     Celebrations for the 250th Birthday of the founding of the USA, were so uplifting along with the show of Patriotism!  Fireworks, were just beautiful, too!  Thanks to each of you, contributing to our July Challenge… was perfect for our celebration!  Following the 250th Celebration came the FIFA Games!  I watched several games, all the way to the final game…never knew it could be so exciting!  I admire the strength and endurance of each player!

     Speaking of strength and endurance…get ready for busy times at the Gallery, with so many opportunities to show our work.  First, is the gallery Show Change, July 27th and 28th.  You know…4 Framed, 4 Unframed, 7 Minis and 8 Cards.
