It's December 3rd, 2014

Good morning, this is the first time I've posted in this blog for many months.  I started a new blog names, Paintings I love to share...but for some reason no one has come to visit.  So I thought, I don't want to lose all my old friends so I'm back using this one. 
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and looking forward to Christmas one of my favorite times of the year....it's the giving to others and celebrating Christ Jesus' Birthday that make this one of my  two most favorite times to Celebrate. The other one is of course, Easter!!
now to share some of my paintings and the new jewelry I've created most of which I plan to give as gifts.

Good morning, I've been really busy creating new paintings for sale.  Thought I share some with you, hope you like them!

I got my new glasses after 9 whole years...it's amazing what I've been missing. 

We've had 3 days in a row with temps of over 95 degrees...hot and humid not good for us older folks or those with breathing problems.   I'm just so thankful for being about to get up out of bed each morning, and still being able to drive on good days...I'm keeping all my friends close in prayer, and hope you all are having great days with joy from God in your heart...blessings, Bevie

I'm so happy Spring is here!

Many of us are so happy to see warm weather after the severe cold we had here on the East Coast. Living up here in the mountains of VA we saw more snow than those living in the City.  Shoveling is something I can't do anymore, and it's difficult for Dewey to do now days.  Sure would be great if our grandsons would come help once in awhile.  Seems they are always too busy, so we just don't ask...and it's not as if we don't offer to pay them...heheh  
Ok I've been having a problem with my balance and little mini strokes....so driving and walking around is really difficult.  So sitting and working at the computer and painting is what I do most...those little dust bunnies are running all over the house these days, course Dewey tries to help.  Poor guy is such a great helper...always remembers to help me out of the car, and hold my hand when crossing the street...gets the heavy stuff out of the car after he takes me to the grocery store.  Sigh!!  I hate to be such a bother, but he assures me he doesn't mind...Could I be more blessed, NO. We have gotten closer as time goes by...I can't believe we've been married almost 31 years.  

Just a couple photos of some recent paintings and zens...Blessing to all my friends who find time to stop by. 
Peace and grace!

God took our mom home today!!!

This is Mom with my daughter Missy I took when visiting her in Winchester Hospital...Today we have said our goodbyes for a brief time for we know we will see her again in all her Glory when we step over into heaven.  My brother Bill, called all of us to say she was struggling and her time might be near.  About an hour later Dewey and I got to Greenfield home where she's been living for the past few years.  She was a little disoriented, but was still able take sips of water...a little later, that wasn't the case so I knew her time was near...her breathing was labored, but she said she was fine.   At 3 am today our Lord came to take her home. We are praising HIM the ease in which she passed...we will mourn her loss, but knowing in our hearts she's with God, and we will see her again.
I hold all my family close as we go through the coming days...God will give us strength and peace through it all...
I want to take all those who have giving such thoughtful comments on FB...you are true friends indeed...Blessings to all.

This was taken here at home during Christmas 2 yrs ago.

Hello to all

It's still very cold here in Cross Junction VA...last snow fall measured 20 inches... some flurries fell over the weekend, but nothing that caused more problems on the road.  Since I'm unable to drive till I get my hip replaced, Dewey has been taking me where I need to go.  Visited my sweet doctor last week who has ordered me a lift-recliner...and a walker with wheels, brakes and seat...Now all I need is the strength to walk..ehehhe   Actually I'm getting around better than last week when I had another fall...these little mini strokes have caused me be unstable on my feet...I know once I get started on therapy I'll get stronger...Can't keep an old gal down for long...hehehe!!!  I continue to enjoy painting...just finished a small 8x10 Abstract this morning, and plan to do some more barns later on in the week...  Hope you all are having fun creating the kind of art you love.  For me it's been snowscapes and landscapes this winter...I haven't done Zentangles since I did the 9x12 ones that I framed...they are so much fun to do....I was wondering if many of you enjoy creating them too???  I pray for all you who have been dealing with harsh weather too...please stay safe and warm...Blessings to all my blogging friends out there~~
