and so winds down the day...

Well, it is now Saturday evening and I am in N Austin. A friend of mine has some Word.doc issues, so I came up after the "Art Day" to lend some support. Art Day was great!! Pam was there, and Elizabeth, and Gayle, and Rhonda (of COURSE, it is HER house!!). A newbie braved I35 and came as well... I believe her name was Ava. Really interresting (and funny) lady. I worked on some of my mandalas for Rhonda's6/6 swap that the due date is looming for, as well as some polymer clay embellishments for the "Create With Clay" swap I am hosting on ATC World (see link to left). My son used his college fund to purchase a set of golf clubs today... that is okay, it is not up to me at this point, he IS 18, after all. Just means he'll have to start working more in order to pay for his second semester. I had set aside enough for his Freshman year @ Texas State, but if he insists on spending it on other things, he'll have to fund the rest of his Freshman year himself. Sigh... kids... all that time, energy, money... and look what happens. Ah well.

Yes, Art Day was great. I love seeing you and all the other women and their art.

I agree, it was really brave of Ava to come since she didn't know any of us. I had meet a friend of hers when I was Art Fest in April who told me Ava was moving to Austin. I mentioned our monthly art get togethers and she hooked me up with Ava by e-mail.

I finished my paper dolls for my swap finally!!! And also some ATCs.

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.

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
