She's Got Talent

Always the crafty person, and not in the sneaky sense, our Gerry has embarked on a new hobby. (Now perhaps I shouldn't mention this, but she has several hobbies, thinks my passion for golf is expensive but I would refer you to the inventory of craft paraphernalia, stamping stuff, assorted scrap-booking materials, reams of quilting materials, thousands of dried and silk flowers, not to mention the hobby of caring for grand kids.)


Having said that, she has always had a refined eye and amazes all of us with her abilities to create beauty. In the summer, we have people stop by our house daily to discuss her gardens and to comment on the gorgeous combination of colors.

One of our friends teaches art and invited Gerry to take a week long class in the summer, learning water color techniques and basics. She continues to take classes, generally spending 3 - 4 hours each week with Paula and other new friends in a gallery learning her new hobby. Several weeks ago, I watched her sit at our kitchen table allowing herself to create one of her pictures.


We are all grateful for the beauty that she brings into our lives.

thanks Darlin'
