So the year away is off for now. I guess that's good because I have some art committments on this side of the pond.<br /><br />But Sally you and I would have a lot of fun in Italy.<br /><br />XO BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-86541651792678892352011-08-21T10:49:43.523-07:002011-08-21T10:49:43.523-07:00Fantastic post and watercolor!Fantastic post and watercolor!Linny D.

I love how you tied it all together. <br /><br />Vacations are hard work, then we come home...and our lives are even busier until we get back into the groove of it all. <br /><br />Yikes.

If the angst lasts, I think it means it's time for a change. Italy for a year anyone?<br /><br />XO BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-42603420562497421772011-08-16T12:22:59.069-07:002011-08-16T12:22:59.069-07:00Hi Josephine,

In fact now what matters is selective remembering. I'm doing my best. Now what was I doing before I sat down to write this?<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-5885759339175587202011-08-15T15:04:07.900-07:002011-08-15T15:04:07.900-07:00I took two weeks and painted outdoors almost every...I took two weeks and painted outdoors almost every day.

Her foot wear looks like mine- are they birkenstocks?- aren't you glad you don't have a thirsty suv to squirt petrol into every 400 km - into its enormous, all consuming, unquenchable tank, (a little hyperbole there) - is that what a full tank gets? Oh well, but they must be handy for transporting large objet d'art.<br />love, Marciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.com
