Where has The "Old Barn" Lady been???

July 16th, 2025

Hello All,

Once again, I am here to explain to everyone, 'Where I have been since my last blog post'

A lot has been happening behind the scenes, both in my professional and personal life. I will try to fill you all in here today.

PROFESSIONALLY:

~ Obtained a space at CB Creative Arts in Colonial Beach, Virginia

~ Participated in exhibits in Virginia and Pennsylvania

PERSONALLY, my family has walked through:

~Death of Dad on November 9th, 2023

~Helping Mom after Dad's Death, to include a major surgery & rehabilitation center stay in December 2023

~ Mom's Knee replacement surgery in April 2025, then supporting her while she was in the rehabilitation center after the knee surgery

~ Mom's hospitalization in May 2025 with pneumonia

~ Mom's 2nd hospitalization for pneumonia in June 2025 for 3 weeks

~ Mom's Death on June 23rd, 2025

~ Raising an active teenager involved in sports throughout the year

~ Working a part-time job with Spotsylvania County Schools

Goodness, I am tired just writing all of that, and I am sure I missed a few things.

However, I do not tell you all of this for pity, but to let you know why I haven't kept up with this blog.

There is new work that can be seen at CB Creative Arts in Colonial Beach. They are Open 7 days a week (Sun-Tues 11am-5pm and Wed-Sat 10am-6pm). TELL THEM THE "OLD BARN" LADY SENT YOU.
