    MY EMAIL WAS BROKEN!!!!

    If you tried to email me or if you put in an event inquiry form or a conciliation inquiry form in the last week, PLEASE resend it. I JUST found out that my EMAIL WAS DOWN!!! And there is no way to recover the lost messages. Ugh. Ugh. Double ugh. Oh–and if you gave me your email address in Missouri two weeks ago and did NOT receive an email from me, please let me know!

    Wow. Gorgeous!

    I check Taylor Lynde’s ebay listings every day because it is just SO edifying AND I love seeing what my best friend’s (Samara’s) husband is painting. Today, I was overwhelmed with how beautiful a painting was: October Pastoral with Willows Seriously. Check out the STEALS that are available through TJ’s ebay listings. If you visited one of the galleries that carries his work you’d see price tags into the thousands … and some of these ORIGINAL paintings go for $100 or LESS! OK. Just to tempt you to look … here is the painting that I loved today: And here is William (Scout’s brother) out painting it with his dad…
