I am still here and subconsciously posting less I think because of the pressures of NaBloPoMo. (It also may have something with the sheer volume of work that I am doing right now!)
The year is winding down.. in a quiet way. Yesterday was the 4th anniversary of my dad’s passing… I touched base with my siblings and mom without talking about it. No need to. We all feel it.
I started my day off by metering out fiber and watching Sgt Pepper’s Lonley Hearts Club Band. A fitting tribute to my dad who taught me more about the Beatles than I could have ever guessed. They fade into the soundtrack of my life so seamlessley.
I cranked up the Stevie Wonder in my iPod as I was in my studio. Funny thing about iPods… no one else can hear the music but I am sure they heard my beautiful rendition of Songs in the Key of Life . My studio is right next to the bathroom too… wonder if the potty partakers enjoyed their serenade.
I have pictures of thing in my camera and a missing USB. They will have to wait for now. I have images of a series of mixed media collages that I am going to start working on in December rolling around in my head… they will wait as well.
The cowboy, however, will not wait. Off to American Education week for us!
Have a great Tuesday!

“They” say that smell is the sense that triggers the most memories, but for me, it’s always been sound. “Songs in the Key of Life” to me has always meant Saturday mornings, Stevie in the 8-track (ouch, showing my age) and being forced to do chores by my mother.

I’ve been thinking of you. I found this recently and it made me feel a little better.

I can’t wait to see your mixed media business. And of course, I can’t wait to see you in a few days…
