Lillian Booth ate my artwork "Poker Chips On Vacation (Can't Get Home)." So it can't be on the flier but I'm gonna try to fix it before the show... There you go, she made the call.

There's always some disaster before the show, *sigh.*

If the glass is full...

Since I now have a drinking buddy, Uncle Mark and I have instituted "Cocktail Hour." We are trying a different cocktail every night we have dinner. One cocktail, not getting hammered.
This is going along with cleaning the basement up, as something must be done with all that booze downstairs.

I know, I talk a lot about squash

I have just chopped my Banana Squash. I froze it.
I bought it back in October, and it sat in the corner of the kitchen until earlier this week when it showed signs of "going." My banana squash was only about 2' long and 6lbs, they get to be over 6' long and much heavier than I can carry, but this was the smallest one I could find. The skin was sort of pinky-orangey and it smells like a cantaloupe but is like a soft pumpkin. I will make souffle, soup, and indian food.

I saved some seeds if you would like some to start next year.
