Me with Jack. He likes me.

Lee with Jack. He likes Lee, too.

We've enjoyed lots of performances these last two months.

Watercolor

The beginning of my watercolor phase -or career, maybe! Do you think?

-

Manon Washburn taught and encouraged me at the camp where we stayed last week.

We painted on a table under the trees, and the weather was perfect.

Do you know where this is?

Camp

This is the labyrinth. Find something of significance in nature to you, and in silence walk the labyrinth with it, then contribute it to the center collection.

We are over 7,000 feet at Big Bear on one of the hour long nature walks we took every morning.

Leezza's First Birthday

What I Learned

I spent a week “finding joy” and writing about it daily in my past entries.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. -John 14:11.

In every joyful moment I experienced I saw divine hands, and the hands of people that have been in my life in one way or another. I had to take time to look and appreciate. It was well worth it.

…men are, that they might have joy. -John 15:25
