From my walk in Strasburg PA.

A good client, Don T. has been collecting my work since 1997 and has 32 originals and prints.
He has downsized to a smaller apartment and is in his late 80's and continues to buy!



Blessing update:  Today was my 5th Chemo disconnect day and it was so nice to come home to MORE blessings...
A box of whoopie pies from Leia and John K.   An inspiring book from Rose Ellen.  And from Trish K. away in Maine she is thinking of  me and brings back a hat!


And in the mail was this special gift from Siobhan and George O.  This was a family project,  Siobhan came up with the idea, George came up with the colors and Dottie (Siobhans Mom) actually made it!  The colors are UCI World Championship Cycling colors with the main color changed to black so I don't get the slippers dirty!  How cool is that!!!  A HUGE THANK YOU to EVERYONE!

Some dark red hellebores. I am learning my flowers!

Health Update: Chemotherapy #5 I am on my way back from a pit stop, Linda thought a photo of me standing was a welcome change from the lounge chair shots! Again I came home and needed a nap. Within a few hours my taste buds go wacky making water taste funny and it is hard to drink. Also I have to force myself to eat. Nothing tastes good. But that is all manageable. I will lay low all this week.







































Blessing update: Thank you Nancy & Ray B. for the soup and bread, it helps me get through my chemo week!

Fridays dinner arrived from Mary Beth & Chris  B.  I started eating my fabulous steak sandwich before I remembered to take a photo!  She got them somewhere in West Chester, maybe I was hungry but it was the best!!


Saturday Tracee & Ruth brought soup and Ted & Robert brought fresh sour dough bread! oh my...


And then our dear friend Joan K, who knows NO limits brings so many bags of food...   4 meals, 2 salads and bread from our favorite restaurant Lemoncello. For that she gets a big HUG!! She brought Linda 4 bottles of wine (I may not drink right now...)  But I got fresh squeezed OJ and Evian water.  Cheese & crackers, mini cakes and flowers... we will be feasting for days!

From my Lancaster city walk, this is on N. Mulberry St.
I am having a good time painting "city" scenes.


Andy Walkers Update: Wednesday's walker was Todd F.
Todd actually lives just down the street from me and we first met when Abbey was in Elementary school in the early 90's, Todd was a music teacher. I really only know him well enough to wave  and say hello when he walks by and we have seen him play trumpet a few times. He plays a mean trumpet. He saw on Facebook I needed walkers and reached out. We had a great walk and spent most of it chatting about music, I totally enjoyed the conversation.

A window from Ireland today...

Andy Walkers Update:  My Tuesday walker is my good buddy Rick B.  (well known around town!)  We go back to the early 80"s when he had his animal hospital in his back yard building (ok, it had been a garage!)  We took our sick kitty to him and became instant friends.  I LOVE his sense of humor and he always has me laughing.  Oh the stories we could tell!  He has always been there when I needed a little help.  And no bikes are involved in our friendship.  We love his wife Karen equally!   Rick showed up at my door with a "Waiver of Responsibility" for Linda to sign before walking me.  Linda was almost crying with laughter. He took me to the Welsh Mountains for a nice hike in the woods.  I almost forgot I was walking!



Blessing update: Blessings are still pouring in! Thank You Jim G.  for the pears (he knows I like to paint and eat pears and he know the way to Linda's heart is spiced jelly beans, he calls them her stress relief!   Also arrived is a beautiful heart with a paintbrush made by Janet in Pittsburgh.
I will give her a little plug...click here to see her work!


Tonight's meal was delivered from Rose Ellen (this is her 3rd time!)  She has gone above and beyond.
Big hugs to her.

2023  Flower #5  SOLD!  

A client requested something with daffodils so this was for her..
Linda had these tulips and daffodils on the kitchen table.

Blessing update: 
Sent from someone special in NJ, thank you Paul M. for the lemon goodies!
