Plum Pottery...It's always a mess and there is an endless amount of chores to be done but I am thankful for this place...where I can escape three nights a week at the "witching hour" when the kids are getting owly and emotions run high..and on the weekends when I would otherwise plan way to many outings and events...this place calms me!I get to be creative, hang out with adults, talk politics and in the case of this class...Eat!! Every week someone from the Wednesday night class brings something fabulous. Last night it was awesome guacamole, last week a ridiculously delicious pumpkin cake that Johnny called something like "Choc Full 'O Fat Cake" (I forget exactly the name but you get the idea.) We've had rice pudding and mexican hot chocolate and lemon tarts...and I never have to make them. Wow! I love it when someone actually cooks for ME!
Yes, last night was great... At around 8:00 I got a phone call from home to GO LOOK AT THE MOON. The clouds parted finally and our class stood in the alley looking up at the lunar eclipse. A great night.
Anyway, I love my job if you can even call it that. I would say that the rest of my life is much more difficult...the juggling tasks, the driving everywhere, the orgization of drs. appts and b-days, the volunteering, the LAUNDRY... etc...The fact that I am a potter and teacher is such a blessing! ...
