My back is much better, but I have

one last chiropractor visit today.

Delivery of my art work to the Portraits Of Stafford

art show this weekend will be done by Kim this afternoon.

When it gets to be the actual time of a show or meeting I often

don't want to go and have to talk myself into it or cancel.

It all stems from being an ultra sensitive type----

failure or disappointment, which we all must plow through,

rolls me under and then it takes a spell

for me to bloom again.

Wrong Place

Today's Blog is not placed right and is the second one down---

"That's What I'm Talkin Bout ! "

I must have extreme sharp ears, for if I am up and about, I will hear the tiniest sound outside, even if I am at the sink washing out a few dishes.

I thought it was a mouse, that came in from the fields rather late in the season-- out in the front hallway----instantly, I am terrified of this intrusion and just pray he goes back to the field---then my curiosity gets the best of me and as I near the hallway I hear the same noise on the other side of the door---ah HA!---someone is out there obviously trying to be quiet---I will surprise them! Too late, they are in their car but I see it's thoughtful Mary---who has left me a red envelope with small red treasures in it. What a delight!--She's the first to do this except another friend brought me delicious red cranberry horseradish sauce, which will soon be gone without a trace of red remaining....each one of these items is special and conjures up "stories" to me. I had a time opening the lighter---to see what it was---a souvenir from a long ago New Years Eve at the Fairfield Inn back when smoking was a way of life and they probably had live candles at each table for the guests dressed in their finery. Notice the fellow lighting two cigarettes at once---one for his starry eyed date. He is anxious for the clock to strike midnight... ohhhhhh, what is that whistle for the Reds item??????

SOUR GRAPES

Wed. 1 30 08

These grapes can not be helped in any way to taste good----wicked sour and the only way to know this, is to try one at the produce counter--I think the store should be proud of what they offer and encourage the taste test---after getting ripped off with such fruit, I take a long time buying more from that store---then give in, thinking they must have improved their selections --and guess what?----still offering poor fruit----I often take such things back, but the meal I bought them for has past without them...we ought to get paid for our time spent, gas and distress--- at least I got some photos!

Charmed Creative Spirit

Tuesday Jan 29 2008

When I made this new charm Bracelet

last weekend, I had to study one

I had made a year ago to figure out how

to do it. I have sold all the ones

I made before, except one Ireland

one for me. This one honors

the creative spirit of women

in different paths of life

Here's are my pieces ready to go in the front hallway. Please don't tell everybody what I'm putting in the exhibit for the Portrait Of Stafford art exhibit Feb 1st, 2nd and 3rd down at the Town Hall downtown.

It'll spoil the element of surprise
