| ANOTHER CARD FOR DAD |
I have been meaning to send my dad a thank you note for the Christmas cash he sent me. My dad is 88 and has dementia. At first we thought it was alziemers but it isn't progressing the same, but whatever one calls it, it is about the same. The last time I visited dad(I live 5 1/2 hours away) he was busy coloring thinking he is making investments, very important work. He was only using yellow and I sat with him one afternoon and I got him to explore other colors. You have to understand my dad used to be a cartoon artist, so it is very shocking to see him uncomfortable and unsure of what colors would look good in his picture.
I found this card not finished, it has been misplaced for awhile, it was the very first postcard I ever made. Not really happy with the results it was put away unfinished. So I decided to finish it and send it to him. It will probably sit in his mailbox for awhile until someone reminds him to check his mail, but I feel better for sending it. Hopefully he will see the old cars and smile. |

He will definitely smile!!! My Daddy would sit in his wheel chair and talk and talk. We finally figured out that he was running a town board meeting. At least he was happy in his little world most of the time.

May every blessing be on you and your dad.

About Me: Hi! I am a fiber artist tryig to work on my art everyday of 2007. With doing this I hope my art will evolve and I will learn many new techniques this coming year. My goal is to be able to make my living doing my fiber arts.
I also make my own earrings when I have a need of a new pair.
I am an avid brick collector and belong to International Brick Collectors Association. I try to attend at least one brick swap a year to share my bricks and to collect new ones from all over the country. I am currently working on a hugh brick walk and patio.
Gardening is another love of mine, my yard is getting rather funky in my yard decorating. I go for the unusaul and people come out my way to see what I have added each year. Last summer was green beer bottles for the flower bed edging and bowling ball towers. I have no idea what I will be adding this coming summer.
