A Hike and Raindrop for My Body and Spirit

The day after the Commonwheel Art Festival jury, I worked on getting all the information sorted out and getting the checks copied and deposited in the bank.

Jury Day and a Sink Falls off the Bathroom Wall in the Cottage

I was awakened at 7:10 am on the morning of the Festival Jury with a phone call from my cottage tenant. She told me the sink had fallen off the wall in the bathroom. My first question was “Is there water spewing?” “No,” she said. That was good news. And next I said in jest, […]
