A day with friends...

I have packed several more boxes....met with my dear friend Abby and my dear friend Justin.  I gave him some foam core and some tempera paints and foam brushes to play play play and paint some paintings about his Father's work!  Just spending time with them...calms my rawness in my heart.  Lesley came by to chat and I made sure to have made plans for my Branson and the plans to continue his love of drawing.  He failed to show for his first lesson with my friend at the library last Tuesday,  Today's lesson... it was rescheduled...due to a conflict that Mary could not be rearranged.  Hopefully I will stop by his house and try to remind him to attend next week.  Our library has so many wonderful programs that are fun and free ....and there for the community to explore and enjoy.  Special reading programs...and Art club  for teens... rewards and specials for the families to enjoy at little or no actual costs.

I am sorting and packing my boxes...one at a time and making sure to add labels as I go.  I forgot my camera ...how could I have done this?  Taking photos is like ...breathing for me ...daily documenting the smallest details of the day.  I am putting my camera in the car right so I can be prepared.
