It's been soooo nice to have a few days at home this week. I was originally expected to be still traveling this week, and heading to Texas. My trip wound up being canceled, (first time that's ever happened!) and I decided to take a week to just be home, with my sister's surgery and Joe's daughter visiting here in North Carolina, too. In all the years I've traveled for Duke, I've never had this happen. I don't ever get a real break in travel all fall, so this is a huge treat!
Home can do the heart a world of good. Tonight, (Friday,) we're all going to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of Art. It should be a calm, relaxing evening, and I am really anticipating it with pleasure.
Here's wishing everyone a weekend full of joy!

oh this is so sunny and wonderful....love your work!!!! great quotes!!!
Lovely cheerful flower painting .... Hope you enjoy the Rockwell exhibit. I'm thinking it will be wonderful.
How utterly delicious, to have unexpected time off. I don't know how I recognize the feeling, but I do. Enjoy!
(now that I'm on Blogger, I have so many questions! How do you do it so well?)
Your painting shows your happiness at this bonus week home. Happy for you. I am SO jealous.. of you getting to go see Norman Rockwells work in person. wow. I had a friend go years ago and bring me back a refrigerator magnet which I collect and love to look at daily. I look forward to some photos of that..if they let you photograph it. Enjoy it all.
I have a young (9th grade) Texas granddaughter who wants to go to Duke! She is a writer and photographer.
Enjoy the time, Sue! You've certainly earned it. Enjoy the exhibit as well. I too envy you as I'd love to see Rockwell's work in person.
Sunshine in a vase -on paper-on my monitor - LOVE THIS!!
Thanks so much, everyone! I am having such fun actually being home for a while in Fall. One last trip for Fall, after Thanksgiving.
Such a fortuitous cancellation! So glad you were able to enjoy the break.
Yes nothing like being at home...
If only one's room mate didn't think so too...ahem
