Located on a hill street just off the main street – on both sides – local artists have rendered a colorful
pallet – enticing you to stop and look!
The street even has been painted a rainbow of colors!
The alley is colorful on both sides of the street – and also serves as an entrance to a dwelling on the street!

We had a family get-together at an Airbnb in Lynchburg, Va. to watch our granddaughters play college soccer vs. each other.
We walked the historic area and came across what is called ART ALLEY!
This is all done by artists of the area – bright – colors – designs and paintings!

Mary Paulsen – MARYS GONE WILD – http://www.marysgonewild.com 2431 Holden Beach Road – Supply, NC.
Mary has a unique style – painting from the back of the glass panes to the front so that it looks as if it were painted on the front of the glass pane!

We had lists of things to see and do while they were here for twelve days!
The downtime was also on those lists and arts and crafts for each of them.
Keeping three kids on the go – with rest times.
While he did the crafts by himself – we had to read a lot of the instructions to him so he would understand them. He will be in second grade in the fall.
He did very well and made the contraption to pick up items from the floor.
She would much more like to ride a horse but she was game and made the things you see here
even stitching the leather notepad holder.
She is our reader – books and books – always reading.
She is so talented – making things – she made the cards – painted the switch plate covers –
painted rocks and copied the American flag that President Bush painted – exactly like he did.
The list was long – but downtime was important and it showed in the arts and crafts.

While I have known she has the ability to create – it surprised me just how well she can draw.
Sherry saw a picture on social media of an American flag painted by President Bush –
for the celebration of July 4th.
I guess he just did it in a few moments – as he also is a good artist.
She asked Cassidy if she could do the same thing by looking at the picture!
It looks just like his!
She has a unique ability to look at something and reproduce it!
A few down days and she sat and started drawing!
No one bothers her and she is very quiet – only a pencil and paper.
She is her own self – and a quiet sweetheart.
She has a focus on detail – a sense of shade – these are all just penciled drawings.
I showed them to her mother and I think she needs to pursue this talent.

“OUR CASSIDY – SEEMS SHE IS AN ARTIST”!
The day before my birthday – we celebrated by going golfing with our close friends.
Then – after dinner at the club – we drove off into a beautiful sunset.

When we decided to build a new home – we made our selections – but there were things we wanted that had to come after the build – they – the builders did not offer them!
We had a list of things – small – and we had to either hire them done – or do them ourselves / some had to do with landscaping!
Those we hired to be done – involving planting trees – taking out pine straw – replacing with stones and rocks.
And putting in yards of mulch.
This we had wanted to do from the start – along with doing the same to the enclosed covered lanai.
Here – Sherry and I placed all the furniture from inside outside so I could prep and paint!
When you get old – crawling around on concrete does a number on your knees and feet!
So – I folded up old towels – four of them and would spread them out – so I could move along and paint the trim areas.
But – being old – I still needed to stand up after reaching the end of the four towels – just to stretch those muscles!
It took me two days but I did it! Cross this off the list – and now to put it all back together again.
Being old does not mean you can not accomplish a planned project – I know my limitations –
The feeling when done – is worth all those aches and pains!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World.
