We started out the weekend going to the Blues Fest. It is such a fascinating place. There were probably 2000 people there and I swear none of the shop at the same store. I loved being there. The atmosphere was inviting the people were themselves, the weather was warm and breezy. We couldn't stay long but what a great experience.
Saturday it turned hot. I worked outside some but painted most of the day. Then went to see my neighbor Dorothy. Another great day.
Sunday church was outside, a wonderful start to the day. Painted and was pleased. Sat out on the porch and listened to Public Radio

- I am a native of Princeton, Iowa, a small town along the Mississippi. It is a pretty town that I left and was drawn back to. Now I live with my husband in my childhood home. Here is where most of the influential people of my life have lived. Some are still here. Princeton is also like other small towns, full of extraordinary people where a lot of American life happens on a daily basis. Both ordinary and visionary. I bought myself a camera in 2003. The camera became my form of listening because again, I could see the stories and the wishes and regrets and I realized each second of every life is a story. What it has been and what we learn from and what we dream of being. It turns out I am a better listener than storyteller, so I started to paint in 2004. This is how I tell my stories, painting the faces of the activities that tell a story or at least convey a bit of it.
