Beautiful. lilo. I'm not able to see sunsets like that from our house, too many houses and mature trees. BTW, my computer is acting up, the subject line may have been changed, I don't know how that happened.

Amy, the lyrics you came up with are sad to me, but thanks for stopping in and sharing them. They sound lonely. Are you lonely over there? What kinds of social activites are you indulging in? Do you still have the home helper to take you out to the stores and galleries? And have you had any new ideas on canvas? I remember you were thinking of painting the small Hawaiian homes and broken down trucks beside them --some local flavor. That was a cool idea. What about your web site ---- ? I know these are a lot of questions, but I am curious about your forward movement. I think about you all the time..... Raeanne~ Geez! How'd the guy's fire start? Having things burn always makes me feel really strange. I really enjoy controlled fire, but fires that destroy are so irreversible. You lose so much of your life's history when a fire takes the things you've worked for and cherished. The photos and memories are virtually lost and there is so much to rebuild. However, speaking from experience, a fire is a time when you find out who your true friends are, so it is an excellent eye-opener for the New Year. I hope the community pulls together for him and shows him the spirit of hope! I've only just read the latest couple of posts, so I'll read more and be back to relax later. All in-laws left yesterday, so we took down the tree, decorations, and will drive them to storage to day. Also, gotta go to the transfer station with all the garbage and recycling. Then, off to the grocery to refill the pantry and get the kids lined up for school to start tomorrow! Whew! Happy New Year!

A good one.A good laugh.But its so good you get to spend time with your granddaughter.I am glad you get to laugh and enjoy each other.That is what we all need to do more is spend time with our family and try to blot out all the sad times of the world and just try to laugh and enjoy our family.Glad you posted this.

Ah, not even a cot, eh? Currently: Sleet and freezing rain, wind out of the North at 20, windchill five below, second round to arrive tonight... I HOPE you're feeling guilty, Joan. ;) Need more warming photos badly.
