Play ball !
As obsessions go, baseball is not terrible. I'd rather listen to the radio than watch it on TV but my fellow Braves fanatic scored tickets to the game this year and invited me along.
This was my very first opening day and the Braves & the weather made it special. The team waited until the very last inning to pull off a win and the skies didn't open up until we hit the sidewalk outside the stadium!

Auditions begin
I was packing up an order this morning and these two hot tickets jumped into the river basket. A story quilt aborning.

FaceBook - meh
All this bullshit about how FB has been using harvested data and manipulating minds. How is that a shock? When was anything ever really free, even if you ignore the ads?
I've known this since the early 90s the first time I logged into an AOL chatroom under the name DuchessaNY. They sent a floppy disk in the mail addressed to "resident". I wondered what the catch was and figured it out right quick, child of Madison Avenue that I am.
The best thing about FB? Connecting with faraway family and friends, some never met in real life. And Throwback Thursdays which seems itself to be slipping into the past.
Here, I will continue to reach out, connect and, once in a while, look back.

at hand
My friend Grace is in a new, strange and limiting place. She's working with just whats at hand. The comments tell the tale as much as the picture.
It took me ten minutes to choose these. I took the picture and tossed them back into the sea of cloth.
My biggest art challenge has always been an almost compulsive need to use every crayon in the box. Limiting my pallet has always been painful.
The black & white series from '12-'13 was a sideways attempt to face that issue. Slick me, I found out just how many shades of gray there are between those two poles. Then my life kind of came unglued and I'm still finding my way.
We made it through the storm with no trauma or damage
