In three more posts I will publish my 1,000th post on this blog!
I have been blogging since June 2009. Five years and 4 months.
On Nov 9 I will celebrate my 75th birthday. I find these two memorable events come quite close to one another.
Looking back at my first blogs and re-reading some of them I see that my friend Paulette Jensen has been following this blog for ALL 5 years! What a loyal follower!!! Paulette was my FIRST teacher the fall after I retired. And her wonderful introduction to watercolor has spun me off into a delightful art-infused life in the 15 years that followed. And she never stopped supporting me!!! Thank you Paulette!!!
I also thank my daughter, Julie, who introduced me to blogging and got me set up that first year. She's been a great support also and we even went to CZT training together last June! All 3 of my kids have been huge supporters of my work. I am so grateful to them. And to my dear sister who hangs my art all over her house! And to my super great husband who tirelessly loads up my art supplies twice a year and treks them cross country so I can enjoy them…encourages me to try new things…carries my framed art to shows, drags my bags of "stuff" to workshops, and gives me space to create wherever I am! Lucky me.
You're a Gem of a friend.....wish we could see each other one of these days. Stop in Bristol anytime! I wouldn't miss your blog for anything!
