"St. Patrick's Day Celebration"

     More joy to my heart. Slowly, but surly, the flowers are blooming. 3-17-2017 Perryton, TX


“Happy are the days when blooming flowers surround you.” The tulips will be open shortly. I just enjoy my flowers so much. The pictures I have posted of these crocuses and buttercups, are down the steps of my front door. They are just out of my house enough to call them outside flowers. Several other kinds in this bed will be in full bloom right away. How nice it is to live with spring weather.

I am grieving the loss of a sister-in-law who passed away yesterday. She was my husband’s last sibling. I loved her so much, and her three sons also. She will be missed by many. She had lived in Oklahoma City every since she had been married. While going to beauty school there she met and married her husband. He preceded her in death about five years ago. One by one our family are being called to their eternal home. I must spend as much time as I possible can with the remaining ones. God has a plan for all of us, and I know it is the right thing. “Trust and obey for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.”

My St. Patrick’s dinner at the Center last night was nice. Several attended, and the food was delicious. I didn’t get pinched because I was wearing bright green earrings, but I got to pinch a friend. She immediately ran to find a green beaded necklace to put around her neck. It was a time when everyone forgot about their troubles, and laughed the evening away. I will be attending the luncheon today at the same place, with the last-night left-over’s  made up into Reuben sandwiches, potato salad, and a frozen delight for dessert. After this luncheon I will be anxiously awaiting the Widow and Widower’s meeting tomorrow night at the Pizza Hut. I am making up for all the times I stayed at home, and didn’t want to go anywhere. The more I go now, the more I want to go.

I still have time to do some painting, and work in the yard. I will be posting a portrait of Melania Trump posing in a blue formal, sitting in a Royal type chair at her home in the Trump Towers. I have worked on this piece for quite some time. It was just hard to make the feathers correct, since I didn’t like the way she was wearing her hair. Knowing that this pose was an elegant one, made me understand that the hair could not be flowing like in most of her other shots, but I still wanted to fix it that way. I just didn’t like her expression, but I finally got it somewhat right. Someone needs to take it from me so I won’t be changing anything else. I do like the portrait, and will frame it soon. Until then, keep watching.

God Bless
