Do-si-do

Today I was a docent to a class of 8th graders at the Hunter Museum of American Art.  I always think of it as a do-si-do around the museum for some reason. The students were from a small town in Alabama and had travelled for two hours. They were a good group, and I enjoyed it very much.

On the homefront, my client picked up the piece that she commissioned. That was a thrill for me! Perhaps later I can see it in her house...more specifically over the mantle in her bedroom which has 13' ceilings. She said she was glad to get it before they held the company Christmas party at their house because she will open up the house for people to look around.  Wow!  That was nice to hear.

Had to wait while the technician tried to discern what was wrong with the tailgate on my car. Of course, everything worked fine so he said there was nothing he could do. The manager intervened. After a little meeting of the minds (they met mine), the manager decided a call Toyota Headquarters was in order. Result:  no definitive answer, but new parts were ordered.  This is what is did during the wait. Yikes, I just realized how bad the nose it!  Perhaps, I will work on it a bit more...

It is obviously unfinished and may never be finished, but it provided some very needed practice.
