Not sayin' one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got."

We got to stay at the Sandy Point Farm at the hospitality of Susan and her husband, Derek. But staying on a great piece of land apparently wasn't enough. No, we also had the fortune of having Samuel Green come over for dinner. Samuel Green, as in the Poet Laureate of Washington State. I was surprised he remembered me from February when I gave him a charcoal portrait of him. Greatness!

So, that was Thursday night.

I would've said $50. Greg wrote in $200 as the value. All auction pieces had starting bids at half-price and go from there. In a silent auction, my piece sold for $140, my very first professionally sold piece!

Seeing all that awesome artwork also inspired me to keep going with my own!

And to top off the week, I am happy to announce that it has been a month being with


Okay, now I'm going to sleep!
