an evening in the life of... me!


alrighty... a wasted trip to pick up an Rx that called & said it was ready (it was not) so got home 15 minutes later than normal... and on Tuesday of all nights! For those of you local, you know Tuesday is BATH NIGHT!! So, and hour later I have 3 dragons bathed; all 6 lizards have had dishes picked up & habitats tidied. Last one in the tub is Indra, my swimmer. So he gets to stay in longer :-) to play. He has MBD (metabolic bone disease) so he does not support his own weight easily... but in the water he is KING! Mark Spitz may have been his daddy, who knows. This is him after his bathtime...

also, on the greeting card side of things, I have taken pictures of last night's 3 cards "By the Sea", "Art Washes Away" and "Dream" so will work those into the alphabetic posts as soon as I get them off the camera and into the computer.

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
