Merry Christmas to All

The chicken is in the crock pot as we wait for out children and their little ones to descend upon the house. It is that wonderful chaos...which I try to keep orderly !

Have a Merry Christmas and I pray for blessings for all of you !


Have a wonderful holiday !

Back...from a short trip

We went down to Florida for a week. Had a great time...saw two hockey games  one in Sunrise and one in Tampa (and today it's so cold and snowy here I would gladly have stayed ).

We took the train and had reserved a roomette for both trips, but had to upgrade to a bedroom for the train ride home. The roomette is good for one person or two slim people ! Once the beds were down (which happened while we were at dinner)it became comical (that is a hind sight comment it really was not very comical that night). There was about a foot between the door and the beds...and climbing on the toilet seat and shelf to get up to my top bunk...people I am 64 it was not a pretty sight !

I am working on a piece for my son in law...his favorite hymn is Amazing Grace...so I painted a wooded scene in the background and then painted the hymn  on top.

This is a quick shot from my phone...finished the lettering yesterday-now will start to "clean it up"



I paint in the kitchen-tried to make a guest room in the (empty nester) house a studio-but old habits are hard to break !

Have a blessed day !

Christmas Tree Time

Okay-we do not cut down our own tree...in fact we have had an artificial one for the last few years (this year we are getting real).

I love the idea of going out and getting one...with your black lab of course.

As always, thanks for taking a peek !



Have a blessed day !

I started working on a Christmas picture yesterday...since I snapped this with my phone I have added a dog and adjusted the tree a bit...will post tomorrow when it is complete.

All pictures are $45.00 unless they are a print -then they are $10.00.

Thanks for checking them out !
 
Have a blessed day !
