| Has this or something similar ever happened to you? I was driving and saw a fellow who looked lost, talking on his cell phone. I thought, "I could probably tell him where the location is, as I know this whole town inside and out." But, I drove on. At the next light, another fellow leaned out his truck window and asked, "Do you know where Dodge Middle School is?" And I didn't know. I felt like the arrogant fool that I was. I started laughing about being Miss Know-It-All. However, a few minutes later a lovely man that I met last year and then taught to find work in America, in Tucson specifically, shook my hand at the bank and said, "Thanks so much, Miss, I have two jobs now, a car and my family is very well, thanks be to you." I remember his very large worries about his wife and seven children and felt good about my silly old self again. This planet and life has a wonderful sense of timing and humor for putting us in our place and then picking us up again. |

One of my customers, Jo
Wiedenbeck and her husband,
Lyle, recently drove down from
Apache Junction to visit.
Jo makes exquisite, unparalleled
grass and pine needle baskets,
like those in this link and I traded
one of her baskets with ceramic
robins on it for my wolf figurine
from my last newsletter. I gifted
Jo's basket to my dear sister,
Robin.
Her husband, Lyle, a very nice
fellow who paints water colors of
the southwest and does it very
well.
We met at my mother's house and
had a lovely time.
I cannot believe that I forgot to
photograph Joanne holding the
beautiful robin basket.

I love custom orders because
they are off of my well beaten
path of comfort. I have to
visualize something new and
then try to execute it.
Otis Alexander has been waiting
for over a year for his piece, a
sleeping woman. I had to dream
about it and about how to make
it before I could make it.
I finally did visualize it this past
week. I have also been ill, not
working in clay very much.
Others await my slow
production of their pieces and I
apologize.
My friend Sue asked for a wall
plaque for her new Hawaiian
home about two or three years
ago and I just finished it today. It
is of a Navajo Yei'i surfing
Hawaii. It reads, " Nou ka hale,"
which means This Is Your
House, a Mi Casa es Su Casa
equivalent.

| Judy out at the San Xavier Mission Gift Shop bought up all of my turtles, my first group in about two or more years. I had also made some cute little snakes just for something to do with some extra hard and unmalleable clay. So, if you want a turtle now, you'll have to go out to the Mission off of I-19 south of Tucson. |

I have been placing lottery tickets in the basket of my Santa Loteria, trying to train her to pray for the tickets. I want her to know how to do it by the time she sells to someone. So far, with her first ten tickets in the past month, she hasn't understood her mission. |
| I am presently painting a cardboard box full of about 15 wall plaques with angels, quail and turtles on them. Click here to see what clay is left for sale from last month. |

| In Panama on the San Blas Islands live the Cuna Indians. The women make "molas". The women embroider and cut back multi-colored layers of cloth to make lovely panels for the fronts and backs of their blouses. Tourists began to buy them off of their clothes lines, sooooooooo Now they make them for sale to the tourists. I made one of acrylic on canvas, my idea of an Arizona Scorpion Mola in their style. Good artists imitate, great artists steal. I think that Picasso said that. |
