Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

Ian Kochberg for Christmas

My daughter’s handbell director introduced me to this artist. She has h2o2 on the wall in her living room and I just love it. Mr. Kochberg illustrates famous pieces of music in a very creative way that, I’m sure, music lovers everywhere will appreciate and enjoy. I would include a photo here, but I am concerned about copyright infringement. If you visit his website, don’t miss Who Was That Masked Man? It comes with a .45 caliber bullet to frame with the musical art.

Recommended for the art and music aficianados on your gift list.

I have quite a few of Ian’s pieces; most have been given to me as gifts. It is always a pleasure to get one of his unique pictures. His work is absolutely incredible. They are whimsical, witty and timeless. With his wide range of ideas, there is something for everyone.
