We Haven't Even Got to the Pretty Part yet.

[Karen Jensen]

My dear friends,

Today I had coffee with an old friend who told me a story about my
mother that was new to me. My friend had never been to a ballet
before, so one year, Mom and I decided to take her to see The
Nutcracker.

In the party scene, as everyone is dancing around the Christmas tree,
my friend reached over and whispered to my mother, "Oh, Mary, it's so
pretty."

Mama patted her on the arm and said, "Just you wait, honey. We haven't
even got to the pretty part yet."

I loved hearing that story about my mom--especially at this time in my
life when change seems to be the greatest constant. Change and love. I
can feel that surety coming straight from my mother. I almost feel her
patting my arm. You think this is great? You ain't seen nothing yet!

I've made some major changes that I want to tell you about. Tuesday
the 24th was my final day at Nueva Street Gallery. As I've said many
times, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I was given to show
my photos at Susan Carlin Art Studio and at Nueva Street. It was a
gas!

For now, you can always find me online, and I will, of course, keep
you informed about any shows or events where you can see me or my
photographs face-to-face.

I've begun work on my latest series, My San Antonio. I have lived in
and loved San Antonio for most of my life, and it seems only right
that I should show you all what I see in its streets and through its
people.

You'll be hearing from me soon. Don't forget to mark your calendars
for Windows on Main on Saturday the 4th and Schertz Market Dayz on
Sunday the 5th!

Love, Light, and Laughter,
Karen
