Labor day/Fall

Summer's over?! Put away all those white garments?! Summer 09 has past?!, hmmm. My determined goal to make summer 09 memorable has fallen a tad short of my well intented expectations. I did manage to have my old High School friend Cheryl pay a welcomed visit. Very fun preparing for it, and Super fun enjoying our time together....many laughs and a few ventures out and about. Had a summer 4th of July party, fun planning and preparing...(never mind I screwed up and held it the wrong evening for the Country Club fireworks as the main event of the party!), it was great being hostess, a role I dearly have missed and plan on stepping into moreso in the future. Didn't make it on to a boat...didn't make it to a beach...or a long summers ride on a Harley....Didn't make it to any parks or picnics, lots of "didn't make it's". For the most part however it wasn't a blindingly exhaustive summer of art production and work related travel (greatful) I had one nice show in Michigan, had some fun with a few garage sale extravagnzas, helped a photographer pal at his big Columbus artshow, planted a terrific vegetable garden, worked on and completed two very handsomely priced commision scultptural pieces, managed one nice trip with a date out to the yacht club to enjoy a brief few hour trip down memory lane and kick it up with Eddys band...always fun. All and all, not a terrible summer by any stretch, room for improvement next year, like most everything...there's always room for improvement. FALL....A big art show in Louisville, early October...looking foreward to it, a great town, has been a lucrative show in the past, haven't done it in about 4 or 5 yrs. no telling with this economy how it shake out, none the less will be lovely being there again.
