Sunrise this Morning Across the Street
Lynn Joe Sheryl DickYesterday at Bottom's Up
Thank you everyone for making my birthday seem like such a special celebration. I had a wonderful day.
We Have Snow! It's lightly snowing this morning and had a little skiff in the night. Doesn't seem to be sticking much. The sun is trying to shine too with the flakes still flying. Joe went downtown to wash his truck again in the snow. Hope he's got his long johns on. And I hope it doesn't keep it up enough to deter people from coming to our art show reception at the library this evening.
The furniture store delivered my dresser and the second living room end table today. Now I can put my clothes away and quit living out of a laundry basket. The desk is on special order and will come in a couple of weeks. I'd like to get a couple more chairs from the furniture store.
Earlier I had gotten part of the ingredients out to bake some oatmeal cookies for the reception. Wish I had my cookie press but it's still at the ranch. I would have made those really yummy thin crispy Swedish butter cookies if I had the press, but oatmeal will have to do. And bars may be easier. - Well - later - and I never did get cookies made.
The telephone man was supposed to come this morning to finish up getting all the connections installed etc. But he didn't show up until after lunch. He said I needed a little box jack in every room where there was either already a connection (2 rooms) or where I might want to use a phone, computer or TV. So he and his helper started drilling a hole through the floor next to the molding in every room and got them fastened to the baseboard. I waited for a while for them to get finished and move their trucks from in the way of the garage door. Then they said they were done and left - except his truck was dead and was right in back of my car which was in the garage. Finally they drove one truck away and I backed out at an angle and headed for the art show a little late. And BTW I wasn't very impressed with these two guys. They never told me how to work the "plugs-ins", or set my computer up with the new email address I was to get, and several other things. And guess what - here comes the weekend.
I stopped at Ridley's and bought my homemade cookies. I saw Bonnie in there shopping so got to say hi to her. Then I got over to the library and helped a little bit to get the food ready for the art show reception. We always have a very nice layout of hor'de oeuvre's, and everyone enjoys the party. The reception and show really went well. Lots of people came. We had sold 12 paintings from the show last week and 8 more tonight. I sold some to the new Marbleton Clinic earlier this summer, and one small one tonight. We all think this was the best turnout and the best sales since we've been doing the show. I suppose we started doing an annual holiday show about 20 years ago, maybe longer.
Ruth came over this afternoon to see the house before we go to the art show. It's been a long time since we've seen each other and it was nice to have her stop by. After the show I came home and thought I would blog and look at email and ..... NO CONNECTION. I thought maybe it was something wrong with the Internet, and after several tries gave up trying to connect.
