Lots of Art

Today I'm grateful for....



A fantastic Saturday with Josh! We rode the bike downtown to the Art Around the Fountain Fair and saw lots of amazing artwork! Then we went to breakfast, then took the bike down to Zionsville for more art gazing, walking, talking, and disturbing the peace with our loud Harley, lol. I am forever in love with Randall Scott Harden's hay bale paintings, and N.Noell who owns The Sanctuary in Zionsville's elephant, cow, and bull paintings.

An awesome ride with Josh and Billy on Sunday to Kokomo, gorgeous gorgeous weather for riding.

Getting to got to Calli's graduation from 8th grade to high school yesterday, how exciting! ... Calli is going to spend the summer with us which will be lots of fun!

A lovely ride with Josh up to their lake house and then a beautiful outing on the boat. I so love being on the water, I could sit at the edge and look out over the waves endlessly.

Dinner filled with conversation last night with Josh.

Picking Taylor up from her school Kings Island trip last night and knowing that she had a good time, she looked exhausted.

Magnificent flowers blooming everywhere!

My new pottery class that starts on Monday!!!!!!!!!! This is something I've always wanted to do, and I found a class at the art museum that works with my schedule! It meets on Monday nights, eight weeks of class, but they don't have to be consecutive and no make up classes, if I miss it doesn't matter, I just go until I've done eight classes! Fantastic for me since we have so much going on with the girls.

More and more talk about starting a business.

Researching hybrids with Josh, gas prices are killing us. I thought I couldn't afford a car payment, but I'm paying that much in gas every month now! 40mpg looks a whole world better than 14mpg!

My new mini green house which I'm utterly thrilled about! The prospect of growing seeds and creating amazing hanging flowering baskets to sell!

Seconding Jone's great loves, and I'm sooooo grateful for the opportunity to have more than one in a life time.

The picture of Jones and Craig's muddy toes. Whether it was meant to be or not, it felt like a secret hello to me :) btw my kids are now taking pictures of their feet, lol.

My life, where it is at this very moment, and where it's headed.

Planning, setting goals, handling stuff before it happens, which is a very new thing for me (those of you who know me well know that I do things on a whim), ...huge huge step for me, and I'm the one initiating the planning and goal setting!

A nice trip on the bike with Josh up to Michigan City and Valpo on Sunday (june 1). Just he and I, and the open road, so peaceful.

The real probability of Calli moving in with us and making our family whole. We may have another teenaged girl in the mix, what will Josh do then! He'll be in a house with 4 women, definitely out numbered :)

Thunderstorms.

Good things are happening for the people I love.

You my little purple iris, you.
