The Heart's Music Can Heal

 Hi Stephen Anthony,    Hope my favorite guy in the world is doing fine and staying dry.   Gosh, I was watching the weather map tonight and noticed that because of the system over Ohio, the rain and storms which normally go west to east, is circulating northwest.  In your area, it's directly north.  I not real familiar with the weather in Massachusetts, but it too is affected by this too.  Something amazing to watch .    Sure hope and pray you and your family are doing well and that your week was good.     Not real sure the weekend will be good one, seeing it has rained three days in a row. Soggy that is for sure.    Lots of hugs and kisses is all I can think to say and wish I could give you right now! Love you so much, hope it's a restful night Schizz, please take care of yourself, hello to all Sally

Just wanted to wish you pleasant nights rest , love you so much , love and prayers to everyone.  I know it's a brief blog but it is meant with heart.  Have a great day, it's Friday! Sally

     Up late painting but still have to do some detail.  I did have someone sign up for my paid painting class Landscape but cancelled out.     I sketched out my pick for president and running mate, Carianne and Jon liked it, thought you would get a kick out of it Schizz.    Hope your week has been a good one thus far.  Pray the rest of the week goes well.    Always pray you and your family are doing ok.  You know you are always on my mind. Love you Stephen, have a blessed day! Sally

   Lot of things are going on , variety of topics to choose from I guess.     Watched the presidential debate, I really don't talk about politics, but darn it I am SO SICK OF HILLARY and all the Clintons, I can just throw up, hypocritical people.  I am sorry ,just had to say it.  For those who like them, I am sure you have your reasons..I must don't.    On the lighter side, I am thinking about a story my father shared about a friend of his.  It actually does up these few days with everything going on in the news.     My father went over to his friend "Pinky's" farm to work on one of his tractors.  I am sorry to say, I don't know how he got his nickname. As dad was finishing up his repair on the machine, pinky was way up high on a pole changing a lightbulb in his security light.   So the journey up and down needless to say was a long one.    Dad drove the tractor up to it and watched pink shimmy down the pole almost to the bottom, when the light went out,

        Been a long weekend, but a good one.  Had a nice day at work yesterday, meeting and greeting folks and passing out class schedules to the customers. Felt rewarding.    It's been beautiful this weekend, sure hope you and your family had  glorious weather in Amesbury Schizz.     It's been wonderful to leave the windows open to enjoy the cool night air, trouble is it, makes me sleepy.  As suspect it does with alot of people.            Well, I hope and pray you all are well, always think about you Stephen.  Always praying for you!  Love you so much, hello to everyone! Yours Sally

   Hi sweetheart,      Good morning, hope you slept well.  It's T.G.I.F,  pray you had a great week and everything and everyone are doing well. Hope the weather is nice.     So glad it's heading into cooler weather next week.  Sure looking forward to it, ready for fall aren't you.    Bet it's turning color in New England and gearing up for Patriot football.    Me , I am revising my portrait of Woody Hayes. You know how college football is on Saturday for Ohio State.  I have to go into Michael's tomorrow for four hours to promote my art classes.  I thought the portrait would make for a nice touch.      Wanted to write you last night but fell asleep, sorry about that.   Thought it would be nice to wish you a nice morning and tell you how much I love and think about you often, even in the morning Schizz.  Please have a good day, prayers that you will and all the family is fine. Lots of hugs and kisses, just a whole lot of love for you !!!! Yours Always Sally

Hope and pray you are having a good week with many blessings.   Was working out in the yard, mowed the lawn.  Kinda warm so I wore myself out pretty quickly.  That was ok.  Felt like I got something accomplished.  I did all this after my appointment at McConnell, which went well.    The Delaware County Fair is this week, you probably remember all that.  The Little Brown Jug is tomorrow.  Not going to the fair this year.    Thinking about you tonight as I always everyday and every night.  Always wonder how you are getting along.   So I wanted to send my love and prayers to you and all the family.   Many hugs and kisses I am sending you , I know it's only in my dreams, but my dreams are always yours. Have a wonderful day tomorrow, love you sir Stephen Anthony Schizz, Only yours Sally

    Had a real good Free Painting Class last night.   Tonight is my free drawing class.  Both Carianne and Jon gave me some ideals for subjects to do.  Cariannes' ideal of bring still life in and have them use imagination and paint a picture.  This worked great I brought in fruit and borrowed a pumpkin.    Tonight I am using Jon ideal of a basic landscape to illustrate, along with a side view of a face.  We were talking about this as we sat in the doctors office waiting on Dr. Renick.  Jon needed to get a required shot for school, he also got a checkup and a flu shot.  Everything is good with Jonathan.  I have to go to Mc Connell tomorrow for my nutrition check.   I will send you my class works when I get them detailed.  I always do that.   Sure hope you are having a good day Stephen sweetheart.  Always think about you Schizz, LOVE YOU SO, SO MUCH!  Love and prayers to all your family. Many hugs and kisses especially for you !!!! Yours always Sally

