Blog day # 14 in a day of my life. When a little girl of few words- speaks volumes thru her art's!

     "ELLA B" AS WE AFFECTIONATELY CALL HER. My little granddaughter , who at 1 1/2 years old at Christmas time spent a week in the hospital, with what turned out to be Salmonella
from a tiny pet turtle that gad crawled across the floor where she played. Who would know that this could happen. It was scary- we almost lost her.

     "NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP"

     Flash forward. Now 8 years old- the silent shell that enveloped her after that terrifying experience for one week at Christmas, has slowly come down. A Soccer star in the making. Determination in her skill set. Entirely focused on the ball and her strength to go the length of the field and score! You see she plays in a co-ed league. Those are boys she's beating down the field!

     "PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP."

     Now she is funny, really funny when she doesn't know you are watching The little smile, the shrug of the shoulder, her dance moves. This is the ELLA B we have come to know and love. Now there is basketball and she can run. Someday I see her running in races. But this week, she really spoke volumes when her ART Work was chosen to be displayed at a art show! I look at this piece and I wonder how did she know how to do abstract art? It really has depth. And lately I have noticed how accurate she is getting , almost like she is tracing the pictures in her mind! I AM AMAZED!

     "A CATIPILLAR CRAWLS- A CACOON HANGS- A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY EMERGES, TO FLY AND SOAR-BEYOND IMMAGINATION."

     Our little ELLA G, growing before our eyes. Our prayers were answered! Now the butterfly soars. I am so proud of her. YOU GO ELLA B!
