Oh my gosh, I just spent an hour writing on this thing and I lost the entire posting.......ugh, it went something like this...... There is too much to reply to comment on each posting so forgive me for doing a general catch up....
Ann...keep at it, and thanks for your beautiful words. They are a gift.
Dad.......wow, cool pics. of the eclipse. I enjoyed the photo album as well. I also received the word doc you sent. Really fascinating. I have some writings from Roses I will share when I can find them.
Misty.......I love you, remember to vote
Mom...Made the soup, really good..xoxox
John, Jan and Wendi......so good to be able to feel in touch with you even in such a small way.
Sophie, Nora.......miss you, miss you, miss you, stop growing up without me
Ben.....miss you too, come see us
Andi....where are you on this thing? I love you. Vote, vote, vote, Pa. is a swing state.
Mary.......you're one of the missing too, gosh I'd love to see you, love to Meigs and Kate
About me.....OK I've just done this once tonight, so here's the condensed version. I think I can only do this like I grocery shop, fill my cart, get it done, and then forget about it for awhile. My lack of frequency on this is not indicative of my feelings. My hands hold a paint brush all day and I've decided they are meant to grasp and to shove color around, not to punch at little frustrating buttons on a keyboard. Perhaps Dad will help me download some photos at Christmas so there are some visuals of life in NH. It's a good life. I drive by our little airport every day on my way to the studio. I've been fantasizing about getting my pilot's license. How old was Roses? Do you have to see well? I have that middle age thing going on. The studio is a beautiful space to spend time in. I am almost finished cleaning out 100 years of grime. It feels wonderful. OK, I really was a little (only a little) more eloquent in the posting that I somehow lost....This will have to do. Love to this beautiful family.....

Hey there Lisa... Ole Uncle John here... I do not know if you remember but i have been flying for over 34 years here and have been a flight instructor for over twenty five years...taught many people old and young how to fly... your health has to be ok and your vision just has to be correctable . I think it is great you are thinking about it...just wish you were closer to me then you would have an instructor with out the cost... it is not cheap to learn to fly but it is rewarding for sure... hope all is well and would love to see pics of your life...take care....Uncle John
Lisa, Wow!! When you do post, it's great. In addition to what John said, Dad was 41 or 42 when he started flying. Mom started very shortly after that (she being three years younger). So, age is not an consideration. Incidently, Mom was the better pilot. I would love to have copies of anything Mom wrote. I'm really getting into this Family History/Tree thing. I'm glad Ann proposed it. Love, Dad
What a great newsy post. Glad you liked the soup - I am making it tonight. We head for DC on Sunday - use the cell if you need us.
Love, Mom
