What a day!!

I have been busy all day. I started the day working at an art auction. It is put on by a museum I used to work for. I take the money for new or renewed memberships. Fun to see people especially old friends from work. I miss working but I never really fit in much. Oh well.  We have a live auction and a silent auction. I bid in the silent auction and once in a while in the live auction. I bid on two things and won both. I got a ceramic piece called Pharoah and a painting called Company. The painting speaks to my soul in many ways. Things I have experienced and something I need more often than not. And rarely have. Saw one painting sell for $25,000 and another for $17,000. Wow.

Then my brother and I ate at Jalisco's. And headed for 2 soccer matches. We played one of the top rated teams. And it showed. Lost both.

Two girlfriends came to the last match and sat behind me. Fun to chat with them. They even said they may include me when they go out in an evening. I would enjoy that. I have no friends to go out with and have a cocktail or two and visit.

A good friend came to the match too. His father is here from Florida. Got a big smile from one, a nice hug from the other. Made my night. Sometimes need both and the hugs are pretty rare in my life.

Nico missed me today. What a greeting I got. Nice to be loved instead of being greeted with a sour face and being ignored.

Tired now. First 3 photos are the art I bought.
