peacocks and bees

I joined an online ATC group Monday. Am already a member of an altered art (not just ATCs) and still doing the face-to-face one here but, as I mentioned before, it is slow starting. I mailed out my ATCs for the peacock interpretation swap just now and I uploaded my entry into this month's Lottery. I also joined 2 swaps in my Altered Art online group... "Free Expression" & "Wings on Things". Those are not due until June so I have a month to work on them while I work, beach, walk, shop, wash dishes & laundry, and all those other fun-filled daily life activities.

I am a World Book Giver again this year & today is the day to go pick up my book!! I was assigned "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. I am so excited..I LOVE this book!

Sadly, today is off to a late start... pressure shift in the weather saw me awaken with majog headache pressure which, of course, left me tossing my cookies. Back to bed I went @ 8:30 and did not appear out from under the pillow until 10:10am. Sigh. So I have now eaten (and kept it down) as well as had a cup of java. Need to go to Barnes & Noble to pick up my box of books and I need to get my feet in the sand for a bit, maybe I will finish reading this month's choice for the book club I am a member of.

Art Day this month will be next Tuesday, 10-4pm... 6 hours seems like a lot but had a friend over for just 2 hours and we had barely really gotten started, so ... we shall see.

:-) blessings of sand & sunshine to you all!

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
