We Thought it Would Always Stay This Way

 I have always loved being on the Gulf Coast, whether we were living in Texas or in Florida.  I enjoy watching the pelicans, sand pipers, sea gulls, and any and all sea fairing birds. Those creatures in the waves, in the tide, in the sand, and along the shoreline contribute to the beauty of these coastal waters. We thought it would always stay this way.  Hearts are breaking.

   

Happy Birthday, Chuck! (aka Charlie)

Today is the day that we celebrate you! 

Happy Birthday!  I love you.

(and I'm sending a toast your way)

Summer is here! Hot, hot, hot!

It is June 1, 2010 and we are getting ready to experience one of our afternoon showers!  Welcome to Tallahassee!

It was a good Spring.  I sold several pieces - that's always nice!  I'm in a show at Kittrell/Riffkind right now called "On the Wild Side. There are several  shows on the horizon, so I am trying to prepare for those!  

We enjoyed a nice weekend with my brother, Monty, and my sister-in-law, Linda.  They got in on Friday evening.  I had already purchased a cooking class at "Panhandlers" on Friday as part of my husband's birthday present, so he had a good time attending that and then we came home just in time for their arrival.  It worked out fine!

On Saturday,  Chuck and Monty worked on a glass piece and Linda and I tried some enameling on copper.  She did a good job!  The fellows did good work on their piece as well.   Later, on Saturday evening, we enjoyed a delicious dinner that Mom prepared (Chuck helped also).

Sunday, Mont and Linda returned to Pensacola and we worked some more in the studio.  It was a nice family weekend!

Well, here comes the rain - everyone have a good evening!


Til later,
