Award winning artist Sonya Diimmler
paints colorful South Carolina lake and landscapes along with her favorite
subject and muse her Bulldog Smedley and her Boston Terrier Mattie.
Having just started painting in 2015,
Sonya fell in love with the process and quickly began a daily painting practice.
She continually seeks to improve through frequent workshops and has studied with Mary Bentz Gilkerson and Michael Story.
In 2016 she joined the Crooked Creek
Art League in Chapin where she
served first as Workshop Coordinator
and currently serves as President.

Several years ago, Sonya left a 20 year career in legal administration, to return to her love of catering. She is co-owner of Diimmler’s Catering & Special Events

When she is not catering, she can be
found in her studio. Every day is an opportunity to create.

Dewees Island Escape
24” x 30” Oil on Canvas
$425 framed
“Dewees Island Escape” was inspired
by a plein air painting venture she
took with her Mother shortly after her Father passed.
They had beautiful weather but no clouds and she loves to paint clouds so naturally she had to invent some and add them to a larger piece when she got back to her studio.

THURSDAY
APRIL 25th, 2019
|
|
On April 25th, we observe National Telephone Day.
The correct answer to a trivia question
like “Who invented the telephone?” is the name on the patent.
In this case, the whole world knows the answer is Alexander Graham Bell.
Had his attorney been delayed by foul weather or poor planning, the answer may be a different name.
It was February 14, 1876, when Marcellus Bailey, one of Bell’s attorneys rushed into the US Patent office in Boston to file the patent for what would be the telephone.
Later the same day, Elisha Gray filed a patent caveat for a similar device.
A caveat is an intent to file for a patent.
There is also a third contender.
Antonio Meucci filed a caveat in November of 1871 for a talking telegraph but failed to renew the caveat due to hardships.
Because Bell’s patent was submitted first,
it was awarded to him on March 7, 1876. Gray contested this decision in court,
but without success.
|
|
Born March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh,
United Kingdom, Bell was an instructor at a boys’ boarding school.
The sounds of speech were an integral part of his life.
His father developed a “Visible Speech” system for deaf students to communicate. Bell would later become friend and benefactor of Helen Keller.
Three days after the patent was approved, Bell spoke the first words by telephone to his assistant. “Mr.Watson, come here!
I want to see you!”
By May, Bell and his team were ready
for a public demonstration, and there
would be no better place than the
World’s Fair in Philadelphia.
On May 10th, 1876, in a crowded Machinery Hall, a man’s voice was transmitted from a small horn and carried out through a speaker to the audience.
One year later, the White House
installed its first phone.
The telephone revolution began.
Bell Telephone Company was founded on July 9, 1877, and the first public
telephone lines were installed from
Boston to Sommerville, Massachusetts
the same year.
By the end of the decade, there were nearly 50,000 phones in the United States.
In May of 1967, the 1 millionth telephone was installed.

NATIONAL EAST MEETS
WEST DAY
|
National East Meets West Day is observed annually on April 25th.
Also known as Elbe Day, this day commemorates the day the Eastern
front of the Allied forces met the
Western front on the River Elbe.
World War II had been raging for over six years. During the previous year, several events had begun to turn the tides of the war against the Axis powers.
|
|
In April of 1945, the Allies were marching toward peace, but it would require a coordinated effort from both American troops in the East and Soviet armies
from the West.
The units were not supposed to make contact with each other.
They were given orders to remain on
their eastern and western banks of the river while officers from each division formalized occupation of Berlin.
However, when the two armies met on April 25th south of Berlin outside Torgau
on the River Elbe, patrols were sent across the river in a small boat.
The first to make contact were American First Lieutenant Albert Kotzebue and Soviet Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Gardiev along with their commands.
Two days later, photographers commemorated the event of the Eastern front meeting the Western front.

NATIONAL ZUCCHINI
BREAD DAY
|
We observe the food holiday National Zucchini Bread Day on April 25th.
|
|
Many explorers who came to the Americas brought back what they considered strange foods, including the zucchini.
The zucchini eventually found its way to Italy where it was named zucchino.
Native American referred to zucchini as “something eaten raw.”
However, we all know that zucchini tastes best cooked, especially in bread.
|
|
On April 25th, people across the nation observe National DNA Day.
|
|
The science journal, Nature, published a short letter written by James Watson and Francis Crick on April 25th announcing their discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
Fast forward to 2003 and The Human Genome Project whose goal was to map the nucleotides contained in human DNA was declared complete on the same day.
|
|
NATIONAL HUG A
PLUMBER DAY
|
National Hug A Plumber Day is observed across the country on April 25th.
|
|
Whether it is a minor leak to a
major clog, a plumber will have the right tool for the job.
They have been keeping the water flowing since ancient Rome.
Consider how plumbers improve our lives and health in the modern world.
Their contributions could be inventions
the human race would have a difficult
time living without.
Given a choice between using only a flush toilet or a smartphone for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
|
|
NATIONAL TAKE OUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS
TO WORK DAY
|
National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is recognized on the fourth Thursday in April each year.
|
|
This annual event is an educational program in the United States and Canada where parents take their children to work with them for one day.
It is the successor to Take Our Daughters to Work Day which, in 2003, was expanded to include boys.
Most companies allowed both girls and boys to participate since the beginning, renaming the day
“Take Our Children to Work Day.”
