There are some days you just have to break your routine and celebrate life in a different way. Today was one of those days as Dave and I celebrated our 29^th wedding anniversary. All those years ago we “took the plunge” into marriage at the end of the dock in Northport Harbor. Today we spent the day together and then went out to dinner. Afterward, we took a stroll to visit our dock in celebration. Twenty-nine years and getting better every day!

I began this daily journal in February, 2026 as I prepared for three exhibitions. My solo exhibition, “Portraits From My Garden” at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY, on view from June 5 – September 15, 2026, and my work that was on view in the June, 2026 group show, “Raising Women’s Voices” in Chelsea, NYC.

My next solo exhibition titled “Centering in the Midst of Chaos” will be at the Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, November 3 – 28, 2026.
