Yesterday, I did not get near my studio. Pilates, walking the dog, getting my hair cut, attending Miles’ third grade musical, late dinner after we got home — whew. This morning, I taught myself how to use iMovie so that I could upload some videos from the performance.

If someone had told me two years ago that I would watch Miles do two major speaking parts and sing about 15 songs with all of the other children, I would have said no way.  But there he was — making us all beam from ear to ear. His development over the past year has been remarkable. There are times when the autism is evident, but he is much more engaged with us, now.

I was going to upload the video of his portrayal of FDR, but the file is too large.

After a quick walk with Scooter, I met a couple of friends from Trinity to talk about the future of the Arts Committee. The chair for the past several years is stepping down, and we have not found anyone to take on the task — we are a group of artists who are willing to help, but not be the organizer!! I had an idea of someone who might take it on. We met with her, and I think it is going to work out.

Tonight, I finally got down to the studio and happily got four rows of organza pockets sewn to the background. So happy about that!!

Mr C brought in the mail today. I flipped through it and was astounded to see a my High Desert Aspen quilt on the back of a postcard.

It is for the SAQA Oregon show — State of Diversity — which is at the Heritage Station Museum in Pendleton, OR. A lovely surprise.

OK, I have rambled on long enough.
