Incredibly beautiful. I know I haven't commented on your art for a while, but your work still takes my breath away every time.

LOL! That's fantastic news on both of those. Congratulations. Both of our children have gotten married in the past 4 weeks, our daughter just this past Friday. Our wonderful 9 year old collie/sheltie dog died last Wednesday and the house is torn apart as we are involved in a long extended remodeling process. That pretty much sums it up, highs and lows.

I have cried and cried over my dog, and had to keep repeating the thought processes that went into our deciding to go ahead and have him euthanized, several times a day, for awhile, there, I missed him so much. Β We really had no choice. To have waited would have risked, maybe even condemned him to a horrible death of bleeding out from his stomach or maybe even lungs, too. But every time I missed him, the first couple of weeks, Β I found myself needing to go over the chain of events and thought processes that went into our decision. And like you I've been going along and we might be out driving and I see a field that would be perfect for Β a girl and her dog and I'm overwhelmed with grief and tears, out of the dark, smacking me in the face. I'm crying right now. He was a special dog, my dog, not because I said he was my dog, but because he did. I will never have another dog that will love me as much as he did, or was with me to be part of everything I did, at my heels, joining in, or do the things he did. He was very alert and attentive and interactive. He was a big part of every part of our lives and my husband has been missing him a lot, too. I've never seen him get so upset over anything as with Gilley's illness and death. It was a blessing to have had him in our lives and I'm glad for that. Anyway, enough.
The weddings went well and much happiness. I hope that both couples will be happy and grow old, happy, together. Only time will tell. There will, of course, be bad times in there, but hopefully mostly good times, for them. It's the way life goes. We're going to be going over to visit with my sister and mother next weekend. I'm looking forward to that, as I've been wanting to get over there for a couple of months. Need to visit my aunt and uncle again this fall. My mother's health is not great and my uncle is going through chemo and radiation for throat cancer, and we need to get down to visit our son again Β sometime this fall. And of course, we're going to France in October for most of the month. I'm really not sure we'll be able to do all of this before Christmas. Β AND we're trying to continue our house remodeling and I'm trying to do 4 scrapbooks, and after France that'll be another one added in there, and get art work done and work a couple days a week at the library...........Sometimes I just want to pull out my hair.
