The Moment that Made this Wife So Proud.

1459282_10102706053334307_545952545_nWe are in the home stretch. Cassy Tully – Fine Art studio and shop almost complete. Grand Opening this Friday, Dec. 6th, 6-8pm.  A labor of love and friendship that John and I have been so happy to be a part of for our dear friend, Cassy.

There are many moments I’ve been proud of John. But the past six months I have watched the man I knew I loved from the moment I met him, make me even prouder.

John has given of his time and construction talent in helping Cassy’s dream come true of a new studio and framing shop. This past Friday we had a little celebration with some family and friends at Cassy’s shop as we make our way to completion of her “room to bloom” creative project.

Through a few tears, Cassy thanked everyone for their support. She then presented a plaque that will hang in her new shop and studio:

Cassy Tully – Fine Art

Building our dream Studio and Framing Shop made possible by Barbara & John Techel & JT Construction.

ROOM TO BLOOM

Special thanks to the generous support of Pat & Tim Tully and all of our family and friends.

Watching Cassy show the special plaque to John, I thought my heart would leap right out of my chest with adoration and love. The look on John’s face is the man I’ve known all these years who cares deeply, gives without asking anything in return, and is proud to say Cassy is part of our chosen family.

I’m  so. very. proud of this man I call husband and friend.

Grateful Sunday- Welcoming Summer to My Writing Cottage

 

It’s been in the 80s the last few days. Summer has arrived early here in Wisconsin. Yesterday I spend most of the day planting flowers. There is something so rewarding to me to pretty up the outside of my writing cottage with colorful blooms. When I was all done I sat with Frankie and gave thanks for such simple pleasures. When I awoke this morning, I opened the blind in my bedroom so I could soak in the glorious view right away. I smiled and felt my heart ooze with gratefulness.  What are you grateful for today?
