Well, time got away....

It seems my last blog post was May 13th. How does time go by so fast??? I did not do an "end of the month" check-in. I guess my Birthday was more important, LOL. And I got to travel home finally and visit family & friends :-) Way more important than a blog post. Just to stay on track though, I am going to post for May and June (since this month is over halfway done already and B U S Y). Monthly goals are: #1) Follow my budget in order to pay off ALL debt by this year's end. Moving along ... Big Blue and I are trying to stay on top of things and update the plans for repayment. #2) Create one piece of art each month... an 8x8 canvas, a journal or booklet, a mixed media piece, just something artistic. This did NOT happen this month... just the art for swaps I am in. Like I said above... been busy! #3) Participate in my art group's "Birthday Club" where we send a handmade card & ATC to those celebrating birthdays. Done and mailed thru=ough June. #4) 2020's weekly scrapbook layout challenge over at the Scraptacular Cropping Club. I have completed 1 through 24 and am current! #5) the Monthly lottery challenge in my ATC Art Group on IO Groups. I missed May (the month went by so fast!) and June's theme is vegetables, which doesn't inspire me so, no.

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
