      we drove down from Red Lodge 180 miles. Had 2 minutes of totality and not much in the way of traffic.

      looking forward to your photos. I used a digital camera for a totality shot.

      .....helped in their gift shop, and sold a few things.Viewed the eclipse until the last sliver of the moon cleared the sun. Many hit the road after totality creating bumper to bumper congestion.

      Fish Glaze >>>Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

      To make the browned butter lime sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. ...

      Season salmon with salt and pepper, to taste. ...

      Haven't been able to work in my studio for several days. My big Skutt needed rewiring. My husband decided we needed to put some more concrete board on the walls while it was out of the room. Hopefully I will have my studio back in a couple of days.

    2. Mark C.

      Mark C.

  21. When you play with dark oversaturated clays with colorants you will have issues-its part of the deal. Like playing with fire you will get burned sooner or later.
