Art Therapy

I finally finished my mosaic. This was the first one I've ever done. When I first decided to make one, I thought it might take me a weekend at the most. Actually, I thought I'd finish two in that weekend. Huh, now that I know better I may never make one again. The project was pretty easy to do, just time consuming, but I couldn't have started it at a better time though. A few days before I began we got a call early Sunday morning. At that time of morning the call was either from my niece, Meredith, an early riser, calling to talk to my daughter, the late sleeper, or someone calling to deliver bad news. This time it wasn't Meredith calling, unfortunately. My brother in law died that morning. Ron flew down to Phoenix two days later and I stayed here with the kids and my mosaic project. After I got the kids to school, cleaned the house a little, I'd sit down at the kitchen table for a few hours to work on the rooster, cell phone next to me, busily waiting to hear any kind of news from Phoenix. I wanted so bad to go with Ron to Phoenix to help out. Working on the rooster made the week that Ron was gone go by fast. I was very happy I had that to work on.
Next project will be the five windows for the restaurant where I work.
