Hope to get the Umbrella out today...

My precious grandson, Russell... Almost 3 months!!!

This is my sweet grandson, Russell.  He is named for his mama's brother, Edgar and for my daddy and brother (David Russell).  They would be so in love with this baby.  He will know their love through my sons  and through me...They would love him so much and be so proud for him to be their namesake...my beautiful, happy, precious grandson...I love you so!!!

Installation Art Lecture...

Just returned from an interesting lecture given by my friend, artist and teacher, Mary Elizabeth Kimbrough, at Space 301. The topic this week was Installation Art.  As usual, MEK, as she is affectionately and widely known, did not disappoint.  I learned some new things tonight and that is always GOOD!  I will see with new eyes when opportunities arise for this modern approach to art. Installation art takes into account the viewer's whole sensory experience.  I want to know more about Kaprow who before tonight I did not know...must read more on Duchamp as well. It is nice to attend an event like this just for the sake of learning and broadening one's horizons.  There is always so much more to know...

Surprise Visit from my First Born...

Powell is here just for the night...he had to come to town as part of his job with the law firm in the Ham...So excited to see him even for a moment!!! 

Lovin' a Rainy Day in Alabama...

It has been raining all morning and into the afternoon...that slow, gentle, soaking rain...so needed!
I love rainy days!

Beautiful...
