August 2

Le Jardin
Wonders never cease!  Who said that?  Well, "they" were right.  I talked to Kacey for a long time yeserday.  She sounds like a new person - happy, confident, and looking towards the future!  Her artwork continues to be a source of contentment for her.  I know that she can lose herself in it for hours.  She spoke of all the work she has done and how she really wants to make a real go of having it as her business.  She sent several pictures of one of her works inspired by Paris. It's called "Le Jardin".  Now I don't know if anyone would want to buy it, but maybe I'm prejudiced, but I think its amazing.  To know that she can create something out of stuff she finds on big trash day continures to amaze me.  She is hoping to have a show in the fall.  It would be an honor for me to have that for her; just to see her have some success would be the greatest gift.

And another thing,  She has taken a job cleaning my friend Todd's house twice a month.  Now for those who know Kacey, this is astonishing!  She is the queen of mess!  Yet she says that she can clean other people's houses just fine. And Todd confirmed it.   Once again, wonders never cease!

I can't believe that I am saying this, but I really want to get home from Michigan.  I want to celebrate her new found confidence and watch her continue to blossom.  I am so proud of her!
