0nce again my blog is suffering, I have neglected my postings but I do have a reason.  My husband has been in and out of the hospital this past month.  He is back home now, but his recovery is a slow process.  So for now my blog will take a back seat to him. We have doctor appointments and appointments for tests almost daily.

I had wanted to write a post about my favorite artist's passing, but I didn't get to it.  Thomas Kinkade passed away at a very young age. His work was collected and loved by many who found inspiration in the beautiful scenes that came from his paint brush.  I am sadden to hear how he had fallen into the bottle again and how his life was in such turmoil. I hope he will be remembered for the beauty he created rather then the trouble he had in his life.
