Anniversary

A little dittie Sam wrote on our chalkboard wall.  We both had to do math.  Were shocked to discover 27 years......  And we said it wouldn't last.

It Takes a Rainbow / Now Let's Go Nationwide!

Congrats to all my gay friends.....You are one step closer to gaining equality.  Now go get married in the states that allow.  It's just a matter of time before all states will have to recognize your status. 

Big Birds

For The Birds

This spring we had an energetic Robin build not one but two and a half nests in the rafters of our back porch.  This has been a lot of fun because we can watch two adult Robins feed 3 baby birds.  Right now they are all using the nest to the left.  The half nest is no more.  Not sure about the extra nest. 

I can lay on the sofa and watch the babies beaks peak out over the nest.  Then one of the two Robin's arrive with food in beak.  Sometimes they are both there to feed the little ones.  It takes so little to entertain me these days:)

Conclusion of the Adventure

Out of that overloaded van...............Caroline and Robbie manage to set up their show booths.  We are so glad we traveled in one van because it made the drive to and from Atlanta so much more enjoyable.  We both managed to set up our "A" booths.  The crowds were plentiful; however, sales were not enough to justify the travel expenses and time away from home.  Maybe we could build a following but really there are more opportunities close to home. 

Loading the van.....for Robbie and Caroline's Excellent Adventure

Leaving for Atlanta to be in the Dunwoody Splash Festival Art Show.  Traveling with Caroline Zama.  The plan was to follow each other.  But.........we decided it would be more fun to be in the same van for the 6 hours and 18 minutes travel time.   Unloading and reloading may also take 6 hours and 18 minutes.   I'll keep you posted.  PS my luggage is now those flexable pokadot bags.  I always knew I was one step away from being a bag lady.

Closet Re-do

Posted on March 18 about the closet re-do and now April 18 it is done.   My small closet has been turned into a walk in.  Doubled the size of the original closet footprint.  Relocated heat and air.  Moved electric.  Sam my personal handyman built the walls and installed the dry wall.  I was in charge of filling, patching, and painting.  Then spent the week installing hardware.  Hooks are more useful to me than hangers and they take up less room.  Ceiling has, you guessed it, hooks for my sun visors.  Hooks, Hooks, Hooks!

The back of the mirrored doors have see thru pockets to hold belts, buckles, etc..  I was able to work in the cute, hand painted, thrift store ottoman (stored in my attic for a decade) and all my shoes are in clear tubs along the perimeter.

My years of  planning a 10 by 10 booth at art shows assisted me in this 6 by 6 space.  Organized at last.  Takes so little to make me happy.
