Awesome Gathering!!!

Well... we had out reception/housewarming today.... ppl came from all over!! We entertained for about 6.5 hours ... which translates to "munched, showed off dragons & pythons, sipped coffee, munched some more, showed off hamster, kitties, house. " Really great group of ppl...mingled well with one another. I got to meet Spirits friends & coworkers, Spirit got to meet mine. I can not imagine a better way to have spent my Saturday, I tell ya! Especially since it was my 1st official Saturday off... Newbie works them now, and newer newbie starts Mon 10/2 and will be rotating. WHEEEEEEEEEEE I will actually know what "TGIF" stands for!! The ppl are now gone, leftovers in hand...Spirit got kitchen cleaned up while I tidied rest of house & put the babies to bed.... ahhhhhhhh BLISSSSSSSSSSS.

Agathos ate a pinky mouse... about 1/2 the size he needs to eat, but hey, after 30 days... a meal is a meal..I tell ya! Need to weigh Patches & Mischief, see if they've made any headway on their road to recovery from massive amounts of neglect. Some ppl, I tell ya... a pet of ANY kind is a commitment... stick to it or don't make it. You can't just figure, "oh well, they'll be okay" and then ignore them, mistreat them, or malnourish them...neglect is neglect, I don't care if it is a child or a reptile or a mammal... I could go on, but it is bedtime!!

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
