a day in the life....

Work is what it is...busy. Closed last night so got home around 7pm what did I find?? Laureli had mowed the front yard!! One thing crossed off my list of things to do and I'd only been home a minute. So I started on the back yard & mowed until it got dark. This morning, even BEFORE my coffee (it was still brewing) I finished mowing the back yard! Now, after imbibing coffee & breakfast I have showered & am ready for my day full of fun things I am required to do. 1st if meeting Casey & Anne for an Altar guild meeting @ 9:30am. Then an interview @ the Michael's Craft Store in the Crossroads Center. I was in there a couple of weeks ago & was helping another customer when a red shirted employee asked if I would like to apply for a job. Informed her I had one already. Her response was that they needed a part time paper crafting class instructor so I figured "Eh, why not?" and gave her my card. They called last week and I had the preliminary interview on Wednesday and now.... 11am today is the full on event. Next on the list is Sam's, lunch with the BF then home to pack for tonight's 5pm art group. I will be teaching a "10 cards in 20 minutes" class as well as a quickie way to turn ugly 12x12 paper into useful notebooks. Join me there....? Long Beach Church of Christ across from the WinnDixe & LBHS campus. Here is one of the cards we will be making tonight...

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
