Miss Lorraine of PieCake Primitives tagged me for a six-word memoir this week, and it was one I had to think about!
~Life's Unexpected Challenges Bring Unexpected Gifts~
Both of my boys have Autism and are on the higher end of the Autism spectrum.I don't believe I've written about this since I started blogging last April...... April being Autism Awareness Month, (and yes, I'm VERY aware of autism, Lol!), and April is also my one year blogaversary, I'll have to have some sort of give away,
Hmmmmmmm? Anyway, back to the tag.... My six-word meme describes our family. What some may label as "challenges", (and on those "not- so- great- days", I describe them as "frustrations"!), these are really gifts that are unique to my boys.
And, as an added bonus, life in our home is never boring! Case and point....my younger son was playing around with my camera (without my knowledge) and when I downloaded my photos, I found his decorated toe....Really glad that was the only body part I found!
(enlarge to see the smiley face!)
Here are the instructions for the Memoir:
Post six words that sum up your life.
Ernest Hemingway was bet $10.00 that he couldn't sum up his life in six words. He won that bet when he wrote, "For sale, baby shoes, never worn."

Hmmm ~ now I am going to have to actually THINK! lol!
Tell B-- that he has a cute toe!
Happy Spring to you and yours!
Hi Suzanne, I enjoyed reading your post and learning a tick bit more about your life outside of what I know about it, which is your beautiful art.
Nice toe by the way!! : ) Hope you all have a great Easter at your house. All the best.
Happy Spring to you Suzanne.
Special parents are chosen for special children.With the right support and love your sons will grow to be fine adults.I can already see that one of them could be a comedian or perhaps a film maker. It takes a steady hand a wonderful imagination to dress up one's toe for a photo shoot!
Have a lovely Easter too.

Hi Suzanne,
I finally got the chance to see what everybody's been up to this week. All I have to say is kudos to you !!! Love the toe! I don't have it anywhere near as bad as you do, my son is on the lower end. But at 3 yrs. old, Yikes! is all I have to say. But enough of that. I've been busy this week, After Easter please stop by I'll have updated with nice Easter stuff, Hopefully. Happy Easter and Welcome Spring!!
Truly,
Maria
Thank you for your visit! Your art is just beautiful-- I've really started getting into American folk art myself, it has such heart! Beautiful paintings!~

HI Suzanne! It's me, Carole. Just wanted to stop by and tell you that I got a chuckle out of the photo your son took of his "smiley toe", but when you mentioned that you were happy that that's all you found on that camera, I had to laugh out loud!
Suzanne, I love your meme and that photo is absolutely priceless!
Happy Easter!
Pat
