way too early....

Between Callie and Cappi, I was apparently not meant to sleep in today...sigh. On the plus side, I am up early enough to get my car to the shop for its oil change and catch a ride back to the house so I can create some cards. Made a few last week, sent one to David as a Thank You for the crispy catfish dinner last Sunday. Now working on my second cup of coffee while the space heater does its thing in here. Hands need to be able to feel the paper I am gluing, you see...and it is a bit chilly in South Mississippi this morning. It is so chilly that the kitties are not exactly outside... they are in the garage. Close enough to outside without the discomfort of cold, LOL. And, since their kitty tree thing (6ft tall wood & carpet structure) needs to be recovered, that is where it is currently parked. So they are happy to be out there with it. I am sure they are already "discussing" who gets the very top spot, sigh.. Off today, tomorrow AND Sunday! 3 days in a row. Since I was scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, this is my reward. Then, starting Monday, I will begin working the rotating schedule of MWF one week and TTS the next. MWF - Mon, Weds, Fri; TTS = Tues, Thurs, Sat. So one weekend I will have 1 day off, the next I will have 3. All in all, I like it. working 3 days per week gives me some time to do things like meet friends for coffee, go to the bank, get groceries, run errands.. and MAKE CARDS!

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
