freedom......
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." {Ronald Reagan}
** I am still out of town with family , and will be back tomorrow! I totally stole this whole post from my sister .....it was so good it needed to be repeated......xo **

... I am enjoying my new space so much.....and am overwhelmed with gratitude to be able to not only do what I love, but do it in such a beautiful space......made possible by the love , support and guidance of many who love me.......and have cheered me on every step of the way...
