Hi All,
My house held a flurry of artistic talent today as 8 women, Effie, Kim, Rachel, Joan, Lisa, Carolyn, Marilyn and guest, Adrian proved that TOWNIES can create mosaic masterpieces that are museum worthy.
There are a few words that can describe the artistic ideas that were being showcased today. All of the women opted to make trivets and Carolyn had to try out the electric compound miter saw to have her edge squared. Despite the whirr of the blade of the saw and the sharp talons of the broken tiles, no TOWNIE or guest, needed Band-Aids today although the bandage box had been delicately placed in the middle of the table in case it was needed. That did cause some trepidation in the beginning for some of the artists. However we all overcame our fears and tackled the mosaic project.
Each artist created a very unique piece.
My Brazilian neighbors provided excellent snacks and food throughout the event as there had been concern that the TOWNIES could possibly be starving artists. Each piece of work of art seemed to improve as each glass of wine was consumed and each morsel of food was tasted. It was also a note worthy day that Willie, the bad dog, was actually nice today and did not snap at anyone. Millie, the good dog, found a new lap and fell in love with Aunt Effie.
We had a tip jar set out for my neighbor who did all of the cooking. The only tears that were shed today were hers when I delivered the tips to her after all the TOWNIES had left. She remarked what a wonderful group of women they must be. I believe we also convinced Adrian to join us. She was not too intimidated by us and I don’t know if that’s a mark of her heroism or if we were just on an off day of TOWNIE craziness.
Until next time….
Happy Trails, Marsha
