Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

I'm keeping my hands busy right now to keep my mind off the adversities that life throws at us from time to time.  Seems like last July when I was at death's door set off a string of events that I could write a book about.  It's been one thing right after another for the year, and even prior to that.  I'm ready for this little black cloud, to clear out.  But through it all I've felt the hand of God close by, saying come to me and rest.   I sincerely hope things lighten up really soon.  But for those of you who believe and pray, I have a very special request I'd like for you to pray about.  God knows what it is and I'm not at liberty to say, but pray for the two young men that Kathy requested.  He'll know what you mean. `````~~~~~~~~~~~~~````````~~~~~~~~~````````~~~~~~``````~` Now, I'm still painting and using up some partial bottles/cans of paints. I bought this small chest at Good Will of course.  It may have cost $8.00. ...
