Lyrics to Church Solo “It is Well”
I’m at Creative Arts Camp and the church solo was sung beautifully by blog reader Claire. It was so lovely and I have been thinking about it since, so I thought I would share it with you.
Two Plein Air Pastel Paintings at Camp Newfound
I had a day off between classes at Creative Arts Camp, which I spent in a wonderful way.
Featured Artist: Mime Karen Montanaro
I have just seen a piece done for us at Creative Arts Camp by Karen Montanaro on the Necessity of Arts in Education that needs to be filmed and become a YouTube sensation.
Dawn on Long Lake
Here’s to another great year coming to this amazing program filled with people I love in this gorgeous place!
Photos from Our Visit with Texas Cousins
Most of these are cousin photos. It is quite a crew of about 24 going out to meals together!

Michelle and Lucas were showered with blessings during their lovely outdoor wedding in the rain.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles…

Photos from Our Schoodic Peninsula Bike Ride
The Schoodic Peninsula bike ride on the northern (more remote) part of Acadia National Park is one of my favorites. And it just got better!

First below, check out the stunning ($12,000) necklace I tried on by Susan Wise!
