1000 Random Drawings

Introducing 1000 drawings of randomness. Whatever I felt compelled to draw, I drew. Some from a drawing cartoon animals book. Others were of a cartoon series I have been fond of. Began on 5/11/09, and finished 7/5/09, it has taken almost 2 months. In reality, there were 3 weeks that went by where I hardly drew, due to a major project. In short, it takes a lot of drawings to make just a little progress, so I keep trying. I could not find a good song on my own to go with this randomness, so I went with audioswap for the first time ever. Hope you all get something out of this. I absolutely love drawing Bolt more, but realize I need to venture out and draw a variety of things. In all, this gave me practice, and I still enjoyed the process.

The Summer Kitchen (Blue Sky Hill Series) Review

SandraKaye Darden doesn't need another thing to worry about. Her adopted son Jake has run away, her husband seems distracted, and her son Christopher is growing up and edging away. Then the call comes, SandraKaye needs to return to Poppy's house. Her grandfather's home had been a place of family and refuge and his sudden death has left her feeling empty and hurt. Now, when she needs her family to pull together, they are all moving in different directions and she has to face selling Poppy's house and letting go of her happy family memories.

Returning to the small, worn out house in a run down area of Dallas is just a reminder of better times and it seems impossible for Sandrakaye to let it go. Ignoring the suggestions of the Realtor just to dump the property, she decides to put some fresh paint into the place and then think about selling. Little does she know that the small house is still providing refuge to people in the neighborhood. Cass Blue is trying to keep things together for her and her younger brother. Since ditching foster care Cass has been on the move trying to find the two of them a home. One day a woman shows up with some free sandwiches and Cass dares to hope that life will be good. Though the neighborhood is down on its luck, there are people who give and who try to make their community a better place, like the book lady. Cass and Rusty can always find a book and moments of normal childhood within the walls of her store. But there is always danger....after all Poppy hadn't been safe in his neighborhood.

Lisa Wingate has returned with the second installment in the Blue Sky trilogy. Keeping true to the theme, the characters return to an older part of Dallas and the people who live or have passed through the neighborhood. The characters are well written and have a depth that makes the reader want to invest time in these people and dare to hope that their lives will work out. Characters who were first introduced in A Month of Summer, return, subtly interwoven into the story line. I picked up this book and did not put it down until I had reached the end. I loved it....and can't wait for the third installment.

The Summer Kitchen (Blue Sky Hill Series) Overview

From the author of A Month of Summer, an inspiring new novel in the Blue Sky Hill series about one woman's effect on a struggling Dallas neighborhood.

With her adopted son missing and the rest of her family increasingly estranged, Sandra Kaye Darden is drawn to the little pink house where her Uncle Poppy once provided security. What begins for Sandra as a simple painting project, meant to prepare the house for sale, becomes a secret venture that eventually changes everything.

Cass Blue is having trouble keeping food on the table since she ditched foster care. When Sandra Kaye shows up with lunch one day, Cass has no way of knowing that the meeting will lead to the creation of a place of refuge that could reunite a divided community.

In this moving story of second chances, two unlikely allies realize their ability to make a difference...and the power of what becomes known as the Summer Kitchen to nourish the soul.

New to me author - B. Lanford - South Carolina
I had not read this author before and was pleasantly surpirsed at how much I enjoyed this book. It was easy reading and one that I did not want to put down until I finished it.



Summer Kitchen - Vicky B. Parker - Tx
I love Lisa Wingates stories, they are so inspirational and usually surprising in their outcomes. She was able to solve the problems of Sandra Kaye and Cass Blue in the story about a wonderful old house that belonged to a beloved uncle Poppy. I had never heard of a summer kitchen before. Lisa's ability to tell about friendships, hardships and get you, the reader, involved with her characters are so great. The story also brings attention to how children survive when their parents aren't around and how much it means to have God in your life.



Excellent Read - weser - Houston, TX USA
Lisa Wingate has turned out another wonderful book. I love her way of making us see what is important in life, simple writing, yet with a profound message. If you have liked her other books, you will certainly enjoy this one. Happy reading.
