My friend Peter Skipp looked at the 3 5-drawer file cabinets in the art room and commented what in the world we needed that many…. Well try owning 4 houses plus land, multi vehicles incl motorcycle, scooter, van, car, 4 wheeler, 2 boats…. all the paper that covers all that and the trips and conventions and organizations and insurances – just multiply it… … Brother do we sound like the Asterbilts. No… just people who accumulate and don’t sell anything. Meanwhile the dust bunny wars have gone into high gear only today it’s the paper wars!!!!! I have pretty baskets full of papers I’ve collected over the years. There are 2 bins full of the cast offs and files for the stuff I really will use one day… things like articles on drawing birds and butterflies, sun and light, inspiration, bridges, stairs and paths etc etc etc. I’d also like to try some practice with Wabi Sabi which is attaching stuff (metal, material, paper) to the paintings! I am now crazed with picking up bits of metal from the ground. My sister Sarah gave me that illness! Need boxes for the bits of metal, and buttons, bits, and old coins! Whoever ends up cleaning this up when I go to heaven… Well know that at least I tried to be artful. Today is breezy almost cool. I have the windows open and there are plenty of birds and boats on the lake. Chuck is on his way home a day early from Georgia and I screamed: "NO! this place is a mess! You won’t see the progress I’ve made!" I think I’ll finish a movie; I’m half way through Life of Pi. interesting…. he just got ship wrecked and he and the tiger are together with a dead zebra in the boat. whew! Life goes on and God blesses us! Thank God. Love Susie
