Loblolly Gallery artists are all back on island and dabbing away.

The weather here is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Sailboats are everywhere, moderate winds are pushing them along. A small swell on the north shore is entertaining surfers. Sorry, but was no snow this year for Christmas. We expect very little rain and no snow for the next few days. Guess we will have to settle for dark tans!

"Da current done mash up again, went off last night and didn't come back on for four hours. I was a bit miffed, as I had just bought groceries! I called the big bad Elec-tricky Company a few times, but they weren't answering their phone until this morning. Finally a very weak voice, as if he was on is dying bed, gasping with one lung, answers the phone with a teeny tiny "hello". So I ask him if this is the Elec-tricky company and he gives me this pathetic weak voice "yes". And I tell him our current done mash up again and he says "the guys dem, dey didn't want to work last night, dey gonna work in da morning and get cha goin." Then he hung up (or died).

So now, da current come back and I decide to go do my dishes and make some breakfast. *Sigh* There is no water. *Sigh* Me t'inks, the new golf course is acallin."

A quote for you:

"Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons." (Al Hirschfeld)

Have a wonderful, colorful and creative year!
