Our flowers are finally blooming...well some of them are
Thanks to those who "adopted" dolls from the mini shop update! I still have a few left and they will be the last of the bird masks (for long while anyhow).
After I posted them on Friday I ran on downtown to get tickets to see Senator Obama on Saturday and when I got there the line had already wrapped around several blocks. I waited three hours in line only to find out that the were gone. I thought U2 tickets were hard to get! Some people had arrived at five that morning just to make sure they got tickets.
So Saturday I watched his speech on t.v. and afterwards ran up to the school where the "town meeting' was being held. I listened to the question and answer part of the meeting ,outside the gym along with all of the others who didn't get tickets. Some of us were able to see him (barely) when he left. Maybe he'll be back and I hope that Senator Clinton will comes to speak in Bend. Her husband has been here twice in the past month but personally I'd rather hear the candidates themselves.
Sunday was a low key day, as I had wanted it. My favorite gift was the plate that Dad and Andres made for me. It was suppose to be a secret but when they came home earlier in the week with paint all over them I was able to guess what they were up to. Andres had recently got his haircut and when they pointed out the barber shop I noticed the new pottery place next door and that's how I put two and two together. Cant' fool us Moms! They went with an ocean theme after having seen me work on my mermaids:)
I also got the studio back in order after the collapse of the shelf, or landslide, as I remember it ..lets hope that's the last of any near misses!
Also I have a request to send good thoughts my Mom's way. She reads this so I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning this. Without divulging too many details she got Salmonella poisoning after eating at a restaurant a year and a half ago and spent time in the ICU a few times. At that time I didn't know how serious it was but she has since told us she nearly died. She has had some serious complications from it (constant dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, no energy etc) and despite taking medications they keep re-occurring. My mom had to go into the hospital again yesterday and I ask that you say a little prayer or kind thought if so inclined. She is also dealing with the loss of her mom a few months ago and that hasn't helped the situation. Thanks..I know she'd appreciate it and I know some of you have had similar health issues in your families lately and can relate.
This is for you Grandma Susan!
Andres singing his "version" of one of his favorite songs "Moon River" :)
"..off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me"
And my second favorite version of it...
