Art History

One of the interesting things about Mom's is all the art on the walls. This one is signed by Lionel Barrymore. After looking on the internet, I learned that he is Drew Barrymore's father. In addition to acting, he studied art in Paris, and did etchings like this one, called "Quiet Waters".

We now have lights on the tree and the ornaments go on tomorrow. I finished three placemats for Mom and have one yet to go. I realized I haven't been good about sharing a Christmas wish list this year. For those of you at a new school or location, I would like a coffee cup for my collection. I take turns with them for my morning coffee and think fond thoughts about the giver. I just bought a pincushion pattern that calls for crushed walnut shells (found at pet stores). It makes a great filler. I think a picture of R, L and A done by Duane F. would be especially lovely. New nightgowns, a quilt charm for my bracelet, and garden clogs (size 8 1/2,

or 9 , or whatever surprise you think of would bring a smile. I'm just glad to have you here.

Drive safely.
