We just returned from St. John in the US Virgin Islands, and I have to say I prefer that fantasyland versus La Grange, Illinois. I need a home on the beach, ocean, sunset, pool boy, wait staff, chef...LOL anyways...the kids and I had a terrific time and are planning our next excursion before David takes off to NYU. I truly enjoyed laughing and talking with my kids on the sunset cruise. Floating over the ocean in a parasail was amazing. It was if I was over a giant vat of bluish green oil paint. I could have stayed up there for hours. Next time I will have to pay double.
On the artistic front, I finished two of the four paintings for Dixon Law Offices in La Grange, 15+ pieces of jewelry for Amy, and continue to enjoy painting random small pieces while the others are drying! Some of my art will be on display this May in Flossmoor for the Cancer Support Center.
Enjoy the spring green and sun. I am!

The New Year
So far so good, knock on wood. Strange how a year ago, Kurt was coming home from the hospital from a successful stem cell transplant. It still seems surreal.
Thanks to Facebook and this blog, my career as an artist is in full swing. Thank you Susan and Grant at Dixon Law Offices for hiring me to cover your beautiful firm with my paintings. And, Amy for purchasing seven paintings to fill your office! Thus said, I booked a trip for the kids and I to go to St. John.
We plan of having lots of fun this year--to make up for last year. In January I took the kids to see Lady Gaga--she's amazing. Besides USVI we might go to New York for a quick visit--Matthew Settle is in the musical, "Chicago." I can't miss that. Italy or the South of France are on my radar too! Oh, and I can't forget about the Mile High Music Festival in July.
Kids are terrific and working hard with their tough schedules. I'm so proud of them. Madeline starts Badminton soon; David is in Ragtime--the last musical in Chicago for a while! NYU here he comes!
