Arghhhhhhh!


There is just not enough time in these modern days with all the time saving equipment. How did the pioneers and old timers do it? They worked from daylight until dark and still visited family and friends.

I can't manage to do my computer stuff, paint, golf and squeeze in a little cooking, housekeeping and day to day chores. Even with Gene's wonderful help. I was working fast and furious on my computer and painting the other rainy day and he asked what he could do. Vacumm and straighten up, I said. And because he likes to be busy he did just that. Well, maybe just a little to show me he could do it. But anyway, nice of him.

I'm still behind. When I posted the first two sketches on the hunt #5, one of the artists had posted #21. I'm leary of looking now, that was Monday morning. By now they have probably moved on to #6. I'm off to check. More sketches tomorrow .. maybe we are having company .... ooooolllld friends and will have to golf and visit tomorrow afternoon and they will spend the night. As my Mom used to say, "See you in the funny papers!"
