Haven't posted here for a while. Have had an art show since last posting and was my first time there. It was ArtFest in Spokane and was a very nice show. We we're exhausted before, during, and after but got through it and had a great time. Met some very nice people. Brown's Addition, Coeur d'alene Park is a lovely area.

We had to cancel our yearly party which would have been this next weekend. Many many reasons to do so and are relieved.

We have completed planting a veggie garden for the first time in a few years. With Mike's normal wildland firefighting job, he just couldn't do it. We have also planted a couple more apple trees and some other things. Things are looking like our little paradise out there.

The art gallery we had planned to open by the end of May didn't happen yet. It will be a couple more months possibly before we can now. The art and nature retreat will be down the road another year or two. But, the vision is clear! We WILL do these things.

Life is good. And it is supposed to be!
