We had our Mixed Media meeting here today. It started off looking not so well for the meeting. Ruth got here right on time, while I was still vacuuming the studio and hadn't had my shower yet. And then we got some phone calls and it looked like no one was coming of the ones who said yes. Well then Sandy called and said she wanted to bring out the new set of architect plans for the center for us to see. We told her it was just Ruth and I - maybe it wouldn't be worth coming, but she said she wanted to get out of town. So she got here about 11 or so. In the mean time Nancy had driven up - she wanted to come whether the other gals did or not. So we had four. We printed out the description of the beads on the spirit necklace that Nanny gave me and followed each one around, with what they were made of and how old each one is - and marveled at the age of them. Just to touch a 5000 year old bead is rather awesome.
Then just about lunch time Cristy drove in and there were five of us. We had plenty of food, in fact way too much and it was pretty good. Ruth brought all the roast turkey sandwich makings, and I had the two salads and desert. We even all got some artwork done, as well as lots of gabbing. We had a meeting after lunch to discuss the center plans, but danged if we didn't forget to talk about our upcoming art show. But there's already a good plan so we'll be fine. And I worked on one of the commissions - the detail stuff that for quite a while doesn't look like you've done anything, takes a lot of time, wearing the magnifying glasses. But that's what makes the painting. I got worn out anyway, so must have had a good time.
Looks like everyone is showing the fall colors on their blogs. It is quickly turning to glorious perfection. I want to go out and get some more pictures soon.
Sheral called this morning and they made it to Houston yesterday. She said there is a lot of devastation but mostly that in this area blown down trees are everywhere. She is going to send some pictures for us to see. I'll share them with you. Joe started splitting wood with his log splitter today and spent the time out in the yard instead of the hen house. He might have enough wood left for two years.
Every day I look forward to Betty arriving and then to when Debbie will be here for a while.
