What's New.

THE FARM


19 days ago I began putting eggs into the incubator that I borrowed from a kindergarten teacher friend of mine.  I was soooo careful to set it up right and follow all the directions.  I marked on the calendar when I was supposed to take the first egg out of the turner and place it gently on the screening on the bottom the incubator.  This morning, I stretched and rolled and thought, today I move the first egg!  And in a terrible blast of cognition, I realized I had NEVER put the water in the reservoir at the very bottom!  I have probably cooked all my chicks. (no exclamtion point.  It's too sad for an exclamation point.)

Well,  I'll move the egg anyway, AFTER I put water in the reservoir.  And I'll begin putting new eggs in the incubator today.  Maybe in another 21 days I'll have chicks.  Who knows, maybe I'll have a new chick in 3 days.  It's been very humid here.  Only God knows.  We'll see.





THE BIZ


I visited festivalnet.com on Saturday and found a craft show listed in Surf City on Long Beach Island.  It's being put on by the JCC of LBI on Sunday, August 21.  Just for ha has I emailed them asking there were any open spaces, and, Shazam!  There were two spaces left!  At $55 I felt it was worth the gamble and I bought one.  Now I have 3 weeks to prepare.  Eek!

THE ART


L'Chaim, To life!

Acutally, I had been thinking about painting so Jewish themed canes for quite a while now.  So, Saturday afternoon I drew up 3 new designs and I've been diligently working away at them.  I personally love them.  But, I personally love all of my canes.



LIFE IS JUST SO FULL OF COOL STUFF!
