THE GOLDEN RULE 2 and UNEXPECTED SURPRISE

Here the lace is being painted and the edges of the Bible pages. The lace is a slow, laborious process so I do a little at a time to keep from getting bored! But there is something about it I really like, maybe a Zen thing??

UNEXPECTED SURPRISE
Last week a friend from the Carolinas was in Columbus, OH for a few days and called to see if she could get together with my friend and me over the weekend. We drove up on Sunday and met her at a half way spot for lunch. Then we found a quiet place we could sit and chat and critique the paintings she had brought with her. Since we usually only see one another once a year at our yearly painting retreat, this was an unexpected surprise! But, I forgot to bring my camera so cannot show you her paintings (gotta remember to take that thing with me everywhere!).
