Thanks, Lise….I’m grateful to have time and circumstance to look back and reminisce on so many quirky happenings! We’ve shared quite a few, as I recall!

Oh, my poor dear! What an experience. You are very adept, but also have guardian angels. Love this batch of artwork! The mountains and the mirage were my favs! 😌❤️

Aw thanks, Colleen. Those potentially dreary trips inevitably involved ‘personal growth’ whether subtle or dramatic. I’ve found that accepting physical limits, ‘losing face’, etc. makes room for flashes of grace and giggles…

This really scared me. It might have happened in the past, but still, it reeks of personal danger. In today's human trafficking world, you can bet you'd need to be more aware of your driver! I hope you have better rides now!

Good to see the art you created around it - I esp love the one with the horror-faced person!

Thank you, Angela. No harm done. The twists and turns of that day gave me a few ups and downs to relate, plus a new painting to finish. All good.

Always love your stories. I never use UBER, always LYFT. Probably for you UBER may be better. Make sure that the driver is given instructions before he even arrives at your house. You bear yourself with dignity, and others should too.

Thanks, great to hear from you, Sandy. I hope to get some more stories formatted so I can publish more regularly…

Such a wild world. Beautifully portrayed on a day that sounds like much more than "unsettling". Yikes!

And yet you've captured it in 4 pieces of art. Brava, Sherry!

Thanks, Deb. You continue to be my steadfast cheerleader and I appreciate it!

I'm so very glad to know that you did survive this harrowing experience in your first Uber ride down the grade. I am so sorry you had to experience that at all though. I do love the art you shared in this newsletter thank you so much. Always such an inspiration

Thanks for your caring response, Ms. Kim. The incident happened several years ago and might be embellished in memory. So glad you like the art. I’m a fan of your clay works.
