A great big thank you to the mystery buyer who just purchased a matted print of my “Yesterday’s Gone”…..I so much appreciate your choosing some of my work.

I’d like to thank the secret buyer who purchased my “Down on the Farm” calendar. Whoever you are, it was a very happy year end surprise.

Janis Zroback has given me permission to share this link from her journal. Everyone who reads this may also post it in a journal of their own. Since we all aren’t on the same watchlist, this is a good way to get the word out concerning this matter.

I just want to take the time to send a heartfelt thank you to the mystery buyer who purchased a photographic print of my “Gone Fishin”

This was such a fun piece to do and has made several people wonder what happened to the fish. :)

Again, thank you, Buyer….a really nice surprise!

Just wanted you to know that I didn’t forget. Hope your day is beautiful.

I wrote these thoughts last year & decided to post them again this year. Enjoy!

FOR A MOMENT

During the Christmas season, the world becomes a magical place. Neighborhoods take on a cheery glow with bright colored lights, the air smells of savory spices, there’s joyful music all around, & there’s children laughing & playing – looking with great expectation for the arrival of Christmas morn to receive their gifts. Just for a moment, the world becomes a sweeter place. For a moment, we all love more, give more, care more as we go beyond ourselves. And the hurts, sickness, disappointments & pain of this life become non-existent, for a moment.

“Basking”

and “Wash Day Blues”

Hopefully the buyer will see this post & know how very much I appreciate the purchase.
