Libby Williamson, is our zoom master

showed us some of her beautiful work.

in prestigious shows world-wide. We are so proud of her.

A New York artist is chronicling the pandemic 
by sketching people wearing masks on the subway.


An artist who used his talent to cope with the 
coronavirus pandemic is now documenting history 
with his art for a new series he's called the 
"COVID mask subway drawings."
Every day for almost a month, Devon Rodriguez   ...

 
has spent hours taking random trips on the subway 
in search of the perfect muse. When he finds someone, 
he uses a sketchbook and lead holder to 
bring them to life on paper without missing a detail 
from the creases in their mask to the curls in their hair.
More information and a short video of his drawing, here.

Today is Aunt Vonda's birthday.
A special lady to so many of us. 

We loved her so, and you would have loved her too.






Eighth born in a family of ten children ...



Grandpa & Grandma


Seven children survived, four were teachers.

As a young teacher, she met & married Uncle Kenneth ...

 























who went to war ... and she followed. 



She lost her one true love, and never remarried.

After, she gave her love to family, friends and students.





Aunt Vonda, like her sisters, was a great teacher.

From a one room school house to modern classrooms.

A teacher who played ball with the kids at recess.

I am lucky to have all of her school photos from over the years.




She saved them & the names of every student she ever taught.

Later, after retiring, she would visit her nieces.
Aunt Vonda & Aunt Martha, Palm Springs, CA

The kind of Aunt who knew where you kept your silverware.

Not just at my house, but at all the cousins.

Happy Birthday, Aunt Vonda!
We miss you so.

Aunt Vonda had a canary songbird, named Bing.
