New Exhibit at IS Fair


I spent all of yesterday finishing the colored pencil art work I was doing for my son on the day that the man arrived to tell me that my only son was found dead. I have been saving the pencils and the picture for months, hoping I could get back to it and finish it for my beloved child. It is finished. Today I'm going to enter it in the Fine Arts Division of exhibits at the annual Western Idaho State Fair. My dear husband says it looks excellent. I am happy with the finished art work. Time does heal, but it is still lonely and sad and it will take forever ............ tears come very easily to my heart and eyes these days.......

Neighbors left for Eugene


It is kind of a sad day here in the motorhome. Our dear neighbors of several months, have boughten a lovely home in the green city of Eugene, OR, and pulled their new trailer out this morning at 6:30. I gave them lots of hugs and Pepper waved at them and licked their shoes frantically, making them laugh. It won't be the same around here without them. She is a gardener and she will be in heaven gardening at their new home.

At 3:30 this morning in the mobile home park next to this RV park, there was a terrible fire that killed a family. The fire trucks are still over there. Very tragic.

The wild fires are burning so badly here that we can't see the mountains anymore, and we live at the foot of them. We desperately need some rain the help put the fires out.

On the patio I'm growing a lovely flower, Lisaanthus (eustoma), and am posting a picture of it that I took a couple days ago.
