Trying to Explain Artist Trading Cards to my husband!

OK.....I'm up at my usual hour.....and Rex is up too. I was reading dear Joanie's blog and telling my husband about the ceiling in her studio landing on her precious artwork.....quilt and ATCs. He looked at me and asked what artist trading cards were. I explained...he laughed.....I smiled! So he walks into the kitchen and then back and says "what if we had medic trading cards?" I love my husband....he loves me. He absolutely does NOT "get" my artwork....and that is okay. I don't "get" the game he plays on his computer. He just started reading "a declaration of war" to me......this is from his game. I heard him talking....picked up on certain words....and finally looked at him and said "I have no clue what you just said to me".

We are both officially on vacation from work. After we drop the kids off tomorrow we are headed somewhere......not sure where yet.....I guess we will just get in the car and see where the road takes us. I love this kind of vacation.....one with no agenda other than enjoying each other's company. One thing is certain....there will be lots of photographs to share!

I hope that everyone has a beautiful weekend full of sunshine, laughter, good company and plenty of smiles!

A New Scar

I'm feeling kind of raw right now. There is a fresh wound on my heart. I let my guard down...I reached out...not knowing what to expect but receiving a response most definitely not expected. An old friend, a confidante, a Man of God. I try so hard to protect my heart...to prevent these lacerations which eventually turn into scars. I realize now that heartache is a part of life....that these scars, old and new, make me who I am....they are a part of me. The only thing I can change is the way I react...pick myself up....dust myself off....and begin a new day.
