Found Items/IBS/Work/Table

Over two weeks ago when

 I went to moms

to help my daughter with

 the stuff

that she was getting I 

ran across a few things.

In a dresser that Amber

 was taking that was

in moms office I found

 the above drawing.

You see, I have always been

 crafty but I was in the 

11th grade before I 

found ART. 

I painted a few things 

in art class, drew some but

once I was out of school

 I never did anything else.

UNTIL years and years

 later. I bought a thing of

cheap color pencils and 

started to play around 

with them. I am not

 much of a drawer though,

better at painting.

 I gave this to my mom.

Although she loved it she

told me I needed to find 

a paint class and start

painting again. She

 told me to check out 

Michael's and JoAnn's for 

classes. I said I would.

I never did. 

But this drawing started me

 back into playing with 

paints and brushes.

 Months went by and one day

mom was at my brothers

 house, she saw some people

going in a house down

 the street carrying canvas.

 Mom

just walked herself 

down there to check it out.

That was when she met 

Shirley Pharris, a painter 

and teacher. Yep, that is

 how it started. I started

painting and took classes

 in Shirley's home for

five years. 

I had forgotten about this

 drawing and not until 

Amber and I ran across it 

did I notice, I drew moms

fave bird, the blue bird.

 I did not know that though

until just a few years ago.

Along with the drawing I 

found a couple of 

Mothers Day cards I made mom. 

Oh yeah, I was crying yet again!

Thursday I finished up

 with my water PT. YAY....

I hate having to do something

 like that on someone

else schedule. Making an apt

 is a pain. 

After PT I went to lunch at

 Jason's Deli. 

I have been carving salad,

 so I got one.

I had one also Sunday evening,

 paid for several

days for that one and not 

realizing it was the 

salad I am still paying 

today for Tuesday salad.

IBS don't like salads much 

but like the fibro, 

it might be an issue now

but not next week. 

But this was so good...

It starts again....

Yet, things are picking up at work

in Photo Services again so I am 

starting back on my Monday thru

Thursday schedule again. 

I am actually working on two

projects. The slide file room and 

moving the last Governor's photos 

from the one server to a drive for 

archiving. 

Hey, remember the tin type tables

I picked up on my last

roadside shopping trip?

Picked one up to place on the 

deck and saw a sticker on

the bottom, 29.99.

Wow, 30 bucks for each,

60 bucks and I got them FREE.

I like my price better!!!!
