I'm going to a birthday party for a friend who's turning 40 today... I'm not much a party girl, but, God knows, I need to be with friends more. I remember turning fourty, and it was a wonderful party with a house-full of friends. So that's what it's all about, friends who you love and who love you. What better gift than that?

Happy Birthday, Mandy!!!!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference...

Oranges, grated coconut, and cherries; ambrosia was a dessert salad my mom made that I loved as a child. Ambrosia is the name I gave my pet Indian ringneck parakeet. I enjoyed having her for 9 years before she flew away because I hadn't kept her wings clipped and had her outside with me. That was the summer I let my husband fly away as well. He came back, tho'.
...He flew away forever last year.

"the Laughing Jaguar" is a montage of elements captured in a photo: an acrylic painting of a Quetzal bird flying over Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, a kid skateboarding off a bag of Funyuns onion chips I designed, sitting on the easle in front of another canvas with the word "fun" spelled out in string and a Funyuns onion chip floating just under the grinning painted wooden mask of a jaguar, hanging from the top of the easle. It was composed in 1994.

It's a beautiful day...sunshine...working...I am so thankful to be able to work in a peaceful environment, in a free country, where I can make use of my talents and abilities and have enough food, clothing, shelter and enjoy relatively good health. Thank you, God, for this day and for your Love.

And so...

I've paid the plumber to fix a water leak and treat mold under my house, and now I'm broke!!!
But it's a sunny afternoon, and I have food, clothing, shelter, fairly good health, groovy pets, some wonderful friends, loving family...it's a beautiful day...
Thank You, God, for all this. It's all Yours and for You...as am I. I love you, because You Love me.
-Psalm 139

I'll go now...
