Ready to bring the Sunshine to the Bluegrass State. Figuratively and literally since Sunshine is a nickname various people have called me my whole life 🌞

Aunt Gloria Lee will be home in FL for health reasons. Please keep her lifted in prayer. She will be on video during the LexArt Hop so she will not miss it.

Wow what another great day with the Suwannee River Regional Library System. Gloria Lee had an amazing time at the Jasper Library. You can see the joy she experiences in her face and she shares the stories of MR. Ernest M. Lee. It's not too late to head over to see the vibrant art work. It will be there until the end of February..
