Don't forget to fly

I did like this bird I painted. It’s part of a piece inspired by a line in a poem by Al Young.

Love,

Don’t forget to fly

Rodney, Keith’s talented photographer-cousin, just sent me these great shots from Keith and Judy’s wedding. Dave and Rebecca at top, and Patrick and Steph at bottom. I have no idea what is going on in that dramatic moment! Now, Rodney, can you please take my driver's license photo?

Searching for wine in wine country

While Mary, Gretchen and I were in Napa last week my goal was to find a bottle that I like for $20 or less. Here’s a drawing of the winner (actually, the only $20 bottle we came across!), plus a practical skill that I learned from Gretchen. Thanks, Gretchen!

Love,

Life behind us ... mystery before us

Written last night:
Dear Friends,

It’s Patrick’s 33rd birthday, and I enjoyed it as thoroughly as a mother might — how great to make a chocolate cake and dinner of mac and cheese for him and Steph! And then to talk and laugh together — one simple day to stop and celebrate the life behind us and the mystery before us.

Love,

Abuzz with love

Written last night:

Dear Friends,

It’s been a whirlwind week or two — Last week we said goodbye to Rebecca and Dave, who stayed with us for the wedding, and they felt at home here, I am sure. Zing! and I could feel it. Keith and Judy are off to their honeymoon, and this morning Zing! and I hugged Mary and Gretchen goodbye, after their short visit from Ohio. Zing! warmed up to them immediately, and he even jumped into Mary’s lap instead of mine as soon as they met. (That’s OK, Zing! I love her too!) We spent two days in Napa, following Gretchen’s elegant tour guide. I’ll tell more later, but for now this is it. My head is happily abuzz from all the love we’ve shared.

Love,
