Preparation
I'm currently trying to prepare my art images for a showing the first weekend in June. This is quite an education as it is my first juried art show. You never really know how photography will be received so I'm trying to make very careful selections for display. It seems as though this past year my businss is making changes. These are good changes and I'm having fun with them. It just seems a little weird for me at this time.
I'm excited that more people are hiring me to paint their images in photography and to help restore their memories in the same manner. It has been very rewarding.
SO - - come join me for "Art Fusion" at the Factory in Frankin, Tennessee on the weekend of June 4th.

Nashville Area Flood of 2010
I want to take this oportunity to talk about the great city of Nashville and the residents and the wonderful people in my small community of Kingston Springs. I'm proud to call KS home.
This awful and totally unexpected flood came in so quickly that many didn't have time to get out of their homes. Some of those that were able to escape, witnessed their home wash away and break apart while all of their belongings were scattered God knows where.
Now, during this tragedy - - -people who have lost all of their belongings and in some cases their homes; consider themselves lucky to have escaped with their lives. While some are tearing out floors and "trashing" their furniture and belongings due to mold - they consider themselves lucky. Even some of these people are helping their neighbors. Imagine looking for a place to live and have nothing to move into it. Simple things like towels and sheets or even a bed.
The stories can go on and on and on. My entire point is that all of these people and their friends, family, neighbors and people of the community are jumping in to help others. I've never witnessed anything like it. No one complaining just counting their blessings. Everyone could complain, but instead they are thanking others for any help and support. EVEN manning a lost and found! They are thanking us for that small gesture. No one waited for outside help. The calls go out and someone is there. I can't stress enough the wonderful spirit of our community. I'm proud to live and work here!
For all of the people affected by this flood - - -my prayers are with you. Thank you for your great spirit and for those who just jump in and help - you are the greatest.
