Visiting

Today is Tuesday (right?) I think so. We are in Woburn, MA near Allen and Johanna. We had a wonderful time with them last night. We went to eat at a local restaurant and then headed to their favorite Ice Cream place. I couldn't believe it was cold and rainy outside and the people were standing in line to get Ice Cream!!

When we were leaving we noticed a woman sitting at the front table by the window. We stopped and chatted with her as she was sketching a portrait of a soldier. The more we talked the more we learned what she was doing. She gets photos of local soldiers who have died in the war, sketches them and personally delivers them to the parents. By word of mouth the locals have found her and bring the photos and their stories to her. I grabbed her card thinking there is a website, but there is only a phone number. Here is her name and number: THE ARTISTIC TOUCH by Gina (781) 937.3835 (Regina Johnson) She truly has a gift!

It seems there is more to post, but right now I can't think of it. More later as we have a fun filled day planned.
