    That’s terrible..

  2. meghan11 – My education includes a BA in English Lit and an AST in interior design. I love the great outdoors, especially the desert where I find inspiration and materials for my art. My husband, who shares this blog with me, is an artist and craftsman. We enjoy the adventure of art and the art of adventure together.

    Very interesting site. Thanks for following The Adventure of Art. I haven’t posted to it for awhile as the adventure of just living day to day has kept me pretty occupied, but I will get back to it.

  3. oldpoet56 – America – Just an average man who tries to do his best at being the kind of person the Bible tells us we are all suppose to be. Not perfect, never have been, don't expect anyone else to be perfect either. Always try to be very easy going type of a person if allowed to be.
  4. GP – Everett Smith served with the Headquarters Company, 187th Regiment, 11th A/B Division during WWII. This site is in tribute to my father, "Smitty." GP is a member of the 11th Airborne Association. Member # 4511 and extremely proud of that fact!

    Unfortunately, change takes time. But trying to force people to think or act the way you want them to – never works.
