2 S 2018

Sunday morning wasting away, midway thru the ‘long Holiday weekend’, attended Mass which was great and I will share details in a minutes as I have been fed, changed and letting things settle while a viable plan develops. All good.

CHANGED ? INTO WHAT ?

Back when, it would have been a diaper now they are called ‘depends’. It’s a joke. Something to break the ice and give momentum the opportunity to gather for the big, HUGE closing.

WOW! I CAN’T WAIT …

Well you’re going to have to.

The beginning of Mass was just spectacular. The rising sun exploded thru the large stained glass window behind the alter and folks I am here to tell it was simply brilliant. The colors sparkled and blended together yellows paler to orange and gold. Red shades and the cool blue hues and shades framing the border.

I sat in a different seat today because I had to perform some volunteer work after Mass in the narthex selling tickets for the Hispanic festival. You recall ‘black’ history month? Well, same thing but for the Hispanic cultures. More representation but not as whooped up or hyped. And it should be.

Anyway, two (dos) announcements before Mass were read and the last one was do NOT leave until Mass is over which is defined as the Closing hymm is finished. This cramps my routine normally and next week I will act as though I ‘missed’ this one and revert to ‘normal’ behavior and practice leaving after the final Blessing. I am certain neither the bishop nor the Pope 'fights' traffic after Mass.

But again today, I simply COULD NOT get up and leave early as all appearances would be I was not paying attention, ignoring or disrespecting the Padre’s announcement.

So I waited before assuming my volunteers position.

Yesterday S1 come around and we did a lesson on his painting. We cooked out and relaxed before he took off.

HOW NICE. WHAT’D YOU BOYS HAVE ?

Well, an emergency dash to K-roget for some brats, rolls and we had some of Bill's killer sauerkraut and I whipped up a smaller batch of Bill’s killer potato salad repeating the recipe from Tuesday nights potluck to use the rest of the little red spuds.

Then Br12 wouldn’t eat it because he ‘doesn’t eat’ potato salad.

That’s ok. It was delicioso and now rests in a smaller container to enjoy later this week.

Binged watched Continuum until bed time. It got better and is an interesting story line. Not certain it gets any thumbs or a recommend yet tho.

The rest of today is relax & chill.

Next Saturday is 2nd Saturday which is a ‘Food & Wine’ walk on the square in beautiful, HISTORIC downtown McK. I touched base with Robin at SOHO yesterday AM to secure my spot.

One of my goals this week is to finish for display and IDEALLY SALE on Saturday is one to three (1-3) spotfin butterflyfish this week. I have three (3) about half-way and worked on them last evening.

Must spend short time under a power tool in the garage studio this afternoon so to start scales & final fins before setting the eyes. Once the eyes are in, painting is just around the corner And the sbff is very simple to paint so I am thinking if I just get after it, I can increase my inventory by three pieces with some effort.

That’s it.

Time to close and move on.
