No idea what to do with them just yet, but they're pretty cool. Just glad that most Memphians don't REALLY pack heat, so as long as I don't garbage-pick in Orange Mound I'm probably okay. Planning to do my first show back in the loop this fall, the Cleveland Apple Festival in Cleveland, TN on 19/20 Oct. Toward this end, I have been painting diligently, mostly gourds. A few new faces, some old favorites. Interspersed with yard work and amateur bodybuilding, my other two passions. AND I'm finally grasping a fundamental truth; if I rake for three hours, or do too many sets of inclined chest presses at the gym, I cannot raise my arms high enough to keep a paint brush aloft. When I was twenty, I could just go do a little more of the same, loosen up and remedy the problem. NOW it just aches more. Getting old is NOT for sissies. Another one of those little tidbits of information Mom neglected to mention, sorta like menopause and age spots. Thanks, mom. Seriously. Just glad I shed the tequila habit years ago (okay, EXCEPT for the Sunday morning Bloody Marys......).BUT- gotta do SOMETHING to wind down after that five-mile early morning rollerblading trip..... yeah, I may be getting older, but I REFUSE to grow/give up....... ;-) |
