This is a portrait of me back when by

one of my favorite teachers, Keith Ward.

Have I showed this one yet.??

I just photographed it when I was

at Beverly's in February.

He did this in perhaps two hours or so as

a demo - a 24 x 30" Oil Painting

.

Another Day

14 x 17 pencil drawing

by Lynn Thomas

This photo is pretty poor - the quality of the

drawing is a lot finer than this shows.

It was reproduced on rough notepaper

and I scanned the image off the notepaper.

Still trying to scrape up photos I haven't used yet. Went to church this morning. Getting dressed and presentable and being on time is a real chore. It's very frustrating. Sat with Bonnie and her family. In Sunday School I used my new book of Scriptures for the first time. Will have to get more familiar with it, because by the time I found the passage they were discussing, they were on the next topic. Afterwards I stopped by the store for a few things - mainly some chocolate ice cream. Bonnie and Craig gave us some native grass seed to sprinkle around the yard. We're just going to have to buckle down and decide where we want grass and where we want gravel. Its a good time to get it out, because we've been having rain and snow every day. Today it was blustery and cold.

During the recent quiet days I have been working on my book, mainly by furiously typing or transcribing into the computer, letters from a friend who worked for me for three or four years. I'm about to have these finished and can send them back to her. She may (or may not) want to keep them just for the memories. I've finished two sets from other people, and have another very large collection to do next.

Last night I watched two of the movies Bonnie loaned me on the new DVD player - Louis L'Amour's The Quick and The Dead, and Thunderheart. Am enjoying them very much, as long as I can stay awake. I tend to doze and wake, and it took playing it three times for me to see all of Thunderheart. I made it through The Quick and the Dead all in one sitting. Tonight I'm going to watch Breach. And I'm about ready to go get it started. The TV in my bedroom was out of whack for more than a day, but is back on now. Figured I'd have to call tech support, but it was back on this morning. Maybe it was the storm, I don't know. The other two TVs worked fine.
