a strange experience last week in the back yard ... had the water hose in hand, noticed a hole in the grass, poured water into it, and got the shock of the day when a little mouse head appeared! I felt so badly, hoping she didn't have babies in there ... what have I DONE ??? But, on the other hand, glad she scampered away hopefully to find someplace not as close to my house to make a home. The doors are open a lot in summer and having a mouse family indoors would not be much fun ...

Good Morning, Laurie! I sure hope you're feeling great and that spring is finally arriving in your neck of the woods. Gray day here, but much sunshine in my heart :) I'd love to see your zentangles and doodles if you ever get a chance to post some pictures ... I'm a new addict!

Add my Blank canvas

I am so excited about doing art that I sit down to create and become overloaded with ideas and then my work space becomes crowded....but I do see light at the end of the tunnel. We are taking the bed out of the spare room which leaves me a lot more room for storage and work space....I have bought another table and some more storage bins!!! I can't wait until they pick-up the bed and get it out there!!! I guess when things are a mess your brain is a mess.

If anyone has any recommendations about… Continue

Spring

The buds are on the trees and weather is crazy..one minute you want to throw open the windows and let in the beautiful fresh air and the next it's snowing. Wow, I know the whole nation is having this type of crazy weather but I can't wait for all the beautiful flowers to bloom and the nice green leaves to appear on the trees. I have seen robins so I'm sure it is close....

Legs

It's been a long 21/2 months; on January 6th I fell down a small flight of stairs and broke both my feet. It has been horrible and I am glad it is almost over. I did gain some great arm muscles though from crawling around, this was my only means of transportation for a while. I am finally getting around better ....at least I'm on my two feet, and look forward to exploring this space .
