Well only a couple of days and my Mom will be 77. Where oh where have all the years gone? We are going
out for Chinese food...her favorite. It has been so
incredible to have my Aunt here....they are having alot
of fun and doing things together on the land...nice gardening things. (not my cup of tea)
We went to church this morning and it was nice. I get
to go home in a few hours...around 4:00. Then I have
a bunch of stuff to put away at home...reorg the art
committments for time/deadlines. Boot up the computer there and print some of the photography I've got to complete yet another swap. I haven't noticed that there are too many new swaps opening up at Nness just
yet, maybe that is a good thing I'm much too busy to be tempted to join yet another swap. Want to wrap up the April Showers Swap and file away info. I did get info on the Zines...I'm hoping that the cost isn't out of my reach...have my heart set on getting this off the ground. I'm thinking I will probably be doing alot of them by hand...have to save up for another color cartridge for photographs. My scanner should double as a photocopier...now where to get some interesting paper...besides white computer paper. Hum.

What a fun day...went thrift store shopping with my Mom and Aunt. We found neat stuff and it is a great
way to learn all the similarities (sp) and differences
in our tastes. The best for me was the book deals today three places had half off on all their books.
There wasn't much in the reference art section, but I found other things to peak my interest. I could kick
myself..I left my camera over at my home and then went to my home away from home just to have the most gorgeous double rainbow event....man...Well I did get to enjoy it in all its grandeur. I want to learn how to use my digital camera as a mini video maker. I love what aimhleas does on her blog site....and I can't even manage to post a photograph...now I know I'm not stupid and incapable but this has been very hard for me to figure out ...which I still haven't. I sometimes wish for DSL because dial up sucks, but I won't continue to complain...I at least have a computer and internet....that's one hell of a step up from bread and water.
I can tell that my mother is really happy to have her sister here...I know that she is tired and not saying anything, she's such a trooper. We giggled at the Hot
Sauce that Ushi likes on everything...I thought it was
rather tasty, but yes it was hot. So much fun...it's got to be up there on my moments to remember list.

Still don't have the hang of this yet, so I'll give it another shot before abandonment. Thank goodness it's mine and I can mispell without having to apologize..hehe.
Got an awesome link from ilovelillies at Nness on zines. I am so smitten with them, but I would want nothing but the best and I am not fully prepared for the cost. I guess that is why they all have a nominal fee to get...helps with production. So many people at
Nness have offered money to help...it's pretty overwheleming to think that in this day and age that kind of generousity still exists.

I have so much running through my processing mind,
some of it I don't like. It's stuff I've been running from for two years and I'm so tired. I don't think that I will ever be the me I knew before. Looking at the pictures just doesn't help bring me back. But, I don't want all this pain in my blogg...I want art it completes me.

I could do a zine about family stories...omg it would rip. I need help from some of my "writer" friends
who have a command of the language that makes me want more...that's what I want in my zine....to make the reader want more.

Well, I can't order on the internet and I'm sure that my friend Don in Portland is just too busy to go shopping. I'll have to ask around at the clubs and the members that live in the area what they think. I don't have the money to drive to Portland right now. I'm tired of being held hostage by the price at the gas pump. I'm tired of alot of things right now so I would have to say the mood of this blogg is grey.

Oh that brings back a wonderful memory of a date I once
went on. My friend at the time wanted to know what I wanted to do and I said take me somewhere "green"...it was January in California so not too difficult. He took me to the most amazing overlook on Mt. Tamalpais
which took my breath away. Green takes me there, green keeps me there.

I think this blogg will be a continuation and I won't sign off like I would in a letter. Just because I can........
