Lucy added to ETSY

This is one of my first "Lucy" paintings. She is holding a heart in her hand, which was a special delivery from the little mail bird. "Lucy" was added to ETSY tonight.

Wooden Blocks with Children
I had started these wooden blocks this past summer & could not decide what to put on them. So I saw them last night & decided to put children on them. (Maybe I was influenced by my Grandson's that were here all week!) So I will be adding these to etsy sometime this weekend.

We went to San Angelo (TX) today. We meet my daughter & son-in-law, so that we could get the boys (our grandson's) back to them. The boys stayed with us during spring break. San Angelo is about a 1 & 1/2 hour drive from here, & the boys talked all the way there. They are so funny & so witty. We went & saw the movie "Horton Hears A Who". It was a cute & silly movie & perfect for kids. While we were in San Angelo, we went to an antique mall downtown. I found 7 old cigar boxes & 7 old photos all in great condition for only $8.00. I was so excited! What a great find!!! We are back home now & it seems so quite without the boys. I just wish we could see them more often. And my daughter was so cute, she had a cute & sassy hair cut! Okay I've gone on and on, so I will say good night & happy blogging!
