What a crazy set of circles today has become. My friend shared a memory from his timeline at the same time as one of mine popped up on my timeline.
I do not know how many couples are as blessed as Jeff and Diane to have shared an incredible life of love and support, but they did. As a born Romantic, I am a fan of love, no matter who it comes to and in all forms.
Diane was taken from this world six years ago, by cancer. As an artist, I knew Diane, I did not know she was sick. I was just an admirer of her work and we had contact over art. When Diane passed Jeff was kind enough to contact me and let me know. I had been there for many through similar times, so there were a lot of late night talks.
Then he posted the picture and story behind an album he was releasing. A college project, back in the days of being two young students, up late and falling in love.
As a glass artist, I saw a perfect piece. I talked to Jeff and away we went. I began working on it and we exchanged info and ideas and apparently a year to the day.....I posted the finished piece.
So today Facebook reminded us...yesterday was Diane's Birthday. Such a big circle of events.
I had never before done anyone elses work in glass, and I most likely never will again. It was a great honor though to bring to life such a precious moment in time, when perhaps it was greatly needed. What an absolute honor.
Jeff is away in France with his partners and associates, They are making beautiful music and memories. What a fitting way to celebrate such a talented artist.
on the You, there is a piece called Watercolors, with Jeff's music and some of Dianes art. if you care to see more.

I live a very simple and upfront life. Am I poor, no. Am I rich, also no. Can I do the things I like....most of them.
My accident set me back a year. The studio I had hoped to have opened by last November, will not even be started by this November. It ok, I made this all work for several years without a studio, I can do it for a couple more. I'll deep breath, regroup and head on full steam. That is me.
It is ok, I am used to working hard. I was raised as a farm . I have always had the habit of working one FT and one PT job. So for a couple more years, I'll do just that.
Not a huge thing.
I am feeling great and its time to kick it, but things are lagging. Sometimes life gets in the way of life. It will all work out. I'll be going like crazy to catch up....lol
I got myself a present for my birthday....an annoying hot guy...ok a fitness trainer, but he is an annoying hot guy  . I need to get back some strength and I think this will help fast track it.
Much has gotten back to normal, much will take a bit longer. Perhaps the past year was a gift to teach me patience. It taught me to have boundries, a lesson I am thankful for.

I often send prayers for strength and healing. Lately , I think it has doubled or tripled.
It seems so many people are facing struggles.
Anyway, Photos are a trip back in time, not a current piece. I think though with so many facing so much, these come with Prayers and Strength to those who need.

The world has just gone crazy. I am used to the May -December Romance, but now you have to get used to the New Years Day-New Years Eve. I am good, I have no room to talk. I have been known to entertain a few Lion-Tamers. I totally understand the mans point of view when faced with the choice between and elderly woman in a liesure suit or a hot young gal with $200 nails, $180 dollar hair, and a skirt so short you know her grooming habits without asking. It is a no brainer, mostly because it is not their brain they are thinking with in that moment. Women do the same, we hide it better, but its all the same. Bunch of crazy old fools we are.
Let us not pretend any 18 year old marries a ninety plus year old for love. Well, love of assets, perhaps. When marriage involves a will , a trust, a pre nup, and allowence.....well lets just say it loses lustre.
More power to the ones who have some thing real, hang on to that. You may not find it again in today's market.

Bad Trend

There is a very bad trend going on out there right now. An even dumber one than eating Tide Pods.
Both Men and women are being told to stay, yes stay, in marriages with a cheating spouse. Keep forgiving them and stay.
At the end of 2020, Globally over 37 Million people were known to be HIV positive. Add to that any number of STDs. Anyone out there risking their own life and their spouses health, does not deserve more chances. Its like saying "oh you missed, have another round"
It is abuse, no one tolerates abuse, no one supports abuse. Cheating is abuse. It puts health at risk, emotional well being at risk, financial stability is at risk.
Whether you are male or female, put that foot down babe and use it to walk out.

April and I had to be in Sault Saint Marie for a School Picnic kick off to the year. April has never been to the Soo, and so we decided to play tourist and shoppers, I strongly urge anyone to vacation in this town....so beautiful!

I am no longer allowed to read Crazyhorses Blogs without his permission.
Which doesn't bother me except, I am torn between whether it means he hates me or He really likes me because I am being spared his endless blithering.

I just uploaded tons of documents for an online school program in our state. My decided rather last moment, that Public School was not cutting it for her. She wanted to be more serious in her studies.
We did our research and found one that has career and college programs, and also allows her to do some public school activities.
We live very close to all her friends and there are still local hangouts to see the at to.
She keeps her grades high, so I told her she could give it a try,
