Too Long

Yes, it has been a long time since I blogged. Time is zooming by. Tomorrow we take Buddy and Roo to the gym. We do that every Wednesday. Can it be that a week has passed since the last trek to town? My head is spinning from the speed.

Anyway, to catch up....

My visit to San Francisco was time well spent. I returned inspired to work. While there I made a commitment to host a show at our Art Center. I am excited and eager in spite of the time and energy it will take.

So.... I will probably be preoccupied with the exhibit as well as preparing for my own show in February. I am already running behind schedule for that. Oh my! I guess that is nothing new.

AND! My daughter will present a paper in the UK in January! Since she will need to be there for my 70th (GASP!!!!!) birthday, she's invited me to go with her. I hope to hear her presentation, then we will spend my birthday in London. Wonderful. Hmmm, I think I remember saying I was ready to stay home for a while. But never mind:)

Meanwhile I have been painting like a crazy woman, working on art center tasks, cooking Hungarian goulash, and watching the grandchildren grow.

Today Roo's class enjoyed a field trip to a pumpkin patch. When Papa and I met her after school, she was loaded down with a backpack full of pumpkins. She insisted on wearing her pack to the car - quite a feat for that tiny little girl. I didn't think she could do it, but she was determined. What a kid.

When we met Buddy, we were sure he had grown since Thursday, so we made a new mark for him on the pantry door. He's grown over two inches since February. Impressive.

My other project is deciding on new upholstery fabric for the living room, balancing safety and courage. We'll see how that turns out.

I think I getting ready ton toss all my allergy meds. We'll see how that turns out, too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
