happy friday, my friend.

how are you?

how is it friday, by the way? 

what's up today?

i'm just catching up on a bit of this and a bit of that.

it feels good.

plus i'm making room to actually paint. 

i seem to have stacks of paper and books on every flat surface of the studio.

something has to give. :) 

anyhow

i decided this week that i would work away at photographing the treasures we've been so blessed by.

i believe this old bottle is from the farm.  john rescued it.

if john were here he would remember...

we have also found some lovely old bottles at carols.

so as i type this i am wondering? the farm? or carols?  hmmmm. :)

such simple loveliness.

i'm so thankful for the antiques that have just found their way here...

'sigh'

i know you feel the same way about your old treasures.

true love. :)

hope you are well....

talk soon, kim

hi there,

i am not sure if you are on the road already.... but i was hoping to have caught you here...

wishing you safe travel.

trusting God will surround you all with lots of love and comfort

and trusting everything will be okay.

i will most certainly miss you.

but i'm happy to know you will be popping onto your laptop now and then to check in.

(don't foreget your power bar - just speaking from experience)

sweet john was busy, busy cleaning up on the porch the other day.

he scrubbed down the rockers, washed the porch floor,

and cleaned up some of my treasures too.

i am so blessed.

i just had to take a pic of 2 of my favorite things.

john is now home from work.  we have a date with the porch swing.

it's like totally warm out there!  like totally! :)

so i best sign off for now.

again, safe travels, my friend.

see you soon, through the screen.

for now... bye bye...xxo, kim
