Art Day











Did I mention how much I love the kid's art class?

Tibetan Monks

I was downloading pictures off my camera card and came across these:


During dinner one night, we heard snoring. I peaked under the table and found Oreo sound asleep at my feet. It was the funniest/sweetest thing. We are enjoying that little guy in our home.


A couple of weeks ago I took the kids to see the Tibetan Monks at our local theatre. They were building a sand mandala, so we were able to watch them as they worked. Also, they had a separate one the kids could work on as well. They used colored sand and it takes days to finish. After it is done they sweep it up and pour it into a nearby body of water. This ceremony is to honor the impermanent nature of existence. It is truly a labor of love and takes extraordinary patience.

Just Loved This



Taylor Swift is a young singer, but every once in a while, one of her songs catches my attention, this is one of them. I love it!
