Time Flies When You're Having Fun!
It's hard to believe that a year ago this week I was meeting a group of people who would become such a big part of my life! ArtWorks DeLand has been an adventure that I wouldn't have wanted to miss for anything, and I am looking forward to whatever the next year has in store for us. We're a cooperative gallery of 30 local artists and we have become like a family for so many. It's a joy to be a part of such a creative, warm, funny and cooperative group of artists!!!
For many of us, this time of year brings with it memories of our childhood and more. Today I am looking forward instead of back. 45 minutes ago I left my 60s and am now in my 70s. Wow! It's pretty hard to comprehend, but I am not going to waste time worrying about it. I have too many ideas I want to get to.
I am thankful for this crazy town we are living in! Last week I felt like I was living in a Hallmark movie during "Light Up DeLand". We are in Central Florida, it was "chilly" for us (in the 60s) and Santa sky dived into downtown to a cheering crowd of kids and adults as he floated from the sky while setting off fireworks. Meanwhile, children were enjoying the ice skating rink set up across from the gallery and families watched the lighting of the huge tree in front of our historic Volusia County Courthouse while holiday music played. It was a joyful night for sure!
