Art Journal Entry #22

The men from Chez V survived camping in 18 degree weather and commemorated the anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge with a memorial walk across the ground where 70,000 American lives lost their lives defending Belgium against a final attack by the Germans during World War II.

E-Grrrl and I had a really busy weekend together, shopping for birthday gifts for our Belgian cousins and a Christmas gift for her brother, baking cookies for her class cookie exchange, and putting finishing touches on the papier mache pinata I've been working on all week (also for her party).

And now I'm off to Antwerp to visit Di and go wandering together with Gert, Jess, and the Wee Curly Grrrl.

It's very cold but the sun is shining and I'm HAPPY. Really happy.

Hope you are too.

I am so very glad you are happy, REALLY happy! Your art journal entry captures that so well. How wonderful that you and E-grrrl had a great and productive weekend and that E and A had such a memorable weekend. Hope you, Di, and your other friends have the best girlfriend time ever. Looking forward to your report when you return.

Sorry it's been a while since I commented here, but it's been busy on my front. The story about the woman falling on the escalator was pretty intense... Glad things were OK after all. I loved the photo of the rainbow and the list of those little things that make you happy. And I'm glad that you are really HAPPY too!

The fog has lifted! Hooray for more happy days ahead!! Not sure if you got my email, but hubby is happy to drive to temporary chez V to pick up the "expat stuff" if you're still in the market to get it off your hands. :) Lord knows we need all the help we can get!
