My friend Patty and her partner Duffy aren’t going to the rodeo parade tomorrow as it is almost impossible to park within miles of it, but called to see if Marti and I were going. When I said I wanted to, Marti said she’d go along and Patty offered to drive us down and leave us off. Then, without telling us about it until afterwards, Duffy went down to Main Street and put these two chairs out for us to save the ace space for viewing in front of the Mint Bar! Sweet friends.
My Day So Far
My day started with a visit from Ellie, who came to do her weekly cleaning. While I made us coffee, she washed windows, and just as I sat down with my cup and my computer, she held up this little fellow. He was so tiny. Also, unfortunately, he was not alive. I hope by natural causes and not by Ellie’s hand!
Next on my agenda was my Saturday writing group. There was a huge group this time–23 by my count. We’re planning a reading for next week. Here are two shots of the group.
Next was a party at a new friend’s house on the mountain directly above the bull ring where the rodeo will be held for the next three days. I met Jan when she came to my house to see my work at the end of the day right after the art walk. She brought pictures of her own work which is fabulous. She, too, uses found objects. As you can see by these photos, both her home and her work is unique. We are planning a materials-gathering expedition together.
