I'm Not Really a Slacker


My apologies for not keeping up here. In March I began radiation five days a week going into mid-late May. During the last three weeks of radiation, the Park started getting good so my schedule was basically this: Weekdays, up before 4 AM to drive an hour or two to the Park shoot until about 2:30 then drive an hour and a half to the radiation appointment, then another half hour home, eat, sleep and repeat. After a Friday rad appt in the morning, straight to the Park to shoot all weekend and back in time for the 4 PM appt in Bozeman. As soon as radiation was done (woo hoo!) it was almost constant time in the Park until mid June. Then I had to tear myself away to paint for the solo show coming up July 24 at Visions West. To make matters a little more chaotic: my neighbor has gotten me back into hunter jumpers...so when I am not duct-taped to the easel, I am jumping fences on Donald's horse or riding mine!

As a result of all that: I am cancer free (hopefully for good!)... the shooting in Parkadise was FABULOUS (best year ever, I think)... I learned to do flying lead changes and have remembered why jumping horses are kickass fun... I have discovered that my Dunny is VERY fast.... AND, so far, there are over 60 NEW paintings for the show (most are small) and I am still painting!

Mom convinced me to start a Facebook page and I keep up a little better with that. no, really, I do. Check it out HERE

Lyn,
I'm so glad to hear you are done with the radiation and it was a success. Good to see you back in the world of "Blogdom." Looking forward to seeing you again at Birds in Art.
See you soon, Jim

You are an inspiration and great mentor to all of us that are lucky enough to read your musings. I could only wish that faced with life's difficulties my attitude could be so positive. Your talent with words, photography, painting and horsemanship astounds me. May God continue to bless you and keep you cancer free.
