Road Show

Well fans and fannies, I am off on the road again today. The little Chevy truck is packed to the gills and I am ready to hit the pavement. As many of you may or may not know, the shows come fast and frequent from now until the end of the year. This is making gravy time as after December...no shows until April! Cecil has been in the studio with me making jewelry too! I sell everything he makes faster than flipping flapjacks, so I appreciate his help, mucho! He made an amazing two strand bracelet with petrified wood stones and copper...I am sorely tempted to keep it for myself, but ahhh, someone out there will LOVE it too...

Cactus Mary (www.cactusmary.com) is going with us (me and my pard, Jan) for the first time. Mary makes hand crafted soaps and potions, incense, essential oils, loofas, etc. and also handmade paper greeting cards (designed by her mate David, buddhahead arts, inc.) She is an Aspenfest (Ruidoso, NM) virgin and we have taken her under our wing and will treat her gently. Besides, I am ADDICTED to her soap!!! and need to keep her by my side.

The leaves will be turning (hopefully the blessed rains haven't ruined the show) and the golden aspens and red leaved oaks will be a crazy quilt among the deep greens of the ponderosas and firs. I can almost smell the mountain air now tinged with the mesquite and pinon smoke from fireplaces. It is cool during the day and nippy at night, a welcome relief from the desert (although we have had some rain too lately.)

We will be staying with Robyn (posse member) and John who make us as comfortable and as cozy as bugs. Bless them!!! I am looking towards this trip, seeing my beloved Sierra Blanca and old and new friends.

Will tune in when I can... Ya'll take care and play nice. Visualize Peace...!
