My wonderful, artistic, handsome, smart, talented and most important- kind- great uncle Pat passed away this week. He was an amazing man, with strength and fortitude I could never dream of having through an illness that was long and hard and draining. I will miss him so very, very much. He gave me so much support in my art, he was an artist himself and not only did he give me materials, he gave me ideas, guidance, technique. He taught me so much about so many things and was like a surrogate grandfather to me when my own passed away when I was just 6 years old. He was a great cook, too. And what a sense of humor! That photo is of him and my aunt Marilyn on their wedding day.
I’ll be taking a while off from the site, I’ll see you all next week.
And Uncle Pat, I promise you that I will put those paintbrushes you gave me to good use again. I love you. Rest in peace.
I'm Marilla. A 30-something artist, hobby baker, home canning enthusiast, gardener, DIY-er, wife, mommy of a baby boy and dog mom (to another baby boy) from New York. 
So sorry. Big, heartfelt hugs to you and your family.
Deep condolences to you and your family. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear the sad news Marilla. My heart goes out to you…Loosing someone who is such an inspiration is heartbreaking. But just think of the wonderful things and memories that he left you and that he made such an impression in your life! You and your family will be in my prayers. I have a good listening ear so if you ever want to talk you know where to find me.
Thanks to you both, Mara & Patrice. All the love me & my family have gotten from people eases the blow a little bit. Still hurts like a bitch. But all the kind words do help… so thank you.
These are really great ideas in about blogging.
You have touched some pleasant factors here. Any way keep up wrinting.
Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed
to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while
people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined
out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
I could not refrain from commenting. Very well written!
I’d been honored to receive a call from a friend immediately he uncovered the important tips shared in your site.
Reading through your blog post is a real excellent experience.
Thanks again for taking into consideration readers at all
like me, and I desire for you the best of achievements like a professional in this field.
I have read so many content concerning the blogger lovers except this post is truly a good article,
keep it up.
I intended to draft you the little bit of word in order to thank
you so much yet again on the remarkable principles you’ve shown here.
It has been really wonderfully open-handed with people like you
to deliver extensively what a lot of folks would’ve offered for an ebook in order to make some dough
on their own, mostly seeing that you could have done it in the event you decided.
The points as well worked to be the easy way to fully grasp that other people have a similar zeal like my very own to understand
much more when considering this problem. I think there are a lot more pleasurable situations in the future for
individuals that take a look at your blog.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Hello, Neat post. There’s an issue together with your site in internet explorer, would check
this? IE still is the market leader and a huge part of other folks will omit your fantastic writing
due to this problem.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting
a little research on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast simply because I found it for him…
lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this topic here on your site.
