The Year After

Photo: MY YEAR-quilt by Robin

The year after my mother died, I became estranged from my family.

The woman who was dating and my father,

and I did not get along well together.

I guess I was to much like my Mom.

It was easier to push me away than deal with the upset.

My sisters had to side with the father as

their inheritance was in the balance.

So, it was just Larry, me and my daughters.

That is when I designed and made this quilt.

It is titled

MY YEAR.

Zoom in and notice the hand embroidered squares...

They are the months of the year.

The Mariners Compass in the center represents the direction my life took.

As an artist, I express myself best using a medium that represents my heart.

Love you beyond the moon.

This picture was taken moments ago as the

Easter puzzle was being taken apart.

I really dislike taking apart a puzzle that I enjoyed putting together.

Because it is part of the process, I have come to accept it

but dread it just the same.

Love you beyond the moon.

A Lonely Carousel Horse

By Robin

I was unable to keep up my daily walk schedule outside

during the windy days this past week.

Because of that, I walked my miles at a local mall.

In the mall is a Carousel. Parents buy tickets for the children

and the children get on board and pick out their horse

for a five-minute ride.

It is a lovely carousel except for one horse.

He never has a rider. The mask makes him rather creepy.

But I think his colors are pretty, don't you?

Love you beyond the moon.

Thank You God

After a very long day, I was welcomed home with a wonderful sunset.

It took that one moment to remind me of what the day was about.

Thank you, God.

Love you beyond the moon.
