Hello, fellow creatives! I'm back home from my travels and have a mixed bag of things to report. First the good. I arrived in Lockwood, Missouri on Wednesday the 14th. On the 15th, I had a packed itinerary. I started at the Greenfield, Elementary school that morning, where I got to speak to a student …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #31 – 2026

I am doing a happy dance for the blessed rain we received this past week! It's a welcome break from the brutal heat and long drought. I'm sure we'll have some hot days ahead here and there, but it feels like the spell is broken. I am so thrilled to have gotten "Painting Christmas" up …

Greetings, friends!! Guess what? I'm not going to talk about the weather today. 🙂 Aren't you glad I'm giving that a rest?

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #27 – 2026

Hello, friends! Wow! What a crazy few days I've had. Thank goodness I only turn 75 once. 🙂 AND, the heat persists. We are now on our 29th day of triple digits. Back in 2011, this area set a record of over 70 days straight. I was living in Colorado that year, so I missed …
