When I see a rainbow….

We walk everyday,  everyday we are blessed with viewing wildlife, beautiful sunrises, flowers, all sorts of weather,   and every now and then a rainbow.  This one was straight toward  the heavens. Those of you that know me well, know that seeing a rainbow has always reminded me that my brother John is looking down on me from the heavens.  40 plus years and he is still loved, and still missed!

Aretha makes the cover!!

I am so honored to be on the cover of this book,  ok NOT me but my art.  Aretha Franklin front and center.  This book actually has 2 of my art pieces,  Aretha and Through the Lens, both have been on this blog.  Soon to be on the book shelves.  Hope all of you find one to purchase,  this is gonna be an awesome book celebrating women in HERstory!!

Forty and other 1st

I could not find a photo of just Russ and I so Olivia is also in this one, and a sweetie as always, love this beautiful girl.     We celebrated our 41st Anniversary this year. A lot of 1st. 
Forty  1st anniversary
1st house we have ever built
and Russ for the 1st time is not working, he retired.    
Looking forward to lots more 1st.

Ruger helps us build our new home too...

Ruger is really not much help.  He is very much a crazy dog without fear.  So we have to watch him closely when the equipment is running or a visitor drives up the driveway.  He has been known to run into moving vehicles, the 1st time he dented a car, the 2nd he managed to break his leg.  He does love Crandall, lots of room to run, water to swim in and he does like to help with all the building.
