Hi Ken,

Thanks for the reply. Wish I had a talent and interest for something like your painting pastime.

A short story about a painter. On most mornings my wife and I go outside and walk a couple miles for exercise in the neighbor hood. We almost always take the same route and walk between 6 and 7 am. There is one house where an old and very gray man lives alone and we walk by that house usually around 6:30 am. He apparently loves to paint because we frequently see him in the front window standing there painting a picture on his easel. Lately it is still dark so we can see in easily because he leaves the drapes open and has lights on inside. His painting is probably 20 feet from the sidewalk so we get a fairly good view. This morning when we passed, my wife said look at that, he is painting a scene with a lighthouse. It gives us a warm feeling and brings a smile to see the old guy there painting as he has for years.

take care
