Bread Making

Posted in daily painter, Serendipity, Small Town Life, tagged Bread Making, Cinnamon Raisin Bread on October 9, 2019| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday morning, before my sister has to leave to go home to Georgia (she came up to take care of Lincoln so I could go on my trip to Cape Cod for the art workshop), she gave me and my friend Ruth a lesson in bread making. She makes a ton of it where she lives as people are always requesting it for family events and fundraising. It’s a marvelous cinnamon-raisin bread. We even tried a variation using apples….and it turned out great too! It was fun to do something a little different from creating art…the only problem is that you can’t just eat one slice. Before you know it a half of a loaf is gone. Oops!

Big Circle Trip – Leg 2 – The Reunion

Posted in daily painter, Serendipity, Small Town Life, Travel, tagged Class of 1979, Patterson High School on October 2, 2019| Leave a Comment »

So we are in Nashville….we see Hannah perform at the Grand Ole Opry (see yesterday’s blog post) and she kills it! We go to the after party at the Nashville Palace…also a great time seeing how excited everyone was for her. By this time it’s 11 pm and we have to be in south Georgia the next day so we load up and drive from Nashville to Clyo, Georgia…my sister’s home. This takes about 9 hours! But we get there by 8:30 am so we have time to take a nap and then get up to go again…leaving about 3:30 to drive another 2 hours to Patterson, Georgia…a little town where I attended high school. It’s my 40th class reunion and I hadn’t been back since the 10 year reunion so I didn’t want to miss it. Our school, Patterson High School, was so small that it has an “All-Class” Reunion so folks attend from every year. It’s great to see old friends and catch up. I wish more could have made it but the ones who did had a marvelous time. Our old school has been remodeled and made into a community center and they did an excellent job with it. It’s the perfect space for events. I’m so glad I went and I won’t wait so long to go back again.

Celebrating Lincoln!

Posted in Dogs, Serendipity, Small Town Life, tagged Lincoln on July 18, 2019| Leave a Comment »

Today we wish Lincoln a Happy Adoption Day. He has brought lots of smiles and joy to us and those who have gotten to know him. And he has adapted to his new “work” at The Studio with enthusiasm. I recently saw what a friend wrote about his mixed breed dog and loved it….so from now on, because Lincoln is such a funny looking little mixed breed and I get asked a lot what is he mixed with…I will say “PERFECTION”!
