Sneak Peek

...

For those of you who are family and are expecting a movie in the mail... here is a sneak peek at the cover! For those of you who do not fall into that category here is a look at the cover for the family DVD movie project (obsession) I have been working on for the past three months. It contains photos of the family dating back to 1901 and covering the decades to the present day.

My Mom has created this work of art for the cover ~ thanks a million Mom ~ I love it!

1927

January 29, 1927 twins were born two months premature. Walter Dean born at 11:00 a.m. weighted 2 1/2 pounds and named after their mother's brother. Dorothy Jean born at 11:30 a.m. weighted 3 1/2 pounds and named after their father's sister. They were early, they were tiny and they were kept warm in their shoe box beds by the wood stove.

Walter was born with an enlarged heart and when he was two and a half years old the measles and the whooping cough went through the house, he passed away.

Dorothy... this is our first your birthday without you here with us... we miss you... we are a bit lonely... but we are ok... we are taking good care of each other. We love you. Happy Birthday!

I Can See Clearly Now

The rain is gone. Well we have not seen rain in some time, in fact we have not even seen any fresh snow. But I sure do like this song.

Currently listening to "I can see clearly now the rain is gone" by Johnny Nash ~ such a great song, then, now, always!

Framing Projects

I have recently cut the mats and framed the photos of my Grandpa & Grandma Wink's high school graduation photos and the photo of my Grandma's parents on their wedding day. The newest editions to my family walls of smiling faces.

Breath ~ Part Two

Breathe life into your dreams, filled with wild and mystical creatures. Add a breath of sweet savory fresh air in your life. Let the fresh air roll into the room and across the floor, over what once was an old dream that can now have a new life. Breathe in a life healing breath.

Breath

The sound of her fluttering breath, as she finally turns a listening ear his way, causes him to falter as he repeated his assurances and begged her indulgence.

Cleaning the Garage


While cleaning the garage during the Christmas break look what we found... thank you Amway for the great product name.

We have also taken down the old and stupid metal shelves, put up new cabinets and a great work bench with a light. Before and after photos will be posted soon. Not to mention all the junk, stuff and crap we have jettisoned from the garage in the past week.

What a great feeling to be free from the material snippets of left over waste.
