A Little Bit of Ramble

Good Sunday morning.  It's been a beautiful weekend here in northeast Oklahoma.  Friday I had lunch with my siblings and then scooted off to the cabin by myself.  The Hubby and Biff went on their annual Kanokla 100 Mile Sale.  They've probably done this trek for at least 14-15 years, she even did it by herself, pregnant one time.  

The cabin grounds compound was very quiet after the Labor Day fun and it was quite welcome, but a bit lonely actually.  

I went by myself because Saturday morning I was gathering some cabin painters to have a paint day.  Sadly only one showed up but I was okay with that.  Actually she didn't show up until an hour later and I decided to go ahead and set up outside on the wigwam porch and enjoy the wonderful weather.

We're going to do it again in a couple of weeks and I'm sure more will join this time and the weather should be even better!  

I've painted this barn before but you can never paint a red barn enough and the last one sold almost immediately.  This isn't finished but will finish this week and get it varnished and take back in a couple of weeks and hopefully sell it too.

The week has been a bit slow except for a physical, time at the office and only one day at the studio.  This week should be more time at the studio, I hope, at least that is the plan and you all know my plans can be quickly changed in the blink of an eye.  

There's been a lot of stuff that has happened this week, worldwide. Today is 9/11 so that is a remembrance day for sure. The big thing this week is the passing of Queen Elizabeth and the crowning of a new King, King Charles III.  Wow, she was Queen for 70 years, amazing and amazing lady. 

Remember, Don't Forget

Remember and don't forget 9/11.  Where were you on that fateful day.  I was driving to the office and just before I got there I turned my CD off and turned on the news for some strange reason.  I was stunned by the news that something was happening in NYC.  I pulled into the shop parking lot and rushed in to the back office to turn on the television.  There it was playing out on the set, complete devastation on the twin towers. I was watching with my mouth hanging open,my hand clamped over it,  not knowing what to say.  Soon The Hubby joined me as did several of our employees as we stood around the television watching.  What do you say.  It was the most awful thing I have ever witnessed, even though I was not there I/we witnessed it because of modern day televising.  First one tower fell then the second, right before our eyes.  All I can say is Remember, Don't Forget, I never will.

Never Forget
