I was born and raised in Mississippi but have lived in Tennessee for over 20 years. I have deep southern roots that reflect in my writing and painting. I Consider myself a barnyard artist. I love painting cows! My art is featured in Tennessee and Mississippi.
I put my writing on the back burner for more than 20 years. I've recently picked up the pen and started again! I'm a little rusty but I'm having a great time! I've had a few poems published early on but my dream is to publish and illustrate a picture book for children. Mostly likely about some barnyard animal! |

There are people who live to be a thorn in your side. Learn to live with it. It will make you a stronger person. Learn to smile when your heart is aching then write!

My favorite song is, Moon River. I know it is weird but it makes me feel melancholy yet I love it. It seems sad yet it makes me happy. Does that make any kind of sense? Lol

My iPad has gone crazy or the site is acting up. Every time I edit and save the changes it don?t change.

Amy Rowell: See.... that dang question mark shows up everywhere!

michaelcahill: That's a weird thing that happens using smart apostrophes or something like that. It shouldn't happen if you type directly into the site. But there's a way to go into word and change it, but I forget how. Someone should know though. HEY! Someone, tell her. It's not your Ipad though, IT'S US! LOL

Jannypan (Jan) : Those annoying ????? show up in the forum all the time. Also when copying/[asting where ther are none, you may end up with a bunch in YOUR writing. Most annoying & difficult to delete. They just keep going & going & going . . . .

Jannypan (Jan) : That's copying/pasting. FS would not allow me to correct it. That is something else that is annoying--not being able to make corrections when posting comments on this profile thread page here!!!!

Sunshine, thunder and rain here in middle Tennessee today! When I was growing up, the saying goes...."When it rains and thunders while the sun is out, the devil's beating his wife." What in the word! Lol where did that come from!?! Have y'all ever heard that? Lol It just might be some southern Mississippi thing! D-a-n-g.......!

DR DIP: EMBRACE EVERY DAY WITH A SMILE
Embrace every day with a smile
Always show your grille
It really makes, life worthwhile
Everyone knows it will
Just start off with a little grin
As someone walks your way
Showing a smile is not a sin
It can really make their day
A smile is what the world needs now
And a bit of laughter as well
The world's too sad anyhow
It needs a happy spell
So start the day everyday
With a smile and blow a kiss
See what comes, back your way
It's something you shouldn't miss

If you find yourself with writer's block, pick up a paint brush!
|

F. Wehr3: Good advice! If you paint yourself into a corner, start writing.

Amy Rowell: There's something about painting that is therapy for me. Whether it's walls, furniture or canvas! It's saved me tons of money! Lol
