A little tourism with my girl. #❀️ #lovepark πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§πŸ“ΈπŸŒˆβ€οΈβœ¨ #barbararose
Great weekend reminiscing old times and remembering Ben. I got to visit the portrait I painted of him in grad school at Kate and Ben’s lovely home. And got to see one of my favorites he painted, at his show. If you are downtown in Knoxville please stop by the UT downtown gallery on Gay street and see his paintings. They are playful and lovely. πŸ’•πŸŒˆ Ben you are missed. @utkgalleries #gratefuldeadforever
Been away from my little family for a few nights. This is the first time this mama has left her little Barb. It’s been great, it’s been weird, I needed it and now I’m ready to go home. Thanks so much to Lauri and Kirk for taking care of her and the pups. Love you both. And thanks to my supportive husband who knew I needed to leave and say goodbye to an old friend. Love you and all that sappy stuff. Photo cred: @ksimrin πŸ“Έ and @lpsimrin πŸ’•
Fortress of faith with @uprightmetalworks @leslieannaeilsel thanks for the adventure Leslie. 😘 #regalaf πŸ‘‘πŸ’•β›ͺ️
#Repost from my @paintandgrain account ・・・ I recorded a podcast with my good friend @saramariestudio for her podcast @thymeinthestudio ! You can find it on Spotify and Apple podcast. I haven’t listened to it yet, 😬 but you should. 😊 This is a sketch of how we recorded it long distance. Sara Marie under the sheets on her bed and me locked in a closet with pillows hiding from my family. πŸ˜‰
We survived our trip to the park. πŸ˜…πŸš²πŸ‘§πŸΌπŸ’•πŸ™ŒπŸ½ #maidenvoyage #barbararose #babybikeseat #copilottaxi #salsacasseroll #bikingwithbaby
Left these two ladies, yesterday (and their husbands and babies πŸ’•). For as tired as I am, I feel rejuvenated by catching up and being around both of them. I miss living down the street from each other. Also, thanks for watching Barb so I could nap a little. 😘 @jesicarunning and @xpammycakesx #okiforever #ittakesavillage #missya #missingpageandmer #okisewingcircle #letsdoitnextyear #πŸ˜˜πŸ–πŸŒž
