"Go East", they said...: St. NIcholas

Dear Friend;

Come along, make haste and join us in our adventures while living "In The East".

We are living in the east, geographically speaking, after a sudden work transfer beckoned us almost across the entire country, splitting our family in half with grown children/grandchildren remaining behind on the west coast.

We moved into our new home April/06 but never knew it would be God's providence to endure another move for work and positioning for a future medical situation. We moved again amidst 4 feet of snow in mid Dec/08.

We hope to continue sharing our pioneering moments with our family and friends back home, creating an environment for tenderly passing along the new memories we'll be making over here in the east, those that will stand the test of time in both thought and deed.

Sprinkling some ambiance into the mix will be a fully loaded and most positive outlook while we're on this adventure and new challenge together.

Please join us while we journey onward. Feel free to email me with your comments, questions or ideas. We welcome you here.

Sursum Corda!
Renee

St. NIcholas

St. Nicholas artwork

We had four children attempting their artistic hand at coloring icons of St. Nicholas this week, using various mediums and shading techniques, hoping to follow the colorings of the original icon offered for viewing along with the sitting. Their endeavors are shown here, yet incomplete as they are to be properly mounted onto wooden boards yet and antiqued with lacquer.
