The State of our Union

The State of our Union

Even our Union is broken. Congressman & woman fight with one another, who do they work for? Us, not the money, vote them out, the ones who refuse to compromise, vote them out of office, no matter their party. I am married to my opposite, but we’ve learned to compromise with each other. Because we are grown ups. Because we love each other & what we are, a family. We (it is ‘we’ isn’t it? People & the land are ‘we’), as a country, are giving up & pulling out. I drive down our roads & there is nothing to see but FOR SALE signs. This is NOT who we are. We have families, we have homes with friends & dogs & cats & birds & fish… These are the things that define who we are, do you really want to sell WHO we are? But who am I to say this? Nobody, really. I’m just one vote. But I’m paying attention & these ribbons say it all.

Our Ivy

Our Ivy

If you’d like a free or low price kitten, check with your Vet. If your vet is in the country, people dump their pets they don’t want at the Vet’s office. Walter & Ivy both came from our Vet.

The scary eye exam

My Dad examining Henry's eyes, I showed him the picture I took with my phone

Henry says, I look like a bug.
I said,”Quick, we need Raid bug spray”

Everyone who has a young child knows this bear

Everyone who has a young child know this bear

This mural was done by me. I had one of his books, & I like the way he was sitting, but in the book he was facing the other way, So one hand with a pencil the other hand holding the book, trying to make my brain swap everything backwards. Which is harder then it sounds. But I discovered that if I practice for a few minutes I can write mirror image like Leonardo did. Anyway, this is the art I want to do because it makes me & kids happy. Don’t you want to snuggle with that bear?
