Will Art Flow Downhill or Float?

An interesting week.  The art thing later.

Dad is out of the hospital and on his way down with the lovely Myrnita, can't wait to see them!

Leni made it through her day at the doc's and I think the nail marks on my hand are almost gone.  She is such a trouper, so brave, so lightheaded yet down to earth.  Makes even moi in awe of her example ( and I have enough ego for at least 3 of us!)  So far no word, but then no news may be good news.  Here's hopin'

Chris Jr, Marine extraordinaire, is planning to get his degree in Homeland Security stuff.  I will sleep better just knowing he is out there.  Sky is planning his next hand...Laura is taking a quiz.  Such busy bees, everything they build is honey to me.

The weather leaves big Chris uncomfortable but still, it is cozy when it rains and Stevie Ray is on the T.  The wolfpack is getting antsy to run on drier grass and I am getting tired of slipping on wet poop.  Ahem.  But I have a full rainbarrel and baby peppers growing by the front door.

On Art.  Went to the meeting at Weeki to form a Citizens Support Organization.  The mural thing is on hold (at least at the theater) but the powers that be assure me that there will be opportunities elsewhere.  So I will continue to paint park stuff in readiness and anticipation of that assignment.  I got to see Barb and Vicki and Fawn Germer, a wonderful author of fiction and non fiction, already endeared to me with her novel"Mermaid Mambo" and now knowing that her Mustang Sallies intro is the Commitments singing Mustang Sally, one of my alltime favorite songs.  Vicki, Barb, Fawn, and John all viewed my Vicki painting and I was thrilled to see their reactions.  A good day!  I heard from my soul sisters Evie and Lynne with lots of encouragement and great friendship.  What more can I ask for?  And also

Julia Royal, my Circuit City twin sister, asked me to paint a dragon on her jeans that she plans on wearing to a hair competition in Orlando.  She has worked so hard since I have known her, in fact, to live her dream of doing hair and making a good life for her family!  Of course I said yes, and the evidence is this picture.  It is supposed to be a lucky dragon, but then, she already has the skills and heart to make her mark at the show.  Good Luck, my friend!

My Cory, my Stefi, my Leni, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Sulu, Uhura...yep.  A good week to have made it this far.  Live long and prosper!
