All at once!

So, so, way too busy. Jell-O Art Show in less than two weeks, then just a week to prepare for Opening Day of Saturday Market, with all of the attendant details that come with the family reunion that launching a community event will be. We have a huge family, because it includes every person who happens by as well as those who intend to be there. 

It is not easy to focus on any one thing, and I keep getting distracted with the upcoming future events of OCF, and of course, now, the wedding. I have been delegated to make some Jell-O Art for the bride and groom and of course I have an elaborate plan that I cannot begin. 

I also have a big and growing pile of work, the kind I make money from, which is a delightful change, although I don't quite know how I will fit it in. I am hilariously devoted to my highest priority, the Jell-O Art Show, and that is just the fact of my life. All else pales.

And anyway, I can't do much about most of the other things, and my living room is full of Jell-O, posterboard and markers, so I might as well keep doing it until it is finished. I don't want to drop too many things off the list, especially my own exhibit. So maybe sleeping and eating drop off the list...reading already has.

But I thought I would say hello. Market people, just keep working, and hope for good weather, but we will all be there whatever the weather for the first selling day in months. Try not to worry about things that aren't really in front of you. Whatever happens with the city and the county and the farmers and the developers and all of that, we will still do what we have done for over forty years (!) and show up with our handmade wares and our smiles. Those things will settle out around us and we will still be smiling, I am sure.

Country Fair seems like a big deal and it is...but again, it will roll on like it has for years and despite changes, will be dependably ours. Some things don't change as much as others. We love our *unique retro-hippie atmosphere* and will preserve it because it is us...I doubt I could really project much else at this point.

Except maybe *unique retro-hippie Jell-O Artist mother-of-the-groom* complexity. I'll still look the same, maybe more worried and more smiley. Dancing all the way....
