My blog is again on hiatus this week. I know, I know, I’m letting you down. But, I’ve been sort of crazy busy with other creative stuff and that’s more important right now. I do promise that I’ll be back next week with more of the same excitement you’ve grown to crave.
Anyway, because I don’t want to completely fail you, I’m running a contest this week and anyone can enter. It’s easy peasy. Here’s what you need to know:
Not too long ago my husband and I took a cruise. While we were on board we attended our very first art auction at sea. I know right?!? Cool.
We saw a piece of art on the ship that we both really liked and we asked about it at the on-board gallery. We learned that that particular piece would be auctioned off during one of the sea days and so we signed up, got our bidder number, our free glass of champagne and sat down to see what everything was all about.
At the end of the sale, we ended up buying a couple pieces from the same artist and they are now hanging on the wall in our house.
So, here’s how you enter the contest: Post a comment with your guess as to what artist you think we purchased. I’ll award Amazon gift cards to all correct guesses. However, if you already know, if I’ve already told you or you’ve already seen our new art, you cannot play. Sorry, but that’d be cheating. I don’t like cheaters.
That’s it. Get your thinking caps on and post your guess. Only 1 guess per person. I can’t wait to see your guesses. I’ll just bet it’s not who you think it is.
Word of the Day: Jocundity
Fun fact about me: I’m so glad we’re no longer living in California with all the crazy rolling black-outs and out-of-control wildfires. Stay safe Californians.

Sometimes nothing is good. Keep busy and stay well. I will work on keeping a little jocundity in my day today… I need it. Take care and stay well. Peace.

Sometimes nothing is the best I can give to certain projects. Doesn’t mean I don’t think about said projects, just means I’m moving things to back burners.
Have a fantastic week, Clay! I hope your son is making strides toward normalcy. I think of you guys often.

I have no idea about the artist! But I am so worried for everyone in California. It is sooo sad that the fires seem to get worse every year, while the worlds leaders (yours in particular) do so little to oppose climate change. 😦

Josy, I can honestly say I am ever so thankful I’m not living in California any longer. We have family there and they are doing okay but could be in danger if the winds continue in their direction. California in particular is poorly managed by political leaders. The entire state is very corrupt and the fact that they don’t manage the forests and unpopulated areas better is just insane.
But, I’m not in charge and I don’t live there any more (for those reasons and more) so I’m safe from wildfires at this time.
Thanks for stopping by and joining the discussion. I look forward to more hiking journeys from you.
