Sold these two today to a couple of sisters that were having such a good time with each other.

Sometimes it seems unfair to be having such a fun time making your living. Made them a pitcher of berry and fruit tea and shared my nest of 3 baby hawks right outside the window of kitchen along with a bit of life. Then this evening went to a Sunday School cook out and had continued joy.

Outsourcing

The best outsourcing that I do is having Daisy to clean my house and gallery every two weeks. She is trusted and perfect for the job. I always make a new and different drink in my valued commercial blender as we talk over life for 20 to 30 minutes. Oh yes, we both are into American Idol and have our favorites. My second favorite outsourcer is my yard man of 14 years, consistent and dependable. One day had a tree service top my 65 large Oaks and as the workers balanced on small limbs with chain saw in hand, my youngest Son came by and said "whatever you are paying them, Mom, it isn't enough!". Great outsourcers they were. And, also use a plumber for those types of jobs. But, the art is all my baby. Have built my web, my newsletter, take my own photos, crop, size, send via internet into the competitive world, frame, crate, varnish, etc. etc. And, I love most every minute of it. This is the painting going into the GAP Show that is being held with the traveling National Watercolor Show:
