Beaver:
Michelle!: Such a month you have had! With all the pain and stress, you seem to be moving forward admirably. Your wisdom will keep you grieving as needed. I am just only over the worst of losing my friend on 10 October; I know the loss will always be with me.

Auto insurance is such a crapshoot. Perseverance is all that can work.

Yesterday, I was able to throw - 5 good sized - pots in my very well insulated studio. I shall never sell enough pots to pay for the work that has been done but I can enjoy it and use it as long as I am able.

My auction idea was well received by a few but part part way through the day, I received an email - just to myself and the treasurer- that the carpet belongs to David and he wants a cheque! I felt it would have been appropriate for D to send it to the whole group himself so I just let it go and wondered how to deal with it. Finally the third person sent a similar email to the whole group, then I explained that I had understood he did not want it back and I was hoping to raise funds for the Gallery. Received a PM from one vol. who praised the effort, and talked to Carol this am, thinking she had instigated the group email. She had not but either the sender thought better of it or someone else put her straight. Thus endeth the affair of the carpet!

Most floor areas are clear on stuff that should not be there. Ah! That box can go in a K cabinet! When I get up. Then to the studio.

R flying from Detroit to Montana today. Speaking of clutter: Did you know that you cannot buy a ticket at the airport! They told him he had to do it on line and then he could not find and no one could help him find, the flight he had seen earlier on line! Instead of early morning, he has to leave in afternoon. THAT is clutter of the worst kind!
