National Cheese Lover's Day

Today's Name Day: Fabian, Sebastian

    Had a fun & busy day!  I worked today at the SVAFC.  And what fun it was!!  Our artist had so many friends here from several towns.  So the studio was filled with artists, people who work with art/artists, one reporter, friends of artists.  Just fun to be part of all the conversations.  Wish I was part of them, but it was fun today.  The artist is MH, who is one of my all time fave people.  He is nice to me, kind, & makes me laugh.  His art is in the studio now.  I love it.  It is very very political & he & I agree on politics & the world.

     One of the ladies there early was waiting for friends.  We had a long talk.  We talked about people who we just cannot understand.  And she has come up with a new idea.  And it clicked with me.  I have always felt that I am being punished for something I have done, but clueless as to what  Started as a child..  We had noticed people are abused as kids grow up to abuse their kids.  Why?  Well, that is what they know & they get some comfort from it.  I did lots of thinking & writing when things were quiet.  Maybe I was abused or whatever so that is how I treat myself or believe things about myself.  I am going to work on this.  Maybe I will actually think better of myself.  Maybe I never did anything wrong.  It could be others who are suffering & I just assume I am bad.  I am feeling better & hopeful..  Good to have an epiphany. 

    Tonight MH gave a talk on his art.  He did it last saturday too.  But because of the weather they repeated it.  He told me & JR to leave early to go eat & he would stay.  And there were others arriving soon to get things ready for his talk.

    JR & I went to the Crown & Rye.  I had the salmon & chips.  The salmon had a mustard sauce on it.  It was to die for!!!

    The talk was so fun.  And where I live it is great to be around people who think & feel as I do.  Sometimes one must be very careful what you  say or get told off  Not a fun moment.  Have that happen a couple of times.  If one is not part of someone's conversation, stay our of it.  We, as they are, entitled to our own opinion. 

    Too cold today & night.  Warmer tomorrow.  I will let Cinder out tomorrow afternoon.  But now there is ice forecast tomorrow night & my farm it on the edge.  Great.  Stay chilly & keep the snow on the ground.  But this below zero stuff has got to go.

    I ordered some extra tops/sweaters for more layering.  It is cold both places where I work.  Thank god for furry boots!!

    Grandson MM is back home but in Wichita seeing his sons.  They are tons more important than I am so I am ok with that.  He sent photos.  Maybe his next weekend home I could do some R&R in ICT.  A break would be nice.

    Photos are from today.  The man with the gray hair is the artist friend.  I was so frozen I had hot tea for supper.  Very good.  The salmon was excellent.  Must go there more often to get it.
