Hi Blog,
Here is portrait number one for Siempre, I hope she likes it. I have been working on it night and day so I could post it before leaving for Maine. I am going up to see one of my principals who just retired and has a house overlooking the ocean on Deer Isle. I am bringing my paint box so if anything good comes of the three days on the coast I will post pics next week. I need time away from the phone and bills and stuffa little R&R is always good.

I have to mention that I appreciate the friends I have made here very muchI love you in fact. Whether I hear from you often or just once in a blue moon, my life would be far less rich and beautiful without you. I cant help but get emotional over it. I guess being a Scorpio I feel things deeplymaybe thats just me and has nothing to do with the Stars, I dont know. Maybe its because of recent eventsmy bagpipe instructors husband is near death. He has Parkinsons disease among other problems and it has hit me very hard. My piping teacher is an amazing woman, one of the best pipers in the world and a fantastic teacher. She puts up with my feeble attempts to master the instrument with great humor and encouragementalways ready to point out what I do RIGHT, even if its buried in all the millions of mistakes. I look to her for support when the competition season starts (already underway) and love it when I have her as a judge in a contest. She is ALWAYS fair and makes me want to be a far better piper than I can possibly be. My aspiration is to try and inspire my art students in the ways she inspires me. My heart is breaking for her and pray to my Goddess she and her husband will find peace.

So, my lovelies, I will enjoy some clams and lobsta for you soon. Take good care of yourselves and stay safe. I love you all.

Here you are Siempre...I hope you are doing well. You are constantly in my thoughts and heart...
