Pammie, Sandi Patti has touched the hearts of so many of us......even ‘unbelievers’.

Thank you for that beautiful music, my dear FRiend!

Here is another (with over a million views), with one of my favorites - HOW GREAT THOU ART:

Don’t you just love him? What a wonderful guy he is and he loves his God and he wants everyone to know it.

It gets me angry when those few people make all kinds of fun of him. If I were them, I’d be afraid of where I was going after I die.

How great! ..I always admired Dan Reeves..

I am not really a Broncos fan..but I enjoyed watching Tebow today..

That overtime win was so much fun..the Steelers tying the game no fun at all.
God bless Tebow.

A couple of my kids have painting I did decades ago. I can paint a little but cannot draw.

dumb as that sounds its the medium of paint I can deal with, charcoal is also good for me, ask me to draw a picture, good luck, Oil painting is quite forgiving as mistakes are easily redone as it takes the paint a while to dry so you can do over what you don't like...Hubby wanted me to take a stain glass class with him, and I said only if you take oil painting with me...He had talent for oil, but wasn't crazy about painting...His pictures were beautiful....I did do stained glass with him and loved it, but it is an expensive hobby, easy to do, but it is just a matter of practice, practice practice...2 of my son's made windows. You can learn everything necessary in a pretty short period of time....

We used copper foil method and I (hate to brag) but took first price at the county fair in Armada one year, his window took 3rd prize....Each one of my kids has a window I have done, but have a 3/4 done window in the basement that I haven't worked on in years....Started it for the picture window in the last house I lived in....I guess when I am done with something, I am really done with it....:O)

Acrylic paint is a lot like working in oils, but it dries much faster...

You were complaining because you couldn’t do graphics and now we find out you’re an artist in your own right. Painting is quite an art and I wish I had that talent. Stick figures are my best....LOL! And when we were little we could always draw a house with the windows and door and a little sidewalk. I bet we all did that one.

Wish you were still painting but nice of you to pass your expensive brushes on to your granddaughter. Each person on earth has some little specialty and now we know what your big specialty is and its your painting. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you for the Sandi Patti songs.
I’ve got some of her LP’s and tapes. Love to listen to her proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in song.

Thank you for your kind reply...I really don't consider myself an artist, just dabbled in it for a couple of years. But when my granddaughter that got accepted into U of M fine art department I was thrilled..

.when she use to come to spend the night, I'd drag out my oils and we would both paint the same picture...(easy one I could teach her with.) I like to think maybe I influenced her a little she has had several one man shows and has sold quite of few of her works. Shes 25 now and has a studio....Graduated with great grades from University of Michigan....

Grandma bragging, I didn't know each state gives out Emmy's and from those winners are chosen the ones the go to the national Emmy awards...I have a grandson that won a Michigan Emmy (with his name on it an all) After highschool he enrolled in a broadcasting school and ended up loving videography...He use to be on the inner net under Sparks Howard school of broadcasting...(I think that was the name) But he is in his late 20's and works in California....I haven't googled his picture in quite a while but we seem to be an artzy fartzy family...You could try google Michael Parzynski and Specks Howard school of broadcasting. He might still be on the net, but its been almost 9 years ago...He was just 19 when he got his Emmy...He and another student worked on a program that PBS picked up. It was a childrens program...his brother graduated from culinary arts school and his other brother is into photography and I think he does weddings....(not too sure of that ) but he is a handsome dude...Another grandson is 2 badges from making eagle scout but is losing interest so I sweeten the pot, he has 2 years to complete all the necessary badges and I told him if he completes it before I die, I'll give him 500 dollars....

Grandma is not against a little bribe to get the job done...LOL.....:O) Lucky for you I will quite now cause there are a other grandkids, one is the Air Forcebut the scary one is a granddaughter that just found out boys are interesting, she's 15 and its scary she is quite independant in her thinking... :O)

That Pic is So Cute! My Little Bird Looks just Like that, as Cute as a Button.
The Streak by his Eye, His Upturned Tail, his Repetitive Trill, and His Hyperactivity are All Very Endearing,
And Add Up to a Very Adorable Bird.

(((((Thank you!)))))

That Golden Crowned Sparrow is a Beautiful Bird, and I Wish I could See Some of them Around Here.
We do have a Sparrow that Comes By Occasionally that has a Cute Black and White Striped Cap, but I Forgot what they are Called.

I didn't Think about a Bird Standing on One Foot to Keep their Feet Warm, but it Makes Sense, their Feet are So Small and Delicate.

(((((Thank you!)))))

Thank you, Sweet Jaycee! I didn't Notice that he was Standing in Snow; No Wonder his Little Foot is Cold.
Someone sure Snapped the Pic at just the Right Moment, with his Foot Up and also with the Cutest Look on his Face.
They Must have been Delighted when they Developed the Pic! : )

I Love your Beautiful Lord's Day Graphic and Pretty Bird Pic, Dear FRiend.
Thank you for the Beauty and Sweet FRiendship you Always Bring to us.

(((((Hugs)))))

Thank You.
After my treatments are completed I will undergo surgery.
Not looking forward to that, but it will eliminate future problems.
