So how is 2026 going?

To answer my own question...it's been challenging. Mostly keeping my spirits up and not getting depressed about what's happening in our country. IFYKYK

And let's talk about gaining 7 lbs. since March. :( I've finally reached a point where I've always said "I can't see myself getting to that point"...and here I am. Possibly see paragraph #1. But also, I stopped walking....not good. Partially because of the PsA that stretched into laziness. Oh Lordy!

Now for something positive...my painting has improved and I'm proud of the work I put out. This year has been slow as far as commissions, but I've done several donations and gifts, which is fine with me. Some of my latest...


These are for the PEAS October fundraiser, which are always appreciated.

They do such good work by rescuing abused farm animals.

I hope I'll be able to walk around there by Oct. 11.



I talk to Beth several times a month, but it's about once every 3 months with Marcia. Just still very disappointed with who she is. I don't eve like to talk about it, but it's on my mind a lot.

Not really in the mood to write in depth...so I will close for now.
