wow...4 weeks later

I see that trying to keep up with this is a bit farfetched... a lot has happened in 4 weeks. I have seen my mom, and been to my brother's. Work is picking up, getting rolling. Wove a test purse, tiny little thing...sound concept tho. Still working out some of the kinks but moved on to a bigger one on a 2'x1' board. Borrowed sewing machine from Mom but broke the damn needle Sunday with only 1 side left to baste...grrrr. Listening to carols on radio now, holiday cards all made (over 30 this year!) and going out in the mail this week. Whew! Art day hosted here 11/12 was fabulous, and next one will be an all day event in Salado @ Kate's studio. Happy Dance. Saw David Carridine @ the Iron Cactus last weekend whilst Eliz & I were perusing the Victorian Christmas on 6th Street. And our annual "Johnson Holiday Dinner" is the 17th of Dec. So goes the month!

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
