It is a gift to get up today without any rush or pressing goals to strive to complete!  Yes, there are things to do.  Even, checks to take to the bank for deposit.  Saturday was OK with sales.  Yesterday we had two or three hours of PEOPLE --laughter, hat trying on, scarf flipping around necks with eyebrows flirting and coy looks-- browse bin viewing and pleasant time spent sitting and talking over hot spiced cider. 

After our wonderful trip to Massachusetts last weekend, our week has been full of creating invitations for next weekend's open house as well as organizing, planning set-up and packing for the little craft show we had at church today.  It is amazing how much time can go into doing even a smalll two hour show.



For sure, taking hats and scarves, etc. along with two big paintings and a few browse bin things is MUCH easier than packing framed watercolors plus panels to hang on, etc. and so forth. . .

 

Anyway, this is the way my display looked today. 

 

Sold enough to make the time worthwhile and HOPEFULLY the exposure will bring more folks to my open house next weekend.

Came home, made some cookies and crashed on the sofa with football on TV.  Sure saw two exciting college games yesterday!  Being an alumna of the University of Alabama, I was happy to watch the Crimson Tide Roll over Florida!

And that, my friends is all she wrote for the moment.  I am truly grateful and CONTENT to be home, warm and OK for the moment with no more responsibilities to meet today expect to Behave, Be Present and BE.

God, bless us each and everyone according to our needs. 
Help where you can, wage peace and practice non-violence.

I feel blessed to be exactly where I am at this passing moment in the weaving of Creation's Story.

ROAD TRIP!

Sunday morning, five of us took off--quickie Saturday decision--for Boston and Worchester, MA.  First stop: Boston Museum of Science where we took in the Harry Potter exhibit--props, costumes, STUFF from various Potter films.  Fun to do.

Second stop: Ye Olde Union Oyster House

and------among other things--------ate oysters on the half shell


being me, brought some of the empties home and cleaned them up.



Early evening, moon almost at full, the lights and sights of Boston were lovely.


Hank the horse was wearing a lovely bridle



Spent the night in Worchester.  Monday morning we took a brief tour of Clark University, where Brook is a sophmore.  Saw part of the art gallery, her dorm room and suite, dining hall, etc.



Oldest son with statue of Sigmund Freud who gave a series of lectures at Clark in 1909.

It was delightful to see where granddaughter is studying, living and growing these days.

All is well,  Have a myriad of things to do for my open house the 12th and 13th and, throw in a two hour craft show this Sunday.  At least the invitations are all printed, addressed and ready to mail this morning thanks to efforts of dil Susie, to Paul and me for folding, sticking closed, addressing (with a semi-calligraphy pen yet!) and that is a biggie--112 invitations so far.  More will be passed out by hand, etc.

The adventure did me good.  Road trips should be taken whenever possible.  Life is short and moments are precious in their passing.

Ms. Moon is full tonight. 
Enjoy her and count your blessings.

Namaste!

 

Fill this day with dancing and songs of thanksgiving.
Clap hands, tap toes and nod your head.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.

Namaste!
