Hard to believe but the week is half over. Woke up to another rainy dreary day but the kids did catch the bus this morning! Into studio on time at 8. Kilns are doing exactly what they are supposed to do, no surprise really, the 16 had just finished and the 10 was starting to ramp up so our electric meter peak indicator didn’t go up any more! Nice and warm in the studio. That gets important as the day goes by , especially for Cindy when she is throwing a couple of hundred pounds of pots and gets wetter and muddier as time passes. We had a look at our schedule and I wound up back in the office working on web related stuff, and getting back into the Rocky Mountain Dragon Story again, all about Timidthy and his friends.Working title, "Dragons?What Dragons?" I think we’re about half way through the book and the exciting part is just beginning! I’ll slip back down to the studio later for lunch with Cindy.I Left her chained to the wheel.(joking!)
Took a picture of our pot mobile, in front of the studio. General Motors best kept secret. All wheel drive, passenger doors both sides, hauls a ton of clay or pots (literally),( can load our entire 10 by 10 show booth and product in the back),and is great on long trips, all for a reasonable cost. Since we got our Savana a year ago we’ve put almost 37000 km on it ,(have gone all the way to Mexico and back), and wouldn’t trade it for any other vehicle. The guys in Missouri sure put this one together right for us!
You can see by the puddles we’ve been having precipitation and it sure slows the drying down. Cindy expects to have all the pots thrown today for the Craft Coucil initial order. We want to have our products on display there in time for the July 1st long weekend. Official start of tourist season.
I’ll break today into segments. Have to get back to story telling……Jim
