Easter
Easter is a time for reflection, resurrection, love…
As I was grilling vegies for the antipasto;
I cut into the large red onion to find this…
With the forecast calling for a gloomy day, we woke to the warm
sunshine. As my dear friend, Marlene, says…it was a honey of a day!
It was a day of bubbles, Easter egg hunts, and PEEPS…
Magnolia cuttings, Hyacinth, and Tulips galore…
Squirt guns became hoses; hoses became soapy tarps to slide on.
The most decadent of the water fun? The washed out recycle bin
became the “hot tub” of the moment…”bring me hot water, please”!
A surprise!
Although I will not be attending the Royal Wedding;
I did get Royal mail...
Tucked inside…a beautifully wrapped piece of art was gifted to me…from my friend across the Big Pond…
Before the company was to go; we were blessed with Max’s show.
Max and his Mouse pals brought Disney to us live, on stage, in the living room!
We cheered, we clapped and we laughed. Oh! what a special little boy he is.
There no longer exists; the piles of dishes, the platters, the pots the pans…
If you weren’t here, you’d never know the muddy clothes and the muddy floors were part of the day.
The Legos, the toys; all in their places.
The Easter grass, jelly beans, and what~nots on the floor have been vacuumed away.
Last, but not least…I hear quiet, only the sounds of the house can be heard.
Everyone, but me, is tucked into bed fast asleep…
Another Easter has come and gone; another day of family, friends who have become family, and love.

Grandparent’s Day

AND YOU WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO WIN A 3 DAY REGISTRATION AT ONE OF OUR 2011 ART RETREATS.
PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK.
IN THE COMMUNITY - Art Is...You - The East and West Coast Art Retreats
On March 11, Japan was hit by the largest earthquake in its history.
The 9.0-magnitude quake and ensuing tsunami swept away entire villages with walls of water more than 30 feet high.
"We are now facing the most tragic [natural] disaster in our country's history," said Kenjiro Ban, World Vision's humanitarian and emergency affairs manager in Japan. As a child-focused organization, we will focus our efforts on responding to the emotional needs of children.
Many evacuation sites do not have enough food for the populations using them, and there are not enough blankets to cope with the cold winter season. Priority needs also include non-food relief items, supplies for babies and small children, support for women, and interventions for children who are separated from their parents, including safe locations they can use, known as Child-Friendly Spaces.

Uncreative…
I’m not sure what causes it or why it happens,
but I knew something had to give.
With one tiny little canvas, 3 bottles of paint and
some very large bubble wrap, I began to play.
There was no rhyme nor reason, just paint, to
experiment, to just simply create.
It was like a wild fire…
The canvas became a Princess, who called her friends.
Some hid behind the door as others thought of Spring.
Yes, that one little canvas made me very happy to have a day of play.

If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations, there must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities, there must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors, there must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home, there must be peace in the heart.

What have I been creating?
The travelling ginger letter…that’s what…
My granddaughter’s
kindergarten teacher has organized for each child to receive 2 letters from the Ginger.
I wish I could see the surprised looks on their faces when they get them.
Ginger sent this from our house…
Dear Madison,
I hope you, your classmates and Mrs. Wengard are having a very good day.
I went to Connecticut to visit my friends. We had a lot of fun and I want to tell you all about it.
My first visit was to the Grandmother’s house.
Look at the beautiful Christmas tree she had.
This decoration made me giggle. 
Do you see me? Do you know who’s inside the bucket?
The next morning, after breakfast, we went to New York City.
I was very excited because I never went to New York before.
Here I am at the American Girl Doll store. 
Your cousin is showing me her favorite Girl, Felicity.
There are a lot of dolls in that store and it is very hard to choose a favorite.
We did a lot of walking. I got tired so I sat on your cousin’s shoulder.
Have you ever been to New York City?
There is a place called Chelsea Market and it has lots of food stores and restaurants.
They have a candy store, a brownie baker, fresh fruit and vegetables, lots of food.
The Food Channel is taped upstairs in Chelsea Market.
My favorite thing was walking through the tunnel of lights 
and all the yummy smells.
We were so tired; we slept all the way home.
Surprise! Look at all the snow we had while we were sleeping. 
I helped Boompa and Annie (the dog) shovel the driveway.
I helped build snowmen 
I’m glad I got to play in the snow on my last day.
When everyone was busy, I went to the Grandmother’s art room.
Look at all the beautiful crayon colors. 
I had a lot of fun in Connecticut and New York City.
Connecticut is very cold,
I am leaving now. I am going to my Grandma’s house before I go back to Mississippi.
See you soon, Madi. Bye!
Your friend,
Ginger
P.S- This is my Grandma’s house. Do you like it?
That’s what I’ve been doing…
