color me happy

thank you four painters who came in and did their job

quickly, beautifully, and sometimes so quietly you could hear a drop of paint

falling on the rug

bless this house and how it looks with so much less in it

kiss my husband who said yes to so many changes and put forth so much

effort to help make it happen

bless old friend & contractor Mike who did such good jobs too and came by

to see the painters work completed and hauled off a truck load of unwanted wood from

our garage and will come back for more

thanks to neighbor Dave for all he did in adding to this new look; and computer help

last night to a frantic me who feared I'd kill my computer access

but with his help did not, making it possible to while away the day out side and still online connected, and for coming by to see the new shine

and adding his affirmations

Bless friend Patty who called and said she'd take me to Wal-Mart to get

the right cleaning tools and products to keep it all looking nice

and for encouraging me to spend my money now

because I can't take it with me when I die

thanks to friend Cris who e-writes me and listens to every move and sneeze

throughout the day and helps me keep on track

in all ways

^^^^^^^^

an added blessing came today when for the first time since hanging my art

in the town square library i went to visit it

and the librarian at the front desk remembered me

& told me many people commented on my art

and she even xeroxed my bio info

for some one who asked!

well I just have to say

that felt darn good to hear!
