Vintage Couch Gets a New Friend

My vintage couch in my bedroom (purchased for $50 from my former boss) has a new pillow created especially for me by my dear friend Margarette Mills...it looks great and feels nice and expensive too ...especially since the fabric is $50 a yard! Margarette is working on more pillows for me all out of the goodness of her Big Heart...I got to spoil her some by taking care of her house and yard while she was out of town this past weekend. While doing so, I left some nice surprises for her including a painting to hang in her studio, trimming some shrubs, hanging a bird feeder, and some other little things. Giving is such a wonderful gift, and I had so much fun planning her little surprises! She sure is a special lady and I am glad God has been bringing us together in a wonderful friendship. I will post more pillows as they are complete. OK...I am now going to start cleaning up my studio so that I can start working in there again!

44 Today

Great birthday so far! Last night I thought I was having dinner with one friend but ended up having dinner with eight friends from Christ Church. We all gathered at Miyo's on Forest Drive ...and, at the end they brought out a large coconut cake that my friend had made. That Margarette Mills sure did pull one over on me....it was a very nice evening. Today is my second day of two days off from work. I am having lunch with my friend Pastor Frank Legare, and then I plan to pretty much relax for the rest of the day and evening! I was a cute baby, huh?!

A Little More of Charleston

St. Phillips Church

The Battery

Angel Oak

Some Charleston Color

Bold and Beautiful. And, like many of my paintings, there is an element of three to represent the Trinity.

Not My View

I had a great room at the Francis Marion, but I didn't have a great view like this one from a friend's room on the 11th floor. And, this is just part of the view...it was very nice!
