Big Day for Little Horse

We’re considering a name change for our little Palomino mini-horse, Nutmeg. Today, she fearlessly and ferociously sprung into action to protect her pregnant Jersey pal, Maizy. What did our little “gunner” do?

Shocking (cont.) http://www.raisingjane.org/journal/2017

The next morning Meg was back in the ER with chest pain. There was a moment while we were waiting for the elevator that I was no longer the picture of calm. Meg said, “Momma, if my heart is threatening to go haywire, I need to remain calm. And SO DO YOU.”

Shocking

Good morning St. Paul. Here we come! http://www.thecreativeconnectionevent.com/ (Stunning view from my hotel room.)

The first event, a luncheon with three speakers was everything and more. Humor, tears, and all things international. Women are one world! Their business advice and presentations were perfect.

All Lay and No Play

“lay and no play … makes Jane a dull girl” was the title of this piece of artwork I picked up at last Saturday’s Farmers’ Market. The Artist is Julene Ewert, http://www.presentbydesign.com/ who recently graduated from the University of Idaho with a degree in graphic design.

(Psst, she grew up in a small town in a family of artists. She said her inspiration comes from nature.)

Not only did I love the title of this piece, but it was made using thin layers of beeswax.

Gonna Get Married

Ooooh, I really love you …

My graphic designer, Denali, was married last Saturday.

This tale starts at the end of the event/day, or would that be the beginning? For Denali and Andrew, it’s the beginning but it’s the end for me because she’s moving.

(However, we’re going to give “remote work” a try. Did you know that entails leaving a computer set up here just for her so that when she’s working at home, remotely, her computer here is tied up? We’re calling her computer the Ghost of Denali.)
