Here's some "Stuff" I want to share..........................

Hope you all had a good and restful and happy
Thanksgiving with loved ones and friends....
Haven't been on here lately...why...just cuz...not
much to report has entered my often tired yet still fertile
brain...but today I feel okay to share my small but
for me adequate words....Hope they are of some interest
to you my vast and very important to me followers...
Read that a women named Antonia Brenner, 86 has recently
died...why was she in the news...here's the why...she was an
American nun who abandoned a life of privilege to provide care 
and comfort to prisoners in Tijuana, Mexico's La Mesa penitentiary
for more than 30 years...That is some mighty big hearted human being....La Mesa will miss her and her sweet dedication to her fellow human being greatly....
Here's a saying that I like ...chosen out of my small but treasured collection....Raise your words not your voice....rain makes flowers 
grow...not thunder................. 
Going to muster up the interest and motivation to apply for the second time to an art fare down this a way...by the beach....got to try to sell my vast collection of small and some larger bird houses that God has put in my mind and heart to paint...I say that hoping to not sound overly dramatic...because for me this painting "thing" that has come into my life if truly God sent...I am loving it and loving any sale that comes my way...Did I tell you that last month...
I sold $227 worth of this and that of my work at a local art and craft show... I was doing the senior artist happy dance...


with even a few foot clicks...you know ala Gene Kelly...So I will post some of my latest larger bird houses...for your hopefully viewing pleasure......In the meant time I will see you dear's in the funny papers.......Louisa

Happy happy to see this wonderful invention............

Happy to see this on the news...An invention called Ekso Suit;
a paralyzed person who is paralyzed from the waist down; 
 wearing this suit is able to stand and walk, with canes...imagine that...
imagine that...Hope this incredible technology is available to all our paralyzed
 veterans and the general public in the very near future. How I appreciate and admire
the brain power and the skill, etc. that went into this Ekso Suit design.
Thank God for the people who have the desire and inclination to do 
inventing....especially inventions that give human kind a new lease and
out look on life...Hurray to all involved in this endeavor.  I did see this on a
from the waist down paralyzed veteran...he was thrilled to be standing and
walking while wearing this suit...Google Ekso Suit for more information on
this..
God Bless and many thanks to all our veterans, this Veterans Day, a special shout out to my dear
son for his service to our country in the 2003 Iraq war....God Bless you..
Until next time....take good care....you folks out there.....Louisa.....................
