We haven't met but she reminds me of myself--always trying something different and questioning herself. I think both of us are eyeball-deep in emotions and deal with it by using humor. And I also deep clean when I'm upset (didn't know anyone else did that). <br /><br />So you didn't miss me? I think that my coments on your blog posted, but I was unable to post on the blogs of SamArtDog, Robin, and Kathy. I kept trying--that's when I got kicked off. Google was very efficient when I figured out how to reactivate my account--very easy to do; gave them my phone no. and they called within one minute! Full disclosure: I own stock.

I guess we can worry if there's been no new post for several years. Your line "Silence can be so deafening....almost like a shotgun at a wedding" is so funny.

I'm glad I wasn't around to see your absence. I think I would have gotten worried like PAMO.<br /><br />Your question about death and the blog is a compelling one. I've wondered something similar before. Since my wife has no idea how to post on a blog and none of my kids could give a care about it, how would the word get out if I were gone? Would people just assume I've quit blogging or will they think I'm listening to those angels?

My first sculpture with the chisel and mallet, though, felt so natural (probably because of my love of tools) that I stuck with it for about 35 years. I liked the messiness of clay, too. I'm re-learning to paint; but my paintings are usually very similar to my sculptures.<br /><br /><br />Yes, Rhonda. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.<br /><br /><br />Hi Celeste. I can hear you.
