Today did not start well. Well, that's not completely true. Breakfast was delicious. My husband cooked eggs and turkey sausage and served those with whole grain tortillas. So good! But just before we sat down to eat, I reached to switch off the gas fireplace. In doing so, my sleeve brushed a pretty red bowl my sister had given me years ago. You know the end of that story.
A little later I walked to the garage carrying a quilt rack needed to display a raffle quilt donated to our art association. I realized I didn't have my car keys, walked back into the house to get them, returned to the garage and stepped into my car. As I backed out, I heard the thump. Yes, in those few seconds I totally spaced the fact that the quilt rack was sitting behind the car, waiting to be loaded into the trunk. How could I forget so quickly? I am often absent minded and have been throughout my years. I guess I could have done this when I was thirty, but I don't know.......maybe this was a real senior moment. I did come to my senses fairly quickly, loaded the mostly unharmed rack into my CRV and left for the art center.
As president of my art association, I had the honor of giving away over $11,000 to deserving art students. Wow! Imagine. We are a small town group of artists who, through several annual events, manage to fund our operating costs and annual student awards. I think that is amazing. The association has been doing this for years, so I take no credit. But I sure enjoyed being a part of it today. The looks on those high school and college kids faces when they opened those envelopes was ...well, I can't find an adequate word. They made my day, for sure.
Of course I forgot to take my camera.
