Independence Day

Happy Fourth of July!  I have already had a fun-filled weekend before today and am a bit ashamed to mention my plans for celebrating our country's independence.  But not too many people read this, so here goes.  Like any typical Monday, it is Laundry Day, and the kitchen is a mess.  And maybe later I will ring some bells and shoot off some warning shots in honor of Paul Revere. 

Went to Caddo Lake for a little bit Saturday with Dad and Blue Bell.

Now, I have a concrete goal to work towards instead of meager ones that I fabricate for myself.  And its a small goal, so it suits me fine.  July 26th is the Art Walk in downtown Longview, so I will be there with some original creations in tow to dispense of at a reasonable profit.  When I first got back from Washington, D.C., last Sunday, I had all sorts of ideas for making and selling and what have you, but that was disregarding my other responsibilities.  And hence the kitchen- and the rest of the house for that matter- are in disarray, to say the least.  And this is my life.  Like anybody, I cannot focus on just one thing.  There has to be a balance between everything: cleaning, sewing, crocheting, taking care of Blue Bell, staying connected with friends, going to the gym, and a hundred other little things that add up.  There must be people that can do all this because people do more than this.  Oh, well.  I am in a certain season of my life that is not too exciting, and that is alright.
