Here's a painting of my grandmother. She has been gone for 40 years. I was 9 years old when she died. She lost 9 children to various diseases. My father was the youngest and the only survivor to get married and have children. She was born to love and sacrifice herself for the family. Toward the end of her life she had alzheimer's disease. I was not nice to her when she couldn't understand things. I was very sorry after she died.

In the painting, she is trimming wild onions she collected for family dinner. She, my siblings and I used to go out to pick wild vegetables and clean them together. Such beautiful memories in the family ❤

Room 134 is one of the king rooms. The carpet is new. We just installed a new chair-height toilet. Four original paintings of mine are displayed in this room. I like this room very much - almost feel like sleeping in this room tonight. Mmmm... cozy, cozy 😴

This is the newest painting done by me. It was painted for Brenda Shelby, my mother-in-law, for her 80th birthday. The beautiful lady holding the baby is Brenda 64 years ago. The baby is Pam, Brenda's first child, and my husband Paul's oldest sister. The lady with beautiful smile is the baby 17 years later. Pam passed away several years ago, but stays in Brenda's and family's hearts. The name of the painting is "Hi mom."

Dear Guests and friends. Paul and I got married on May 20. We are on honeymoon. We left Murray, flew to Chicago, and went on an Amtrak train to San Francisco. We have traveled beautiful places in California and Oregon. Now we are on a train from Klamath Falls, OR to Portland, OR to get on another train to Chicago. We are having so much fun. God has blessed us so much. Very, very, very grateful.

Today, I was at the payment window at McDonald's in Murray to get lunch. The cashier said the lady in the white van in front of me paid for my lunch and said "happy new year." I was not fast enough to wave at the lady to thank. I have wondered who she was. A friend? A stranger? Whoever you are, thank you so much. Happy new year to you too! Sending love to your kind heart ❤

Her name is Brownie. It's her first time walking on a leash. She was nervous at the beginning, but did very good job until my dog Channing got jealous and mad at her. He pushed her back into the coop. I believe he will understand sharing the backyard with them. The leash will give her and her friends more room to roam around.
