Hi Dear Friends
![Hi There! :hithere](./images/smilies/icon_howsit.gif)
,
I need to make this a relatively short, quick post (as much as possible for me, that is!
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
) because we're leaving tomorrow morning to go down to Santa Cruz, staying until about Sunday, to look for a next place to live!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Our motel is supposed to have wireless Internet access, so hopefully I'll be able to keep logging in from there as well!
I managed to catch
PP via email right before she left and wish her a happy trip. As I noted, since the both of us will be on trips at the same time, it feels symbolic of some kind of parallel growth going on (as all of us have been experiencing with each other here
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
).
As for the Gallery, the "Be Your Own Art Director" proposal passed, the negative co-founder and her henchman are now both officially out, and everyone was really sad to hear that we're now moving away, but they invited us to put our work in the Gallery on consignment
![Idea :idea:](./images/smilies/icon_idea.gif)
, so that we can still have a venue for selling it even from far away.

One of the members who lives on our road offered to be our "agent," and came over to our house today and took a bunch of our art back, and is going to place it in the Gallery and hang it up for us.

So, that turned out to be a pretty good deal all the way around!

I had to update
aquadeb.com, since I only kept a handful of hoops here from my inventory, but I have about 13 hoops with the design already drawn on them in gutta -- I just need to sit down and paint them all one if these days after we get back!
Sandy, thanks so much for your kind comments!
![Its love LUV2](./images/smilies/icon_wub.gif)
. Also, thanks for the link to Phil's amazing story -- I didn't comment on that thread, but WOW, that's quite a story!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Thank god he was warned!:happy
I think all of us has had one of those melted-plastic types of kitchen mishaps at some time or other!
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Chocolate chip cookies! -- Mmm, those are as good as cheesecake! Yes, I'll have some of those too, please!
Lilly, thanks for your positive comments!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Glad Aidan has been getting better, but sorry that you have been a bit under the weather! I'm sending sending along healing thoughts and prayers for you!
![Lots of love :kiss:](./images/smilies/icon_kiss.gif)
I agree, "lighthouse" is a great word for this place!
![colors :colors:](./images/smilies/icon_colors.gif)
Ooh, I LOVE cheesecake, especially with whipped cream and berries!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Yes, I'll have some, please!
![colors :colors:](./images/smilies/icon_colors.gif)
How wonderful that you sing!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
And how cool about the face of your cat appearing in the pattern of the curtain!
![colors :colors:](./images/smilies/icon_colors.gif)
Pavlova, is that the same as baklava? (I love baklava!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
)
Doc, if you're still around, very interesting info on Vulcan; thanks for the links! Hope to see you back again whenever the time is right...
PP, even though you're not here right now, thanks for the colors info -- it's good to know I'm a Summer instead of a Winter -- I'll have to look into that further sometime!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I'll try to check out the Eden Event website sometime too when I get the chance.
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Glad to hear that Oprah's doing "summer school" now! We finally ordered a "real" copy of A New Earth, instead of just an e-book copy, so maybe Ron and I will join in on it at some point!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Thanks for the meditation link too!
Laura, on the bright side, the argument that you and your husband had probably is a sign that genuine change is taking place, and may be disrupting the equilibrium initially, but in the end, I bet you'll both end up with increased growth and consciousness.
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Yes, we'll try to go with our intuition in Santa Cruz and see where it takes us!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
And German chocolate cake, count me in on that!
Reba, I, too, am glad to hear your water problem is under control!
Maria, I'm sorry to hear about your mishap with your friend, but I'm sure this friend will recognize how sincerely sorry you are and what a kind heart you have, and will forgive you!
![Happy Happy :happy](./images/smilies/icon_blueangel.gif)
That's great, that Sven and Ivan are home again!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I'm sending along prayers for you to visit Maurits soon!
Mmm, that smörgåstårta you added a link to looks lovely! I'll take some of that too, please! (Uh-oh, with the cheesecake, the chocolate-chip cookies, the chocolate cake, and now this treat, I'll be lucky if I can even move!
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
)
Heather, wow
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
, glad to hear that you and your house are safe from those fires!
Kim, hi!
Gypsie Deb, great to hear from you!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I'm sorry to hear about your supervisor yelling at you
![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
, and I send along prayers that things will improve and you'll end up with the ideal job situation for you!
Gosh it's late here suddenly, after midnight!
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
I'd better get some sleep for our road trip tomorrow!
Love to you all
