Greetings all

It is cool and overcast. My day started early as house cleaner wanted to come at 9 and I also had a studio zoom board meeting at 9. There was important business regarding the reallocation of the glass studio space. It hardly ever gets used and more space is needed for ceramics. The board is good with this - even the one glass worker - so it will proceed. One of the glass studio users is throwing a huge tantrum and sending all kinds of letters and texts with all kinds of emotional but non business like arguments. So we will have a follow up with the displaced persons but it is a done deal. We are just decreasing the space they can use; not eliminating it. So the tempest is not over but the teapot has been put away.

Yeah DD sitting in summer shade is the best. Glad you have lots of it. And a cozy place to sit while the kids run around. Hide and seek is still a thing? Sounds very fun to sit and watch. Hmmm musical based on a true murder? Well why not. I vividly remember the Charles Starkweather murders from about 1957. There have been books and movies about those. 13 killed I think. But I am not sure it could be set to music.

Paula I am impressed that your church has a garden. Great idea. More churches need this. Good on you for all your volunteers stuff.

Peps don't forget that all the stuff on your list would not be there if you still had a job. Lots is stuff that just does not happen. We need to add self care stuff to our lists such as playing video games, watching murder mysteries and eating popcorn. Hope your Dad's transition goes well.

So as soon as I get dressed I will go walk at the gym and then go to the studio. Always more to do there.

Liz glad you completed the memorial task with deceased DH. Sounds perfect. Enjoy the beach but no sharks please. We have great whites out here too.

No clue on dinner tonight. All the dental drama yesterday was remarkably uneventful. I had a boat load of fillings but this dentist is skilled and quick. Also I took drugs. The dog dentistry was only about $200 less than mine. Oh well. Tesla is subdued but she did eat her dinner of rice and ground chicken. The medication is another matter......

Dog dentistry - very expensive Justice is due for a cleaning now but I will probably wait until this fall when we are back south where his vet is now.
