Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

Friends always make a bus ride more fun!

I feel lucky to be surrounded with the friends I have!

Katie's "Gotcha Day" - 14th Anniversary

Time is going so fast! I can't believe it has been fourteen years since Katie was placed in my arms in front of the hotel elevator. Even though fourteen years have passed, I still have such clear memories of that day. It has been a good fourteen years!

Another Watercolor Piece

Katie decided to get creative on another late evening. I woke up to another watercolor picture. It amazes me because she hasn't used watercolors since she was around 7 years old. She has practiced her drawing and coloring skills, but not so much painting skills. When I use watercolors, my painting looks nothing like hers!

I decided to draw one of my favorite fruits.

Happy Easter, 2025!

Katie's Easter basket had some of her favorites this year!

I love Lindor milk chocolate bunnies,...

...small stuffed animals, and...

...Only Murders in the Building!
