It's funny how you don't know that you're cute when you're young, but everyone is. I think that all the time looking at my students -- if only you knew how absolutely lovely you are, and there they are consumed with sadness because they don't think they're pretty, or handsome, or good enough. When in fact they are all sheer perfection.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-43783793739021789332009-07-25T09:23:37.891-07:002009-07-25T09:23:37.891-07:00Hi Gwen,

I was on a business trip to Calgary, Alberta (our true west) and bought a small<br />pair for my older son when he was about five, but that's the last pair we had in our house. Your dad was smart. Hand made boots and shoes must<br />be the ultimate in comfort.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-87667143101767547802009-07-25T09:20:19.064-07:002009-07-25T09:20:19.064-07:00Hi Liza,

It just gorgeous. Love all that red peeking around the corners. You're on a roll with your Still Life paintings. Everything you paint has your bright sunny mark on it.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the boots. My Dad, the true Texan he was, always had his boots handmade and the 1st thing he would do is dunk them in a bathtub of water then put them on wet so they would form to his feet.

One of my classic lines with my friends when they recount a terribly sad story is, "what were you wearing.?" They always tell me, then we laugh. I guess in some ways I'm shallow, plus as a visual being, the visual is always vivid to me.<br /><br />My life is not always lovely, there<br />are some sad, sad parts, just like anyone else's, but I am lucky to be a happy person, living with people who like to have fun.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comment, your work is great.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-19934405240391182692009-07-23T10:37:01.644-07:002009-07-23T10:37:01.644-07:00Wow Barbara, you certainly remember the details.

My mother has to call me and tell me that it is my anniversary. lol I think it has something to do with being an airforce brat. Your life sounds lovely. All that creative, messy, fun, family, organized chaos. Also, I like the start of your fruit bowl.

Did I mention that we have children, and animals? Did I mention that my older cat yells for an hour when my husband leaves for work and drags socks through the house like presents? Bills, worries, all of the normal things get to us as much as anyone else. I am sure some of our friends would hoot to hear us described as a romantic pair. But we are nontheless. There are, in my experience, lots of couples who've been in love for a long time. Some, like us, have even had therapy to learn how to be happy.
