Please go and check my bestest friend DesertRose’s blog today…she’s so witty!
Jim and I met a friend from Xanga yesterday; Archaelologist. We had a great lunch and a fun time chatting. It always amazes me the way that you can feel like you “know” someone online and then in person, they’re totally different. I loved how outgoing and ready-to-laugh Kate is!! We share a passion for history, The Strawberry Festival (music), reading, our grandchildren, and Scottish Games, and much more. (don’t worry, Kate, I won’t tell anyone you cuss like me!
)
I taught 2 gourd classes in Folsom on Friday which was great. I love the energy that I get and give from teaching classes. Met some new friends and saw some who I had already known. Most gourders are really warm people and I feel very at-home with them.
Going to the festival today reaffirmed my decision that I made about making production work: I don’t want to do production work. I enjoy seeing what people make but I don’t want to be a factory.
Cheers!

Fun stuff ~ glad to hear you so upbeat!
I enjoy meeting online friends too – especially when we’ve been in contact for so long.
I also love that energy – of creating and watching people create – I am glad it’s working out for you
My favorite festival is coming up this weekend.
Me too! I just knew I was going to like you, and I did! And Jim too — I’m soooo glad he’s doing better! Hope you had a good trip home — 99 can be a real thrill-a-minute at times! Here’s a link to that book we were talking about: http://www.rock-art.com/books/whitley4.htm. This one is good too: http://www.rock-art.com/books/younkn1.htm. I didn’t remember that they were so expensive! Maybe the library has a copy?
Hey! You didn’t tell me you had this site. Maybe you did, but the fog in my head is awfully thick. I like the look and feel of this. Thanks for the promo.

I set up a Xanga page with some submission information while I’m working on re-coding our website, so if you are interested — or know someone who might be — stop by and check us out. I’d love to hear from you with questions, ideas, and especially submissions. My email is wingspanquarterly@gmail.com.

Cool that you met a Xangan, and a prolific one, at that! Desert Rose’s post cracked me up-I added one of my own. Such fun, to be smarmy.
“Most gourders” = “go’s to murders” just thought I would point that out to you, that’s all.
Hi there! Thanks for the visit! When I have more time I will tell you my tattoo story! Got my first one at 35 and the second one at 40! I love them!
