I can't believe it has been just short of a year since I posted. Life has a way of getting complicate at times and before you know it, you have lost track of time and purpose and need to re-center. I have continued with my art and travels, taking a beautiful trip on Halloween week through Northern California from Mt. Shasta to Mt. Lassen, through Reno, up to Boise and back to Vancouver, WA taking in the beautiful fall colors and awesome scenery. I have trips to Virginia and Idaho coming up and have a trip planned to climb Mt. Whitney in California in August. I was accepted to teach three evening classes at Art and Soul Retreat in Portland this fall (see above). Art and Soul has a vast assortment of great classes to take - here is a link (http://www.artandsoulretreat.com ). Life is busy, but good and I will be more diligent in keeping everyone up to date
