Altered State of Mind

I have posted a couple of pictures below of a few of the pieces that I put at Crone Cottage. Of course this week we had "Ike" blow through here, literally. Many places are without power. Bellevue being one of them. We're in the fourth day now and Duke Energy is doing a pretty good job of getting power back to everyone. Having grown up in Daytona Beach, FL. it is rather a shock that I would move to NKY and have a hurricane hit here. Most of my neighbors have lost a lot of shingles and parts of their roofs. It is quite sad. We were very fortunate and had just a little damage to our siding and never lost power. We did lose phone service for two days which isn't a big deal, except my DH teaches on line and no phone = no internet. He was not a happy camper. I kept telling him...it could be so much worse!

My DH's parents live in San Antonio and they evacuated. I'm so thankful that they are back home and are safe and sound. We were so worried. I know there are many people from the Gingerwood board who are in TX. I pray they are safe and sound.

And now to brag a minute...my wonderful 19 year old son auditioned for the Louisville Youth Symphony and not only did he make it, he is the "principal trombonist". We're so very proud of him and his many accomplishments. The only thing now is he has to travel 2 hours each way every Sunday from college to Louisville to attend practice. Luckily he carpools with two other guys. But you know, a mom still worries. lol. I hope you enjoy the art!

Altered State of Mind Art Show

The altered club that I belong to are the featured artists of the month at Crone Cottage in Bellevue, Kentucky. (Bellevue/Belleview...I always get those two mixed up...anyway down at Newport on the Levee.) Crone Cottage is a wonderful little gallery owned by Beth McGrath. She's an awesome lady and a member of the ASOM group. September 5th she held a reception for the artists. I have posted some pictures below of the reception. The first picture is Crone Cottage and the second is of Beth, the owner. It was a wonderful evening! If you're in the area, stop by Crone Cottage this month and view the work! Have a wonderful Saturday!

Some pics from the art show!
