The slab is finished

Today the rest of the slab was poured. I think it's 24X25 feet. Tomorrow the framing will begin.

a Long Time Coming.....

Today the first load of concrete was poured. It's going to look a lot like a garage but it will be my studio, my place to work, create and teach. It's hard to believe that's it's been almost 14 years since I put my kids in the car and left almost everything I owned. But they were just things. I saved what was important.

It's all in the way you see things.

Our friendship began in high school, 43 years ago. We shared some of the most traumatic times of our lives as well as some of the most wonderful times. She knew more about me than anyone and I trusted her with that knowlege. No matter how long it had been since we had spoken our visits picked up as if we had seen each other the day before. Her courage and strength were amazing. Her faith was unwavering. Her love for family and friends had no limits.
Sue left this life on February 4, 2009. I called her husband that evening to ask him to tell her that I loved her. He said, "Sue is gone". I was in shock. There wasn't much sleeping done that night or in the nights since. I tried to rationalize, telling myself that he meant she wasn't in the room. It has taken 3 days for me to get to the part of accepting
I am comforted by the understanding that Sue will forever be a part of every person who who's life she touched. I was fortunate to know her. Her memory will be with me even though she is not.
