News Flash

I have received some news you all MAYBE interested in. I entered an acyclic painting in a state wide contest, for the Arkansas Health Care Foundation ( This isn't the picture). Over 100 people living in resident care homes, like Osage Gardens, entered.

I was informed yesterday by a form letter sent to the 14 winners, that we had been chosen to have owr picture on the 2012 calendar.

Katryna, our activity leader, has told me personally, that out of the 14 I have won 1st place. Our pictures will be in the Arkansas capital for the month of Sept.
for all to see. Then they will be sent to the Clinton Museum in Little Rock for s short time, and they will be actioned off to invited bitters only. This money is used to help activities in all state care homes.

Anyway, now I must get busy painting a picture for our Osage Gardens painting ,silent auction in Oct. This money goes to our activities for supplies which we can use, at no charge.

I will not get my picture back, but Katrina is getting me a laser copy of it , Mon.

My head really hasn't grown any.

Really--Nice showers

Just thought I'd let you all know how happy I am to see the beautiful rain, falling from the sky. We had our first nice soaker on Monday p.m. Then again that night. Ged and Banj. had come to visit me, and I told them they should have come much earlier. Then we had another soaker Tues. night and early morning. Well, Wednesday it has been raining off and on all day. Still another nice soaker. Oh, how wonderful. Already the grass looks greener.

Evonne's had to pick Kyrna up at the NWA airport, so they all stopped about 2:15. Kyrna took doughnuts along from Canada. Had a cup of coffee with them and boy were they good.

It cooled off a lot today. Only up to 78o. We've had over 100 for a number of weeks. Almost need a jacket- but I refuse to get carried away over one day. Fall is on the way though. School starts next Monday and soon our Osage Gardens will look beautiful.
