So I spent an hour or so sopping things up with towels as I had no wish to disturb vixdad with the sound of the wet dry vac

I checked the basement and it looked like a well

Darn, I first read that as it looked well, not like a well :(

Excellent stumble-through is done, picked up some packages (but not all) and then got Subway.

A very quiet day.  Printed out emails from Patrick Brady about my work as well as a couple of scores.

Saturday afternoon greetings!  The ornaments are on the tree and it only took the entire Michigan/Oregon basketball game and almost 3 quarters of the Army/Navy football game to get it done.  Richard unpacked them and I placed them on the tree.

I wouldn’t toss it too quickly what they turn up their noses to one day may be their favorite next week

Went with my friend Gail to a massive pottery studio on the north side of town. It was a whole compound of Japanese-style buildings beautifully laid out.

The doctor who owns it makes pottery as stress relief. Two weekends each December, he sells his work as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood.

It was a trek from the north side to the south where a friend was having an art show. I picked up two paintings, one a colorful, crazy take on the Alamo, the other a margarita.

I know & I commented.  Then I read the following post "I checked the basement and it looked like a well" without the added "a" and thought all was still well ;)

Then we went and joined a group from her church to serve up a barbecue dinner gor the homeless. I think this is the fifth time over the last six years I have helped them. I love this event. The folks at the center really appreciate it.

We served up more than 500 plates of pulled pork, green beans and potato salad with an orange and a cookie.
