It seems lately that I have been at loose ends. I go to work at 5:30 a.m. and get home about 2:30 p.m.. I don't like to feel like the "Groundhog Day" movie, where you get up and the same thing happens every day. Every thing becomes to predictable.
Well I was prowling around in some of our stuff, you know the kind of stuff that you find at yard sales or auctions, and you're are sure you will never use these things but you keep them anyway. On one of the shelves was an art set that we had found somewhere, so I decided I would paint something. Well I have never had a brush in hand, as you can probaby tell, but I became totally lost in my painting efforts. John was very complimentery, but I secretly thinks he thinks I have gone nuts.
I have always felt that I must have a talent for something, but I have just never found it. I took music lessons for 9 years when I was a kid and I swear to you about the only thing I remember is where middle C is. This has always been a big disappointment since most of my family was very musical. My Dad could play just about any instrument and so could my older brother. I'm still looking for my special talent. I also feel that everyone has at least one book in them. I have two or three chapters of two or three books in my head but nothing on paper. Seems when you start to write it down you can't get it from the brain to the pen. Maybe that will come when I'm older and have less clutter upstairs:)
Anyway I am going to share my pictures with you. If I paint anymore you will be the first to see. Don't laugh, just shake your head and say "What in the world was she thinking".

You really painted those? I am impressed. The top one is that old robin egg blue vase that we have had forever, isn't it?
That happens to be a Fenton vase which is very collectable now since Fentons is no longer in business. That may be part of your inheritance so don't sell it for 50 cents at a yard sale.
