Lilacs and Hummingbirds

Mary Yingling is our local artist and a long-standing member of the Lake Latonka Women's Club. For the Silent Auction at last month's Spaghetti Dinner, she donated a painting just like this one. Marcie N was the Spaghetti Dinner chairperson and wanted that painting badly! However, being incredibly busy, she didn't have time to even place a single bid. So in between my assignments, I made sure I was the highest bidder. My plan was to surprise Marcie with the painting at the end of the evening. Unfortunately, at the last second, I lost the bid! So I commissioned Mary to paint another. I picked it up today and gave it to Marcie as a thank you for all she's done for the LLWC and for knitting Baby Owen a beautiful afghan last fall. She is such a hard worker and such a kind person.
