Art, travel and things

Good Morning,

Been a while since I have been here - but its been a busy week. This week I acted more like a normal person that I have in months. I worked, cleaned house, made travel arrangements, began work on the patio cover and enjoyed the warm weather.

The art you see in the pictures is the art JC and Mary helped me hang when they were here a few weeks ago. This installation is quite large and Ilove it.

They just returned from a mission trip to Panama and are trying to sell the house in Nebraska to move here to Abq. to retire. It will be fun having them close. Anyone want to buy a house in Nebraska - I think I can get you a good price.

These are from my sister and are amazingly detailed hand made clay from Mexico - the color in person is so intense - they are very beautiful.

I have now been without the machine for over a week - I have decided not to name it now - just say goodbye and forget about it. But thank you all who suggested names.

My sister arrives on Sunday and we are making an art buying trip to Scottsdale - and Sedona - AND here in town - we are good shoppers - thank God - we only have 4 days.

I am feeling great - on Tuesday I had a board meeting - and of course board meetings are always a trial - but that made it a full day and I was very tired - but it felt good to be back in the work mode. This will not - i repeat NOT disuade me from trying to retire by 2009.

Blessings to you all - Chuck (ps - spell check is still not working - so Michael - no emails telling me how to spell - i just cant - never have)
