Your artwork combined with all you love makes for some wonderful things...love how you are putting it all together in your cook book too!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-26055641901364715072016-02-25T10:53:36.788+00:002016-02-25T10:53:36.788+00:00Ohhh your lovely avocados. I could eat one right ...Ohhh your lovely avocados. I could eat one right now myself. I am of mixed mind concerning my art. I both love it and loathe it. I love it because it springs from my heart and whimsical mind . . . but a part of me loathes it because it makes me think I could or should be successful with it and yet . . . I am not. I have been brought high and kicked low so many times with it. Had high hopes and then been squashed. So now I don't know. Artists crave recognition of their work and when it isn't, you feel just not good enough and it's a bit of a depressing thought! I am so grateful for reading and the fact that all my children, even the one who has learning problems can read and read well. It's a good thing! Happy day to you! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-37751745606890568532016-02-25T09:43:47.672+00:002016-02-25T09:43:47.672+00:00Good Morning Marie. I adore your paintings and am...Good Morning Marie. I adore your paintings and amazingly they are the only pictures that have come through on my post! So today they were special indeed. Sadly we need the rain drops I look forward to the day when they come gently down.<br /><br />Onto reading. I have studied how children learn to read and to me it remains such a magical process. The human brain is so clever. We present this information to children and bit by bit it builds and one day we have a reader. I always knew Beth would be fine but poor old Will. It took until he was 12 for it to "click" and he practices his hard won literacy daily, Pip loves a book too. Beth thanks me now that I had books everywhere and she now spends time every weekday dealing with those who struggle. The beauty of reading is that we as humans can read such diverse alphabets etc and process some difficult language rules in plenty. Another reason God is real.<br /><br />Today we ate out at lunch. I told the server what I could not have. He went and checked with chef and the food still made me sick! So tonight I am eating half a banana and some avocado on toast! <br /><br />God bless your day.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.com
