well damn

so much for escaping December unscathed...I was SO close, too!! Caprice transmission died on Christmas Eve, Chester died on Christmas Day, which I discovered right before phone call tellimg me Granddad's liver cancer is inoperable...then got a call 12/26 that Mary A overdosed. Crappy, crappy way to do a "holiday". God thing I choose to celebrate Winter Solstice instead...otherwise might have scarred the whole xmas deal for me.... Saw twin & his family xmas eve, then Eliz & family for xmas day... all very nice... got to point I just wanted some alone time tho... stopped at Pet store & adopted Lizzie. Turned out she was considered a "genetic defect" and "damaged" & "unsellable" all because she is missing her back left foot. Poor girl... anyway, took her home, regardless ... told vet I was missing a brain, Lizzie a foot... we are perfect for one another. Got some kickass music for the holiday... thanks to all of you that asked me what I wanted, then got it for me... I love that deal! Celiva will soon have a stereo again (kisses to the Queen) and then I can listen to BLS, Nickelback, Korn... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

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
