We had good weather for the weekend, though Saturday was a bit cool and cloudy. Yesterday was a banner day. My only complaint is that the sun was too bright on the snow. Blinding. Ah, but it was definitely a spring day. We're not losing snow at a rapid pace, but there's a definite trend going on.
I finished the 2 baskets I needed to weave, and they turned out well. One is a bit better than the other, but I had a good time making them. I started thinking about getting back into the business, gently and gradually. I really did enjoy the process of weaving, and I think I might be able to sell my baskets (wholesale) to a gallery owned by friends. Who knows, this may just be a passing fancy. Right now I'm interested, but all it will take is one failure and I'll be off this kick.
I emailed my friends in the Midwest to tell them that I won't be joining the reunion this summer. I couldn't decide whether I would go or not, but finally decided it would be better for me to stay here that weekend. It's our annual meeting weekend, and I like to be here to offer a voice of reason to the collected group of cousins. And my sister will be here in America, maybe here in the Adirondacks. Anyway, it feels good to have made a decision.
I wrote to my brother's friends and will walk the letter to the post office at lunch. It's a nice day for a walk, and I feel good about communicating with these people. The last time I saw them was in the seventies, at my brother's first wedding, but Henry had been in touch with them and visited them several times in his last years.
The dogs disappeared Saturday morning, which was upsetting. I couldn't figure out where they were, gone for a few hours. Very distressing, and now they're grounded. No more joint ventures for them. It was a tough day. Yesterday was way better. Today is fine. Let's keep it up.
