I'm an artist who fights on the side of LIFE! I'm 66, have ALS, and fight to overcome my limitations with the support of a loving husband, a warm and wonderful family, awesome friends, faith and always, humor. Just because I had to put my cape and tights in storage doesn't mean I can't fly!

Before the onset of ALS I kayaked rivers and the ocean, hiked the Green mts. of VT and was moderately successful as an artist. I can no longer use the pastels, colored pencils and papers I so loved and now paint with the help of my computer to express the musings of my mind. Every day is a fight to hold my disease in check, but each day is also a gift. I fight my battle with the help of my wonderful family and friends, and my husband who sticks by me with love, help with the things I can't do on my own, and humor.

Happy New Year, Pam,
I love the bunny slippers and wish I had a pair. Your grandchildren look like a great group.
Adorable, bursting with happiness and love. Thanks for sharing that. I know that you have good surprises coming your way in 2008, not the least of which is a big ADIOS to the crime family that has taken over the White House.
Your last comment on Crayons was so helpful. I think you are my oldest -- I mean longest-time reader. I was really proud of the laundry basket, but I try to squelch pride whenever possible. Thanks for voicing your observation.
That's rather a nice way to get rid of a distracting background.
What a wonderful and happy group of kids! Those slippers are so cute. Angela had a tough job getting each one the correct size!
I'm glad you had a warm and happy Christmas and I'm wishing you a Great New Year.
Oh, what a priceless fun photo, Pam.
And what a wonderful family you have.
Pam, I linked your site to my GoodHousekeeping column. I hope that's still okay. Your artwork is so beautiful, and your words are so touching. I hope more people can learn from you like I have. I, as I always say, adore you.
Happy 2008.
Oh, and my title for this bunny picture post? A Hare Raising Experience! (Ha ha... I'm good... I know.)
Holy Cow, Batman! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, what with all the hoo-haa going on next door in New Hampshire (that is next door, isn't it?)
I am here in the south with my friend. We are sort of like Batman and Robin--well--more like Lucy and Ethel, I guess. I just built her a blog of her own, her first, something to keep her mind away from the unsolvable crazies. Her husband, Dave, was a real artist--like you. I put you on her bookmarks. Maybe you can drop by for a visit sometime. She's totally new to the world of cyberfriends. ;)

That's an adorable bunny warren you have there, Pam. So glad you have the picture because just a hop and a skip and they will be grownups!
My power is back! Woohoo! The bunny slippers are so cute. Great idea Angela. My dish ate all my emails since the storm so I didn't get that one.
MUCHO LUVO
Love all the bunny slippers and all the smiles.
Wishing you all the best in 2008 and am looking forward to sharing it all.
