Status report: Taking day off to consult with specialist at regional hospital regarding various intertwined abdominal problems. Specialist consultant revealed as cool lady doctor with flouncy print dress & gold sneakers. Instantly impressed (by numerous characteristics that have nothing to do with dress sense). (Though yeah, the gold sneakers are unquestionably a plus.)
We take counsel and she declares her intention to convene numerous specialists to examine and discuss recent MRIs and other data. "Ah," I say, "the Council of Elrond." Response: immediate SNORT. 😄
I think I'm in good hands here.

Cindy's current home situation is so sad, but it gets told just as shock humor, so people pay minimal attention to it.
I hope that in the future games, this topic of her is treated more seriously, with zero dark humor surrounding it.
I love my baby i wish her better ☹️💔

I love love when I make a meal that fills the house with a comforting aroma and all the roomies comment on how good it smells.

So it often is—in the making of a home. At first the individual lives are self-assertive, and there is discord in the household. It takes time and patient love—to bring all into harmony. But if the wife and mother, the real homemaker, has learned this blessed lesson of quietness; her life is the one calm, clear, true song—which never falters, and which brings all the other lives, little by little, up to its own sweet key, until at last—the life of the home is indeed a song of love!
Sometimes it is a daughter and sister in the home, whose quiet sweetness blesses the whole household. She has learned the lesson of patience and gentleness. She has smiles for everyone. She has the joyful tact to dissipate little quarrels, by her kind words. She softens the father's ill-temper when he comes in weary from the day's cares. She is a peacemaker in the home, a happiness-maker, through the influence of her own lovingness of spirit—and draws all into her own quietness and peacefulness.
These are familiar illustrations of the blessing of quietness. Wherever we find it in any life, it has a wonder-working influence. It surely is a lesson worth learning—which is better than the winning of a crown! But can it be learned? Can the blustering, quick-tempered, rash-speaking man or woman—learn to be quiet and self-mastered? Yes! Moses learned it, until he became the meekest of men. John learned it, until he became the beloved disciple, lying on Jesus' bosom. It can be learned by anyone who will enter Christ's school, for He says, "Come unto Me. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me; and you shall find rest unto your souls." (Matthew 11:28, 29).
But quietness never can come through the smoothing of circumstances, so that there shall be nothing to trouble or irritate the spirit. We cannot find or make a quiet place to live in—and thus get quiet in our own soul. We cannot make the people about us so loving and sweet—that we shall never have anything to irritate or annoy us. The quietness must be within us. Nothing but the peace of God in the heart—can give it. Yet we can have this peace—if we will simply and always do God's will—and then trust Him. A quiet heart—will give a quiet life!

CHICANO ART MOVEMENTS visits: “Greetings from Home” 2023
Surveyed “Greetings from Home” at Moulton Hall on the Chapman University campus. This multi-artist showcase by the Escalette Collection displays different home representations impacted by environmental, governmental, and spiritual elements creating vibrant conscious and subconscious memories.
(Detailed view of the works by artist Ana Serrano and Laurie Steelink, respectively.)
The mission statement declared that “‘Greetings from Home’ exhibits artists who utilize ceramics and paper sculptures to portray their hometowns, recreating their upbringings through whimsical imagery and captivating color schemes.”
(First unit of Ana Serrano’s “Building Series,” 2012.)
It was stated by the Escalette Collection that “using cardboard and colorful acrylics, Mexican-American artist Ana Serrano is an architect. Recreating Los Angeles’ low income, Latino neighborhoods, Serrano spotlights ‘the spirit of an unplanned city,’ which captivated as a youth.”
(Second unit of Ana Serrano’s “Building Series,” 2012.)
I learned that Ana Serrano’s “Building Series”works were included. Within Serrano’s series (2012), my favorite was the middle casita with its wrap around garden & cool tones frond door which was a homey touch of this unique little block.
(Third unit named “Saritas #1” by Ana Serranoand part of her “Building Series,” 2012.)
This display was curated by the summer 2023 student interns of the Escalette Permanent Collection at Chapman University.
(Full view of all artists featured in the “Greetings from Home” display case located in Moulton Hall at Chapman University.)
Other participating artists were: Laurie Steelink, Jack Earl, and Cliff Hilliard.
