November Notes

For days I have wanted to make a post but lacked the motivation to write and share thoughts. Weird feelings about life, our country, and our world seem to occupy my mind. Prayer, Bible readings, and sermons help to quiet my worrisome thoughts. 

So here goes...a few good things about November thus far.

Son Ryan had a birthday on November 2. He's now 45. He sends me text messages that make me smile. 

Corkey's high school class had their yearly reunion on November 4. Members tried not to dwell on the sadness of missing classmates. 

Daughter Lauren is handling a busy schedule. I have helped her a few times with Tallulah and Etta, but she's the one doing a fantastic job with the girls and maintaining her CPA business.

Son Jason and Corkey helped me set up my wall display and table booth for the Quito Market on November 11. 

 

My latest artwork

I saw this art picture on Pinterest and wanted to try one.

It sold first at my booth.

It was a disappointing day since I only sold two pictures.

This person was very happy with her purchase, and that made me happy.

P.S.

After the sale I gave these two away.

Recovery Is Coming

I know my arm will continue to get better if I keep doing my exercises and using it more and more. June's Quito Market today was a pleasant outing for me. I met a vendor who I hope to see again. I asked Tonya if I could share some of her creations on this blog, and she gladly agreed. Choosing was hard because she had several  items I really liked. A ring made from one small spoon was my gift to myself.

I really enjoyed meeting and talking to Tonya.

I'm wearing my new ring on my right middle finger and loving it, Tonya. 

Hopefully swelling on the fingers of my left hand will go down before long, and

I may want another vintage silverware ring. 

Thanks, Tonya, for being so friendly and having a lovely display.
