So I just arranged my 170 digital pictures in my England album. Sigh... I can't wait to get back to England. I just can't believe I was finally there. My lifelong dream had been to get to England. Being around all that history is just mind-boggling. Here in America it seems almost like a manufactured heritage since there is not much. But I actually sat in buildings from the 1400's! Oh, if only I could travel back and find out that in a former life I lived there hundreds of years ago. I guess if this trip I am planning to take students on in April doesn't happen, then I can zip on to London then. If not, we'll be going right after the school year ends. Some friends gave us London stuff for our birthdays so I guess we just have to go there. Shoot....We just know it will be very different than our experience in the North. Hubby will probably immediately think it doesn't compare...I will probably be overwhelmed...If only we could bring Millie so we could stay for more than a week...
I am really enjoying the summer life right now - except for a couple of annoyances (later...). I even managed to get some soft sculptures and glass and cap pins done. I am also finally listening to some records I have bought over the last year. Vinyl is sooo much better than plastic! I just can't get myself to set up the basement for darkroom yet. I can't bear the thought of working without open windows when it is so nice out. That's okay. The jewelry and sculptures keep me busy. Gardening, swimming, creating, reading, napping with Millie...
Oh yeah, and our psycho neighbour was arrested for assault today. Finally. Every week I have to hear him screaming at his wife. I just hope she presses charges and he can't come back, but we know how well the law protects the victims right? I'm not holding my breath. This creep dented a ledge on our pool, throws his cigarette butts in our yard, probably is responsible for our melted siding, and scares the heck out of me. I usually just duck out of sight when he's out. It sure was nice seeing him in cuffs. Scary fight, nice ending.
The wrists are hurting - need to get one of those squishy wrist rests...
