Sounds like an early endorsement!

Corrected its Alberta.....   but I have about 2 pounds of Avery....  it's so rare I'm afraid to experiment with it.....

Sounds like a great time getting together with friends and making mugs.   Denice

nice thing to do, Mark. Good of you to help her.

I have used and liked her work for the past 35+ years. We had the same teacher.She can no longer lift a box of clay.

but a pug she can handle.She gave up shows long ago but still supplies a few outlets.

we're all getting older.

You have a good heart!

Marcia

ouch! Pulled the muscles down my right side a couple weeks ago, still need help loading the kiln and lifting boxes of clay. Hope you heal fast, hard to slow down isn't it?!!

Could not put socks on for a few days and no I do not heal fast at 65 anymore. I took this week off from glaze firing and am only moving lighter loads.I may take two days to glaze and load two kilns this week instead of 1

I am going to try to get to your Anacortes show.

See you there -my booth is in front of the rockfish cafe 

319C, 320C
Between 3rd & 4th streets in the Center

Congrats on 45 years- hit the 45 year mark myself. 

Is this your last blast of winter?  We have been in the 80's already but it is suppose to be in the 60's and rainy all week.  Last year it dropped down to 10 degrees one night at the end of March  and cut down on the population of wasps that chase us around every summer.  Denice

We usually hit about 6 of them on a Saturday or Sunday, we have a few in the neighborhood and then some church based ones that always have awesome weird old stuff that old ladies leave to the church in their will.

This coronavirus thing has us jonesing for a thrift store fix, none of them are open

I know what you mean,   we drove by a estate sale Friday in our favorite historic neighborhood.   We thought if there wasn't very many cars out front we might take a look.   There must have been fifty cars parked up and down the street so we drove on by.  It is really the houses we want to see and this one was a plain old farmhouse not a grand old mansion.    Going shopping at Trader Joe's tomorrow,  plan to get there for senior shopping hour,  we went a few weeks ago and  running late.   We were over run by young people not wearing any masks  or distancing.   You would hardly know that there was a pandemic  here,  the only people wearing masks  are elderly,  clerks and some waitresses,  I am expecting another spike.     Denice

Here in Central PA, hardly anyone under the age of 60 is wearing a mask, numbers are rising all over the state, and the number of cars going through the area from other places is really up. I often see plates from Texas, North Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, and others. Never noticed so many before.

best,

Pres

Have fun!  (I used to teach scuba diving ... if you can believe that ... lol another life time .... omg it took me 7 years to get thru undergraduate I did so much diving)

and you will come back with a lot less so overload won't be a problem!

His booth was poppin when we stopped by and it wasnt even 11 yet!  Nice meeting you mark and good luck with the rest of the weekend!

Me toooo.  We have quite the blizzard going on.  Glad to be home, not on the road, enjoying a warm fire and leftovers.

We are still in the 70's here,  it is suppose to start cooling down this week.   January and February are miserable,  do you really have snow falling or did you buy a snow machine.    Denice

no it snowed  a bit then in am turned to hail then rain.. The snow was enough to snap enough trees to close our major 2 lane road to the east for 3 days.That was about 15 minutes from here at high altitudes

Nice to see you take breaks once in a while. 

Post some photos when you get back.   Denice
