Thomas Kinkade Thursday ...


I decided to speak of my favorite painter of "Light", Thomas Kinkade for today's post. I love every painting this man has created. He has just the right angles, correct lighting,  the most beautiful scenes for all of us to enjoy.

I recently watched THOMAS KINKADE: THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hoping you take the time during this holiday season to enjoy a Christmas movie like this one.

Do you have a favorite artist? painter? musician? actor? And why?

  3. I love Monet's work. The softness always calms me. I love the poetry of Helen Steiner Rice for her words always speak directly to me. My favorite musician is and will always be Elvis. His voice is just magical and my whole world stops spinning at the sound of his controlled and
    perfect singing.

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont.

At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated
