I love a rainy day! I must admit I have used the weather to my advantage these days. It's been raining, my gland is swelling, I don't feel like getting of bed. Actually, I get out of bed, do my mom stuff, do my domesticating, do my exercising, shower and get back into bed. This can't be good, but it feels so right. In between, i've been dosing heavily on Helen's enthusiasm and swirling energy. She is on the verge of many great things! Aren't we all??? Wish me luck I'm venturing off to my chilly studio in the garage. I've got on twelve layers and I'm ready to load my kiln. I have it filled with menorah's the kids made at the knoxville Jewish Day School and other not so jewishy things. Like my neighbor's crosses for Christmas gifts. It's a non-nondenominational kiln, all religions welcome. Every firing really is a religious experience!
