My Dad was an amateur artist, When he passed away in 1976 my two older sisters, younger brother and I were able to choose our favorite paintings of his. I choose this painting of Crater Lake, and two others. Whenever I look at it, I am reminded of my father and how much he loved Crater Lake.
Day one of the art challenge. Several weeks ago I drew a tree and started filling it in with my initials, and continued over time with the initials for my various family members until the whole picture was filled out. I found it quite meditative over time.
My day seven book choice is Nomadland by Jessica Bruder. Read it and learn about an invisible American labor force
My book recommendation for the 6th day is Alice in Wonderland because every once in awhile I need a book that makes me smile.
The Party of Fear: From Nativist Movements to the New Right in American History | IndieBound.org
This is my book recommendation for today. I cannot say I liked this book, it is about one of the darker rivers that have flowed through out U.S. History since its begining. However, it is a fascinating read and if you have any interest in U.S. History pass what you learned in high school I would recommend picking this book up.

I broke my favorite plate today and it is upsetting me more than it should. It was not special except for the fact it was to me and I am not sure why. I may try to repair it at least to keep for decoration.
Dawn
Looking at some of my pencil collection
Went outside this morning to go to the laundry room. The sky was a beautiful blue and the birds were singing. I heard what I thought was a woodpecker, then I looked up at the top of a light pole and there was a large crow on top of it making a noise like a woodpecker.

Casualties of a Move
Well we are in our new place in a town called North East, Pa just north of Erie Pa right on Lake Erie. For those of you who are geographically challenge 🙋🏻♀️ that is the most north west part of Pennsylvania, so the name makes no sense. The town has a coffee shop, several wineries and a place that makes beer. At home i am surround by stuff all over everywhere, although i am almost finished emptying boxes.

Beyond Burger Review
The burger was ok. If you put it on a roll with lettuce, tomato and ketchup and did not tell me what it was. I would say this is ok, but there is something different about it. When I ate a peace of it alone there was a slight bitter after taste.
different about it

We went to Sara’s Restaurant a traditional American restaurant. I love the food there, but for some reason the dinner came with both rice and a bake potato. I love both but I really don’t need that much starch in one meal.

Found this while going thru some of my mother’s papers. Thought it was pretty cool
“Life is a game- learn the rules-then work and play as you are able- just for fun. Set your standards high -live up to them. Strive for perfection. There is nothing within reason you can not. Many things beyond reasons you can do. Accept each problem with eagerness and pleasure. There is always an answer to every problem, maybe more than one. It’s up to you to pick the best solution. Think and learn all you can. Arrange your beliefs firmly, cast aside trivia get to the bare facts that count-look hard and decide and know. Never turn your back on your beliefs. Bend if you must but never waiver or break. Stand up for your belief quietly till you win or lose. If you lose believe still- store away that belief, not as a fester, but as a precious gem-for tomorrow. Learn from each defeat. Grow with each success and each defeat.
Face your fears and uncertainties always-never let them overcome you. Find your island of peace within yourself-be content within. Happiness is within you, not over the next hill or in the next year. Enjoy everything - your striving - your problems - people - things. Live each day to the full.“-Jean Henderson Losey 1968
Why you shouldn’t loose your pen
I found a baggie full of CD Covers that I had kept after getting rid of the cds. I am not sure why I am keeping them, but I can’t throw them away. Maybe because they represent my music history and how it changed over time.
Today’s breakfast
I have spent the last three days down with the flu. I had absolutely no energy all I wanted to do was sleep. I also had no appetite, the only thing I had to eat was a few crackers and some broth. Imagine being dragged out of bed loaded with a 100 pound ruck sack and made to march quick time for 10 miles and then being forced to box for 3 round. That will give you some idea of how I have been feeling. I am better today, my appetite has returned and I ate a full breakfast this morning, but I still feel like there is a battle happening within me. So if you are wondering whether to get a flu shot this year or not. GET IT
