fall is here!

An ABSOLUTELY gorgeous morning with windows open, birds singing, cats out playing... and the dog snores on, LOL. I spent yesterday from 10:30am-1:30pm becoming a member of the Gulfport Gem & Mineral Society. Met some interesting people, had a tasty potluck lunch, and now to see where it goes from there. Still trying to find people who are really interested in Art Day with free tutorials. workshops, etc being held at my house monthly. Trying to be patient. Have thought about stalking people in the paper crafts aisle at Michael's & Hobby Lobby craft stores but am not quite to that point....yet.

No real plans for today other than St Pat's by 8am, home for some lunch, pack meals for work tomorrow & set out clothes... then PLAY TIME! Rainy weekend here has been really lovely. Saw some terrific great blue herons winging along the shore yesterday... may go back today with my camera & see if any of them are cooperative. Maybe down to the old beatup pier for some pelican shots. and some cards,... love to play with some paper when I have a few free moments.

May the Fall Equinox find you and shower you with blessings all the day long...Blessed Be.

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
