countryside between Solon and Iowa City, Iowa. Rejeanne is one of my
most imaginative, creative and gifted friends and I admit, I sometimes
envy all that talent.
My visit with Rejeanne was composed of thousands of little bursts of
surprise and joy. Visually, her renovated country home has so many
interesting features wherever you look. Gardens were overflowing with
flowers, strawberries, tiny green tomatos promising sweet summer
salads ahead, herbs and vegetables of all sorts.
Rejeanne's produced and aquired artwork sparked smiles and little
moments of extra joy; I just love how she turned everyday or unrelated
objects into works of art.
What else produced these sparks of joy? The homemade soup for lunch,
fresh strawberries with dessert, games of Boggle, visits from Dolly
the dog next door, watching TV with the cats. Most of all, just
spending time with a friend I've missed.
