Still painting...

Gleaming new maple floors installed

The pre-finished maple floors were installed Saturday.  The remaining items are few.  The sight of the new floor has sure received the WOW response from everyone taking a look this weekend---what a difference a floor makes!

Last night we went out to The Depot to hear Galactic, New Orleans jazz-funk band with special guests vocalist Cyril Neville (of the Neville Brothers) and Corey Henry (Rebirth Brass Band) with Orgone.  The place was jumpin' and our own local musician, David Halliday sat in with Galactic (having performed with them while living in New Orleans a few years back), and wowed our socks off with his saxy prowess.  :o)

Art: Friday Gallery Stroll March 18

Josie Fife, watercolor

Charley Hafen Jewelers - Gallery  features the watercolor paintings of Josie Fife.

Josie adds her personal treatment to forms and often includes imagined figures---a view of people who may be rendered ironically, neutrally or sympathetically.  Josie has also worked as an artist in the film industry for more than two decades.

A reception for the artist will be held during Gallery Stroll evening from 6:00 till 9:00 p.m.

When you wish upon a . . .

Hmmm...I didn't have a photo of a star, but I have this picture of my soon-to-be-hanging-over-the-breakfast-table crystal chandelier as this afternoon's light danced upon it.  But back to the thought...When you wish upon a star (chandelier or whatever), be sure and have a clear list of what it is you are dreaming of, because your wishes just may come true!
