Hello Blog World!

Today is a bit gloomy out there, but in here, life is good! There are lots of great things happening in my life and I'm very thankful for each one. May is going to be another busy and fun packed month, so I'm really looking forward to it. We just celebrated Joe's mom's 80th birthday on May 2. She's such a spunky one! I'm trying to figure out where she gets her zest of life, so we can package it up. Here is a picture of Marge (aka Maxine) and her very first birthday cake:

My sister is heading up this way and should be here Friday! Yipee! Then we'll be celebrating Mothers Day on Sunday. We'll have all the Moms and all the kids and the whole family together. Yeh! I love spending time at the farm. It makes my heart feel so good...Eat, drink and be merry! The classic combination.

Wednesday is Cindy's birthday, so Happy Birthday to you Cindy Lou!

Here's a photo of Cindy at Christmas last year.

Friday I am doing a mini workshop at Cypress of Raleigh. It's just a 2 hour class at a local retirement community. It should be fun! Then next week, Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch will be at Jerry's Artarama for a fabulous encaustic workshop! Can't wait for that one!

Oh, and don't forget Artsplosure in Raleigh on May 15th and 16th! Lots of fun downtown...

Have a great week!
