A day off! The only work-related item is a nap so I have enough sleep before I have to be at work at OMG AM tomorrow morning. I need some crimp beads since it seems I am either out or I cannot locate any in my stash. Since most of you know I am fairly well organized, I am better it is the first choice rather than the latter. Thought I would make some more seasonal cards to send out personally. Am going to run to post office later today for my roomie so may as well get my cards ready to send out.
All 4 cats are out (3 are free-ranging, 1 which makes me a nervous wreck, sigh) and so is the dog, Slightly damp from last nights rain but they do not seem too put out by the weather so out they are. A couple have come in for breakfast but returned to the wild ASAP. I, however, have not yet had my breakfast. I am imbibing coffee so it is the next best thing to actual food.
Also on my "to do" list today is to write both of my pen pals and catch them up on November's happenings. May actually type those today instead of handwriting since typing is quicker and more legible when I am in a hurry. And since it is already 9:30am and I nap at 1pm, I am already running out of time. :-( So... away I go. Have a blessed day!

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
