Still feeling artsy...

i like my Kindle, but I am afraid I have not taken the time to learn how to use it properly. The advertisements say you can pick out parts and make notes to refer back to later, but I haven't learned how to do that yet. I need to quit reading and learn some more about it, but I am a procrastinator. The reading is too enjoyable.

Good news for the Gators. We beat LSU today 14-6. I watched the game on tv as I did a little tole painting on a wooden wall hanger I picked up at that church garage sale this morning...for a quarter! It's cute, looks like pine, stained maple maybe, with three pegs on a series of three joined hearts. I fancied it up some with daisies and dragonflies, and it now graces the wall near my bathroom door, perfect for hanging jammies.

Today I looked up to see what was coming to the Hipp (one of our local theaters), and they are putting on Stephen King's Carrie next. Starts Wednesday. Wouldn't want to sit in the front row for that one...lol! Has anyone seen Carrie as a stage play? I may have to go for curiosity's sake.

Gainesville's highly acclaimed (for real) Downtown Festival and Art Show is next weekend. I usually try to go, but sometimes I can't find a parking space. No kidding, it is wall-to-wall people. Maybe I'll get lucky this year. I certainly do not mind walking a ways.

My daughter in Delaware called a little while ago and says a cold front is moving in up there. Their high tomorrow is supposed to be 59 degrees..brrrrr. I'll take just a little of that . I'm still running the a/c, high in the 80's here today. Think I'll just hang around the house tomorrow; I'm in a "crafty" mood. Must be all these art shows...

till next time....c
