A new year....

Here we are, heading in to 2011...hard to believe. LOTS of changes this year, maybe even more after this afternoon.
1. I no longer am an employee of the House of Representatives. The Lankford office chose others for their district staff and the Gov's office apparently did not have a spot that fit me. I am interviewing with the Insurance Dept. this afternoon, but don't hold out much hope it will be too productive.
HOWEVER...if a 'real' job does not come to fruition, that is perfectly ok...I am so pumped about being at home with Frank and working our business together and moving it forward. There are SO many things we can/should do. Lots of shows, new products, finished goods...you name it, we could do it. So...will know more later.

Have been spending the Christmas break painting the Walter Brockmann limited edition house. Will be glad when we get these done. 15 have been sold which is awesome, but we have to get them shipped. It is a process....

A very nice Thanksgiving was spent in Colorado and Christmas was spent in Denton...it is always fun to be around the kids. Will be glad though when we have a place suitable for them to come here. Getting to old to stay at other peoples homes....Time for the kids to start visiting the old people! LOL!

We now have a dog...who would have thunk? Skitz found us...now we have fallen in love. It is a pain in the neck to deal with a dog which is so much more trouble than cats, but he is so attached to Frank, you just can't not have him. Traveling should be interesting...

Lots more I oould say, but need to get to painting!! Once again, will do my best to get on here more...:)

Better, not quite a year! LOL!

As usual, we are at a show..this time in Mesquite. A Friday/Saturday show. We came down last night, stayed at Jchon and Dawns and we all went into Denton to teach a class at the Senior Center in Denton. Dad went on to Mesquite to set up the booth (2 plus a make and take). It was a good class and fun to work with Dawn...we work well together, I think. Well, Jchon too, but he left at noon to take care of the boys. :)

So...life goes on..work, work, shows, shows, bottling paint, cleaning greenware (have I said how much I HATE cleaning greenware???), and not getting anything done around the house or the yard. I HAVE to start picking up limbs etc., so we can get stuff mowed. And I have to start cleaning the garage so I can start cleaning the house...and so it goes..TIME!!! I need TIME!!

Mary's campaign is going well, who knows what is going to happen in the 5th district...so convoluted to even wager a bet.

Okie dokie...will check in later!
