Hi Valerie. Funny how there’s always someone to tell us what we can or cannot do. Don’t you just wonder how they know… or think they know. And why they’re so willing to tell us we can’t? Hmmm…..

Thank you for liking the look of the blog. It was a free WordPress theme but doesn’t keep up with updates, so it may not stay forever.

Thanks, Helen. We all need reminders and encouragement I think. I know I do…

Hi Barney. I love your last sentence — surviving the 60′s again. Well-said! And I agree about life being exciting — at any stage! So long as we’re pursuing projects we love. Thanks so much for coming by.

Hi Dee — your found-friends the dogs are lucky to have you looking for them! It’s a special heart that sees the beauty in a castoff. I’m not sure why I find stories in old pieces — my home is neither trendy-new nor filled with antiques. But I do have found objects I’ve polished or painted over the years. From necessity at first, but I discovered something about myself when my husband and I went to auctions in our early days together.

It is like me to see the metaphor, though… haha!

Hi Anita. You are funny — but I take your point. We do feel like the old pot some days. Hoping to be discovered and polished! I get that. Maybe it’s a good thing to think about as we encourage others, don’t you think? Help them get polished? Oh the metaphor grows…….

Hi Bunny. Nursing, like education, was just the career of choice for women in our generation, wasn’t it? Things changed soon enough — soon enough that we could eventually tackle the things we loved doing. Your ability as a watercolorist is exceptional! I am subscribed to seeing your paintings…
