Well, it's been like, forever, since I've posted here! Chris and me both have been busy with our art. We did the Breckenridge Mountain Art Festival last weekend, and had a great time. Sales weren't stupendous, but we did a few grand and talked to many other artists that did half that, so it's tough to complain. If we do another one up there, we need to find a way for the kids to be less, well, bored, because it was a very LONG 3 day weekend for them, although they were great. For Erik it was 4 days, as he came up with me Thursday to help me set up, and he worked like a man, not like a boy. Without him I would have been in real trouble. We had a blast together too, had dinner and drinks (VIRGIN Pina Colada for my little buddy!) down at the Dillon Marina, watched boats sailing on a gorgeous evening while eating some of the finest fish tacos I've ever had, and I've had them from Ensenada to Playa del carmen, and these were unreal. maybe it was the setting. Maybe it was my company. But we did have a blast! Chris and Holly came up Friday to join the fun, and we had dinner Friday night with our neighbors 2 houses up and laughed and had great pizza. But the long days at the show (10-6) were a bit much for them. Come to think of it, they were a bit much for me too! Anyway, met LOTS of great people, got several comissions, 1 from the Dept. Chair of the Baylor School of Medicine. It will be a beauty, just waiting for the wood. Anyway, thanks for the friends we met and the friends who came up to visit, and thanks especially to Martin and Patti for your AWESOME condo, it was so comfy and incredibly nice!
