We spent Sunday afternoon at the Cummer Art museum in Jacksonville, FL. This picture is from the garden that is there. I'm going to use this for my next drawing.... By the way,,,, if you're ever in town, it's worth a visit.

I was tagged......
It's been a busy week. So, here are my 7 things......
1. Raised in IL My parents, my husband & I, and our children, all graduated from the same high school. Jim & I actually raised our children in the same house I grew up in. My parents sold their house in 1972, we bought it for our family in 1980.
2.Married 35 yrs. 3 children, boy, 29 and twin girls, 27. Girls are married, and we now have a wonderful grandaughter.
3. Self-taught in my drawing. I've always enjoyed photography, drawing. I just have not taken the time to get back into it, until now. I also like to read, and you can't draw and read at the same time!
4.Completed my first 10k race at the age of 40. Since then I have completed many more, 5k, 10k, and 3 Disneyworld marathons. My days of long races are over,but I continue to speedwalk 25 miles a week. I actually walked the last 2 of the marathons in 5 1/2 hours.
5.I work 4 full days a week.
6.We live at the beach, so I love to wander over there. We've gotten some wonderful pictures. I once gave a wedding gift to a couple that we know. It was "their" wedding day morning sunrise, at the beach, and then I went to where I could get a great sunset photo that eve. Then I wrote the scripture, "From the rising of the sun, to the going down, the Lord's name will be praised."so I guess you could say I can be creative.
7.I have 2 of my 3 children living in IL. I also have very dear friends in CA. So I am very greatful that I have the ability to travel to see everyone.
