New Member Of The Family

Welcome Shelly!

Summer and Crystal have been gone just over 6 months and our family has had a big hole in our hearts. Max has been very sad and attached to his human dads side and JBs when he came home from college. Now he has Shelly to play with and love. Shelly and Max are best of friends. As you can see Shelly is very happy in her new home.

Farewell

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned the hard way that some poems don't rhyme and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Quote by Gilda Radner



I bid my fellow blogging friends a Good Bye. It has been one hell of a ride and I have enjoyed every minute. The past two years have changed the path of my life and I find myself going in a new direction. My marriage of 25 years has ended, seven heart attacks, my two sons are grown up they have started their own lives in the military and I am in a new relationship learning new things. I don't know what is next for me but I hope one of paths includes creating art.

Army Son Graduates Basic Training

Bill is getting ready to ship to Arizona for training for the next 4 months. After that he should be able to come home for the holidays and then he ships over seas.

Front gate leading into Fort Leonard WoodTaken two weeks into Basic Training.

Taken nine weeks into Basic Training.

He has lost about 20 pounds, walks and stands a bit straighter.

BUT the Army did not take away his smile!

Please keep all of the Military Men and Women in your prayers.

I Love Riding

Sorry for my lack of posting and creativity. I am admitting to myself and the whole world I've lost my desire to create art. I am enjoying my new life with Mark. Part of this new life is riding on the back of the motorcycle with Mark. Mark rides almost everyday for work, we ride together for fun and ride with three motorcycle groups. Motorcycle riding is my new love. I hope to find my creative side again when fall and winter are here in Chicagoland. Mark will still ride in the winter for work. I will ride once in awhile so I will have time to play with fabric.
