Our Artists in Residence Show here at the Victory
Arts Center went well. All of us sold work, and it
was a great way for me to meet my new neighbors and
fellow artists, as well as new patrons!
There are some nice
shots in the snapshot section of the opening, the band,
assorted partygoers and fellow artists. Now on to an open
house here in my studio space on the 19th.
It's that time of
year again when friend Reba escapes the blow of winter in
Buffalo and drops in to spend time with us. It's nice to
be hunkering down for the holidays and out of the hassle
of airports and traveling. I miss the ease of travel
before the skies got dangerous and overcrowded. It used
to make me laugh hearing my grandmother talk about the
'good old days when…'. So here I am recounting them in my
own time. Guess that makes me old. Hope it makes me wiser
. I know I miss getting lots of Christmas cards, people
not worried about saying Merry Christmas, and what ever
happened to caroling? I still make Christmas cookies,
send cards, and since it's Christmas time, I say…Merry
Christmas. People in our neighborhood have lights on
their houses, and lawn decorations, like when I was
young. I didn't expect it somehow, but I like it very
much and appreciate that they care to be of good cheer.
Merry Christmas.
Peace… and be of good cheer. Catherine
