Another Painting of Roanoke near The Blue Ridge Parkway and I can't find it...

My Artwork

Campbell Avenue       Original Painting has been sold

Prints on paper or canvas available at     KENDALL KESSLER ART

Here is one more of my paintings of beautiful Roanoke, VA before I move on to other great places in Southwest Virginia.  This one is a great celebration of the beautiful pear trees that adorn Campbell Avenue.

I always include my phone number on the back of my paintings and was very pleased when the buyer called me to tell me how thrilled she was with the painting.  She hung it in her office.  I have seen her a number of times since then and she always tells me how much she loves it!

Computer Challenged

I am getting a lot of likes on my About page on Wordpress which is much appreciated but when I go to look at the people I follow I am taken to Gravatar which I am not sure I want to join at this point.   So, please be patient with me.  I didn't grow up with computers and they baffle me at times.

Life with the Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

My husband and I are noticing signs of aging that we don't like.  I'm sure no one likes the memory problems and general ditziness that we all get if we don't die young.

The other day I looked up Alzheimer's symptoms to make sure I am not developing that disease.  I found a list of symptoms of aging with two rows.  The first one was Alzheimer's and the second row was age.  

All of my symptoms are found in the second list.  Yea!!!

Yesterday I said to my husband I just can't cut the mustard anymore.  He said he couldn't even find the mustard!
