Busy times

May seems to have vanishes without me realizing it or updating you all. Spring somehow disappeared during these past few weeks as well, as we have gone from winter coldness to summer hotness.

Since we have last spoken I have hosted a Bridal Shower, a Memorial Day Cookout, a jewelry party, discovered Chicago's amazing blues scene, become friends with an amazing band and seen the musical Avenue Q for a second time. I think that's it. If this is a sign of my summer schedule I am a little afraid. I am having a great time, but it is exhausting.

I have also set a date for my library art show opening, July 23. It is a Wednesday. I would have preferred a Friday, but the library closes early on Fridays and Saturdays and people are not likely to come to afternoon events. I am excited though. I have finished (or will tonight) three paintings that I have been working on recently and have a few ideas for more. My new painting/easel set up is working out beautifully.

While this is not as eloquent as some recent posts, this will have to do. I will try to get some pictures of my recent paintings posted soon.
