Yes, I GRADUATED! Yippee!! As my mother asked, Will this give you a raise and more $$$? Sadly, no. A better job? Not anytime soon. Oh, well, it will be used at this job for this pay. Education and elucidation, good stuff. I did get to Manhattan with my college roommate and we saw "Fiddler" which was beautiful; had gin & tonics at Rockefeller Plaza and saw the Habitat for Humanity house in progress; shopped a bit on 5th Ave; and dined at the Algonquin. What a wonderful, magical day! (Oh, and a Richie Havens concert 2nd row last Friday nite. Still a hunk of manly passion.)
Returned home and the next whirlwind of work and travel. Friday I was in Charleston, WV where I am a part of a grant funding organization. I love giving away $$ to deserving projects. After the meeting I was able to smuggle myself into the WV Capitol Complex to see the
WV Juried Exhibition 2005 art show and most specifically, my print. OMG!! It was really there, hanging on the wall in the art gallery! Wow, what a feeling that was to see my print there with the most incredibly beautiful pieces of WV art.
Tomorrow I'm off to the state library conference in historic Shepherdstown, WV. I love this part of WV, it's near Maryland, the Civil War Battlefield of Antietam, Harpers Ferry, and the C&O Canel. Weather looks favorable, so the traveling should be fine.
Photos, I promise, when I return.
SJ is out tonite on her first Homecoming Dance. She looked radiant--hair up, long formal gown. Her date was her best from kindergarten. My how they've grown! Maybe some photos of them for the relatives who read this blog.
I'll be back in a couple of days.
