Happy Memorial Day!

To all who serve or have served in the military, Thank you!  Today my husband and I remember and are thankful for his father and six of my brothers who served in the military.

Recently I have joined a newly formed group of artists and quilters.  I am really looking forward to learning from each of them and forming new friendships.  This is something I have wanted to do for a  while now.  I think it is important to learn from others and be stretched in new ways.  I have found that I've been in a rut lately and this is providing new energy for me.  Organizing myself to work on different aspects of art and textile work throughout the week has also been so helpful in getting things done.  Each day starts with Bible Art Journaling and then I am either teaching, working on some form of art work or piecing the next quilt.

Steve has completed another year of teaching and administrating at the University level.  Yay!  He is enjoying a little more relaxed schedule.

LeAnna and Brett are both winding down another year of teaching.  I am so proud of both of them.  LeAnna had an opportunity to teach in Phoenix but decided to stay in San Diego and remain at the school she has been teaching in.  Brett was named Coach of the Year in the League he coaches in.  What a great accomplishment.  He and his new wife are moving into an apartment this week in Livermore as he sold his house in Stockton.  Lots of things going on and all good.

May your days be blessed!
