We were at a music convention, hundreds of singer/songwriters pitching their songs to the tv and movie industry. Meeting James was a breath of fresh air that week and we continued to stay in touch.
It turns out as our friendship progressed, not only was he an awesome singer/songwriter but an incredible artist as well.
Today that package was a gift that brought tears of joy, one of James' paintings which now sits on my mantle. Suddenly this little cottage I call home had a new energy, a feeling of joy from this beautiful painting. It had been an out of sorts morning. My brother Ricky and Jordan went to the feed store with me and helped me load 200 pounds of seed and feed for the critters and then we unloaded those same 200 pounds when we got home. Much to my dismay, I realized I had forgotten to purchase a 50 pound bag of laying mash for the chicks. Another trip tomorrow.
Then I came home and took Taz to the vet for her yearly checkup. Normally no big deal, but we have two local vets and one was sick, so my vet was seeing his "patients today as well." What is usually a 20 minute visit turned into over an hour of waiting. Thankfully, another friend, Mary Jane called, she lives near the vet and she came and visited with Taz and me. And brought me delicious chicken salad for my lunch!
I got home, tired and cranky but lunch and a quick nap took the edge off. Did I mention very little sleep last night? Wild critters moving across the property ( deer and coyote) kept Kodak and Hook on "protect momma mode" most of the night. Protect momma mode, means lots of barking.
And then UPS knocked on my door this afternoon. Chicken salad and an original art work, I am blessed with incredible friends.
