A Day with Family

Posted in Small Town Life on October 8, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Isn’t this the cutest little guy?  This is Chase Houston Criser.  He’s my godson.  Yesterday we spent the day with his family for his Baptism.  It was a wonderful day with family.

This is his big sister, Carson, with her grandpa (Bill is Allen’s brother-in-law) making homemade pizza for lunch.  It was terrific!

Carson is Allen’s god-daughter.  And they  play this fun tackle game every time they get together.  Well, it’s fun for Carson.  Not so sure about Allen although he looks like he’s having fun here.  And Carson runs at him so fast she looks like a ghost!

It was a great day with family.

A Great Old Barn

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , on October 6, 2012| 1 Comment »

I passed this really neat looking barn on the way to Sassafras Farm a few weeks ago when I was in West Virginia.  I love the way it looks.  So we painted it last week in adult art class.  If you have ever thought about painting you should come join us on Wednesdays or Thursdays for class.  Click here for more information.

A Nice Surprise

Posted in Dogs, tagged , , , on October 4, 2012| 2 Comments »

Monday I got a wonderful surprise.  I came home to a package.  I knew I had not ordered anything so I was really surprised when I opened it and found the 2013 Dog-a-Day calendar and letter saying that my Jeffie would be featured on February 20th.  I thought back to the last time I had sent a photo in to them for submission in their calendar and it had to be at least 5 or 6 years!  They must be really backlogged! Or maybe Jeffie’s story is just so special they didn’t want to miss it.  🙂  You can read more about my Jeffie here.  We really miss him and this is a really special tribute to our wonderful time with him.   This is what they chose to write:  “To the Rescue:  Basset/Lab mix Jefferson (or Jeffie, for short) was adopted at three months old from a Raleigh rescue group called Second Chance.  Kelly Walker of Front Royal writes that since then Jeffie has chased a robber from their home, and learned how to predict the occurrence of his “mom’s” migraines so that she can take her medication in advance.  Kelly can’t help but wonder:  Who rescued whom?”

Oldest and Youngest

Here is what I love about my Tuesdays.  Yesterday I taught  my group at The Southerlands.  This is Miss Gaylor with her strawberry.  She loves painting strawberries and has painted at least a dozen.  And every time she tells me about her daughter who has a strawberry birthmark.  🙂

And then after The Southerlands ladies I meet with Jacob, my youngest painter.  He informed me that he is 6 and 3/4.  He is the one who brought me the acorns for us to paint.  And didn’t he do a great job on his?!  Thanks Jacob.

Itchy Dog

Posted in daily painter on October 2, 2012| 5 Comments »

Absolutely no time for painting the last few days.  I added Mamie to the family two weeks ago and she has some kind of allergy with itching and scratching.  We have been researching remedies and are trying the Apple Cider Vinegar solution as well as acidophiles.  She’s on a good quality food.  Hoping to find a remedy soon because the scratching is making me nuts.  Imagine what it is doing to her!  If you have a solution please comment.  Thanks!
