Life has been busy at Life by Larabee. It&#8217;s summer, and there are trails to hike, gardens to tend, great meals to savor, and places to explore. I hope you are getting out as well and enjoying life, as life is what it&#8217;s all about.<\/p>\n<p>Still, an update seems in order. We have made some changes, adding to the things we love, such as art and a few spontaneous videos. I am participating in the Lancaster, Ohio, art walk this year with some of my paintings. On that date (July 21st, starting at 6 p.m.), the downtown streets will be closed, and businesses will host some fantastic artists. I will be located at St. Peter&#8217;s Lutheran, my church home. If you have the chance, join us for a tremendous experience of art and food. I have included one of my own paintings in this post as a sneak peek.<\/p>\n<p>Later this summer, Life by Larabee hopes to launch a shop to honor the sales requests we receive. Up to this point, we have not had a way to sell paintings, photography, or other Life by Larabee stuff we have floating around in our brains. We are also considering a YouTube channel for our Life videos. Hmm&#8230;how brave are we? Currently, we have posted a few on our LifebyLarabee Facebook page at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lifebylarabee\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lifebylarabee\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the read. Retirement is grand, a golden opportunity to explore all the ideas we never had the time for in our work life. But life also comes with challenges. If you are a senior, you will know what I am talking about. Things around here creak, and it&#8217;s not the door. We hope to share more adventures with you as Life continues\u2014interesting finds and activities, peppered, of course, with lots of humor. Stay cool. Stay blessed.<\/p>\n<p>Deb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while. Life has been busy at Life by Larabee.
