T-8 hours
AKA – Dishes are still spinning … Lil Sis will be home in 8 hours. She has left Ghana, and is making her way from Amsterdam as I type. I will be so glad to have her back in Michigan!!! We got through our first adult-children Christmas fairly well, considering it was early in the …
November 17-24, 2017
Wow, what a week! We started with Arts & Greens … A special Thank You(!) to all who stopped, shopped and visited with us!!! We had a great time, despite the torrential pouring of rain that was oozing down the greenhouse wall, creating a river through the middle of our space … [Doh!] Once the …
Welcome 2016 …
A good Christmas, a good New Year’s Eve, and work-weekend one (of 52) down*… I like it!

A minute to relax …

But, unlike many of …

Happy as … Larry(?)
I’d never heard that particular idiom (link for the origin of this phrase can be found here), but – I’m happy, so go ahead – call me Larry … Great week! Good food/family time, a bit of sunshine in the pool, lots of romp time with the pooches, and I’m pleased with my studio work …
Ahhh … Friday
Brings about the end of another week … but a good week. A few things from the studio: New slumped bottle, “Cocktail”; more boiled blanks – I’m still working out the tweaks, but I like them, while slowly building up to a load (for the coffin) of [eventual] bowls and what not; and I tried my …
