Spending the Afternoon with Charlene

Here is one of many beautiful watercolors that Charlene has done.  She has won many awards.

Charlene is my good friend, Toni's MOM.  She is such a great lady. 

She is truly an inspiration to me.  She has a wonderful outlook on life and is full of fun.  She is quite an artist, and has a wonderful way of expressing herself.  It is her birthday on the 18th, she will be 80+.  Having some set backs these past few years, she has come out of them unbelieveably.  Charlene, you are the GREATEST!

Toni is a friend I have known forever. .  She really is like a sister to me.  We have gone thru so many things together.  I love her sense of humor.  She always perks one up . .  a life saver!!!

It is always fun to have Sheila around.  All three of us had a fun afternoon together.

Another "Best Day Ever"

My dear friend told me about a friend that was very sick and he was getting worse every day.  She would go visit him and he always looked for something to cheer him up.  Knowing that things would not improve, he would tell her "today is the best day ever".  What inspiration he is.  We don't appreciate what we have until it is gone.  For example . . . "A Bad Hair Day" really is a good hair day . . WE HAVE HAIR!!!!  We need to always look for good and beauty . . . that is one of my goals this year.  This pictures is one of my favorite places - TETONS.  This can cheer one up.

THE BEST YEAR EVER - - - -

It is a new year . ..  so many things to do and try.  My New Year's resolutions are -

Try new and different things, at least once, make a bucket list so I can get started
Become more organized
Be more positive

Wish me luck!!!

Oh and did I say . . . . .  make more quilts???
