Pottery Chatroom Board

Good afternoon and hello to everyone. Thank you Cathy and Katie for dropping me a line. It's hard to pop back in after a prolonged absence - especially when it's of your own creation. In short, life got too busy, and I was burning the candle at both ends. Everyone is doing well - and I finally seem to have some help at the office. The girl (she's 21) that they've tapped to be my assistant has adapted well to the paperwork aspect of the job, but still needs polish on the phone ... and then, there is the absentee-ism thing. *Sigh* At least they're not sending me people from the float pool, anymore. I still love to go out fossicking (a nod to Gordon) in the thrifts, just to see what catches my eye. Seems that there are more and more people doing the same, these days; and I consider those times when I find something worth toting home to be that much more special, as I am seldom there when the new stuff comes out.

The catties and pup are all hale and healthy. Junior Pup and Chester have spent the majority of the day vying for my lap, whenever I hazard to sit down, between chores. (As I type, I'm waiting for the floors to dry in the hall, foyer, dining room, bath and kitchen.) In a few, I need to head on out to th the grocery store to buy the makings for two, big batches of corn bread. Sam (DH) and I are going to an oyster roast later tonight .... chili and Frogmore Stew are also on the menu. The corn bread is our contribution to the fete. I'll probably spring for a case of good beer, as life is too short to drink the cheap stuff. 🙂

Now, before I type a novella, - I'm going to post this, and then do a bit of scrolling, as I've got months of gabfest on which to catch up!
