Inspirational Poetry with Thought-Provoking Imagery

Since last summer I have been designing a variety of collages with varied subject matter and meaning. Although  most of them are Baha'i related, several are purely esthetic or mysterious. Below is the most recent. It is poetry written by Lee Anne Olson. Enjoy!

Below are a few others of my favorites:

I'll post more as time goes by.

It's DECEMBER already!!!!

My goodness, time flies when you're having fun! Well, maybe not fun all the time, but the fun parts are the ones best to remember.

Our kids are heading up to snowing Chicago for the school winter break. Good old Amtrak still seems to be the cheapest transportation from down here in the hinterland. Each girl is spending time with Grandma and Dad for about four-plus days; specifically on their own. Their visits will overlap for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I just know they will keep their animosity in check for two days! (Prayers please!)

While we live here in our little pocket between the North and South, our weather never (!?!?) seems to be very extreme. Watching the recent storm wind its way across the country makes me most grateful for our temperate region. Yes, there are good things about Southern Illinois! Here are a couple of pictures from my friend, Lara, in the Northeast...does it look like where you are?

I will be posting the girls' school pictures sometime over the next couple of weeks. As expected, they have really changed from last year. Beth looks more mature, and Lilly is almost taller than me!

Not much else happening...Jim is in and out of the hospital about every other week. He has lots of tests being done, and fights pneumonia constantly. I would love to get away for the holiday season, but it's not meant to be this year.

Til next time...
