It's Sunday night, and my cable is out, so I'm listening to Pandora.  Feeling nostalgic, I'm jumping from 70's love songs to old country. It's funny how many songs are about how sorry someone is that they cheated.  Not to state the obvious, but, DUH! I really don't get the "why" of cheating.  Maybe it's because I've been with Charlie so long, but I don't understand the desire to go after "strange". Even in my first marriage, at it's worst, I never thought about stepping out.  I guess it's just a foreign concept to me.

I am enjoying my musical interlude, though. Normally, the only time I listen to the radio is in the car.  Listening to these songs remind me of when we first started doing art shows and markets.  We lived in Douglasville then, and it always seemed like a long drive home on Saturday night.  We would turn on "Country Gold Saturday Night" and sing along.  Some of the songs even remind me of sitting in honky-tonks in Texas many years ago, and dancing to "belt buckle rubbing" music.  Okay, now I feel old!

It's been a routine weekend.  Lunch Meat is still here, and all the dogs got a bath today.  Baths have to be done in a certain order. Tico has to go first, because if she sees anyone else getting bathed, she goes into hiding.  Bitsy's next, cuz she's in the bathroom, checking on Tico and easily caught.  Peanut is the easiest to catch, because she's moving slowly these days.  The easiest to bathe is the Luncher, obviously he is groomed more often than my girls!

We're trying to work out the logistics of FolkFest in August.  In previous years, we've shared space with Winder Binder, and it's gone well.  Charlie wants more space this year, so he's looking at other options.  Of course, the festival is in August, so we're starting late.  Nothing like planning ahead!

I'm hoping to use FolkFest to connect with more galleries.  Megan is helping me design a new brochure to introduce Charlie and his art.  We are not graphic artists, so it's not going well!

I'm thinking about my friend, Tina Torrance, tonight.  She's in the hospital.  I know she must be scared, worried about what's going to happen, so I'm saying a prayer tonight.  I hope you will, too.  Every time I've seen or spoken with Tina, she's been so upbeat and loving.  Lousy things happen to good people.

The cable's on - YAY!  More in a few days...
