Memories…

Being the poor photographer that I am I truly appreciate books that capture the essence and history of a city, state or country. At least once a year, I browse through all my travel coffee table books and reminisce about my visit and about those that were with me.

Talented friends…

Off to spend time in sunny Florida with my friend Sue, who is an incredibly talented artist. Check out her gallery. Can’t wait…one of my favorite pieces in my house was done by her…the sunflower watercolor that sits at the base of my stairs (see below…it was difficult to get a photo without a glare or reflection of other items interfering). I am so envious…I wish I had an ounce of that talent.

Sue add gauze for texture.

Pass the basket…

I am not sure where I got this basket, but it reminds me of the collection basket from church. I enjoy using it for bread.