  Had a great day with the family celebrating dad's 82 Birthday. Everyone came out and called to wish him a happy birthday except my brother and his family.     It was a good dad otherwise, dad turned red in the face when he got sang to three times yesterday.    Glad we were all there pulling for dad since my brother can't..I should say won't.      Hope and pray all of the family  are doing fine Stephen and all of you have been having good weather.   Well that you are having a good day Schizz.    Me, I have a class to teach tonight in acrylics.     I think about you and always pray you are doing good and staying well.  Hello , love and prayers to everyone.   Hugs and kisses for you Stephen Anthony Schizz.

 It's an event that will never fade from the memory of the American people. All of us can recall what we were doing, thinking and feeling as it all unfolded in front of our eyes on live TV.   I always pray that none of us ever forget those who lost their lives fifteen years ago.  I also pray that a greater and deeper love and respect comes forth of the meaning of our flag, our home and what truly means to be free.  For the love, honor and remembrance of such brave people.  Love and prayers to all and their families. I have been watching a special dedication presented on The History Channel of September 11,2001.  Hope you are able to watch some of it Stephen,  love to all...love you so much Schizz Yours Sally

Gosh do I hate being awake when I should be sleeping.  Dad has gotten bad about it. He goes to bed about ten pm and gets up about four thirty in the morning.   Funny how our bodies play with us like that.   My problem is sometimes I need to talk or just need to be near somebody to fall asleep.   The dogs and cats make great company but over the years I have discovered that it is much different than human company but when that's all one has like in my case, it has to do.  How I wish I could see you and know that you are near Stephen.  Well I can talk to you like this.   Sure hope and pray you are doing fine Schizz.  I know it's going to rain here all tomorrow and Saturday.   Like always you guys up in New England get some of the weather we do.   So be prepared I guess. A big hello to all.  I better sign off Schizz, I am getting romantic thoughts just missing you, so I will havw sweet dreams of you so I can rest.  Have a safe, productive and blessed day. Love you so much You

  Feeling much better, hope and pray you are the same, and you all didn't get too much rain.  The news didn't have too much on the weather, all political mostly you know.   Poor Jon, this is his first election and it's sad to say it isn't a good year, gosh I wish we had better to choose from.   So I do hope you and everyone are OK.   Can't wait until we get some rain so it would cool down.  I talked to mom and she is much better.   Much love to you Stephen, for always having an open heart to hear all the hurting.  Love you so very much, love to all the family Yours always Schizz, Sally

Please stay safe as the storm rolls through in New England.  I know the last time I saw the weather map, I noticed a tip of it is drifting up in Amesbury.  Thinking of all of you at this moment and I will throughout its duration.  Love you ,love to all.   I am still fighting the flu, feeling miserable because of the hot temperatures. The weekend was beautiful but I was feeling blah.  The kids and I went out to my folks , my sisters and the kids and I did some work for mom and dad.  Mom got worked up over the holiday..same issue. Worry about her so much. If I am writing you too much, I am sorry...just love you and worry about you too!  So this is for you Stephen,love you sweetheart

Wanted to tell you Stephen Schizz that I will be praying for all of you on the East Coast that the tropical storm won't hit all of you hard.  Please be safe and careful in Amesbury.  Love you very much.love and prayers to everyone. Always Sally

It is really amazing how much Brad sounded like Paul McCartney, wonderful tribute, thought you would enjoy this Stephen Anthony, love ya,  Sally

It's a new school year Schizz and already the kids have brought home some kind of bug. The kids and I have been passing it back and forth to each other.  Today I have felt awful, stuffed up with a sore throat. School has been in session only three weeks, gosh I hope and pray that you all have managed to dodge it so far up in Amesbury,MA.    Always think about you Stephen.  Pray all is well with the family.  Love and prayers to them as well. Love you so very much Stephen. Sally

Just wanted to check on you and check in .  Sure hope and pray you are doing OK Stephen Anthony Schizz and everything and everyone is fine.  Miss hearing from you. The family reunion was good, Aunt Billie mentioned how you kinda teased her when you wrote back to Dr. Renick.   Wish I could get you to write back to me,  oh well , makes me sad that I don't hear from you.  I do hope and pray things are good for ya, Take care and be safe Love Sally
