I could be oil painting but seem to want to pull weeds, write blog posts, text with a friend about a difficult situation, make yogurt, and write a few letters.
We have a bit of a situation, but as a wise friend has said, “When you have a problem and you have money to fix it, you don’t have a problem; you have an inconvenience.
Prolly a starter. Maybe a fuse. Not the ignition switch or the battery. Thank goodness for the good pick-em-up truck (2003) AND the Botmobile (1986). Thank goodness for AAA, for upping the towing package 2 years ago, for Valero Bros. in Woodlake, and for Foreign Autoworks’ new owner, Frank.
We have a new pastor at church, someone with lots of energy and ideas. He joined the 50% of the congregation who wanted to remove the kraft paper from the front windows and asked a pair of fearless monkey-dudes to help. See if this doesn’t cause your guts to squeeze a bit. . .
Okay, done rambling. Gonna paint now.

Let’s find out!!!!! No marmots and no skeeters would be marvelous. Would not miss either one?
It reminds me of the famous Ogden Nash poem:
The Lord, in His wisdom, made the fly
And then forgot to tell us why.
Those windows are gorgeous and if I was a betting woman I’d put money down on the fact it looks like my favourite Californian artist might have painted the wall behind the front stage?
Elisabeth, you are correct! No one else noticed that part. I don’t think I even signed the painting, because I do NOT want to use my church to advertise—I want my art to enhance worship and glorify God.
Ha! Ha! Look at those rednecked turkeys! Very cool! I could not deal with heights like that, but those windows will be amazing!
Michelle, those dadgum turkeys are taking over our yard. Sometimes they just cozy up to the living room windows and stare in.
The windows now let in light. It is such an improvement!
“Red” neck ramblings, I get it!
Helping a friend and writing letters takes the priority in my mind!
Vehicles: can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em!
You had paper on your church’s windows, covering up those beautiful views? I’m with the new guy, take it down and soak in God’s beautiful creation!
Now, back to summer sales planning!
Sharon, thanks for getting the redneck reference.(•u•)
The paper was supposed to make it easier to see screens, applied maybe 10 or more years ago, and it cut down on light coming in the front. There are no views through those windows—too high, yellow glass. And the sun is only a problem for a few weeks in the summer, but since we haven’t had evening services in a very long time, it’s not really a problem. Like everything, half the folks said “leave the paper” and the other half said “why??”
Are you painting a marmot? For darts practice? Dreadful pests. The good Lord created them for a reason? Hmmmmmm.
Melissa, marmots and mosquitos defy any explanation for their existence, but I bet if they went away completely that somehow the balance of nature would go askew.
