Thing One and Thing Two

by cindy

A-a-a-a-nd I’m back.

I managed to miss posting in January. So much for New Year’s Resolution #43: “Write something at least once a month” which fell just after Resolution #42: “Paint in studio daily” and just before the ubiquitous Resolution #44: “Lose weight”. Failures all. Sigh.

“Have no fear of this mess,

said the Cat in the Hat.

I always pick up all my playthings!

And so…”

And so…we shall see.

In the meantime, I’ve headed out to Chicago.
