view from the store

so for any of you who have not been to cape may and seen my ceramic studio...i wanted to give a brief description of what i see out of my windows. it is different now then it was in june, july or august..but it is still beautiful. it is 12:28pm and as i look out the windows i see the sea wall (which was installed years ago to help reduce flooding when hurricanes come up the coast) on the sea wall is a boardwalk ..a horse and buggy just drove by...so on the boardwalk are a few families walking with their coats and scarves...just beyond the boardwalk is a few feet of sea grass or wild love grass as i have seen it called on signs around cape may...and right at the edge of the sea grass is a cute little fence that seperates the sea grass from the sand. the sand is only a short length compared to most other beaches (it is eroding due to a man made canal during a war..i dont know which war..sorry) then the water...the atlantic ocean... today there are not any boats or atleast none i can see. there will probably be a whale watching tour or a dolphin boat sometime today. in the summer the ocean is full of boats...parasailing...advertising and of course the beach is covered with umbrellas..the unbrellas blocked my view so it is nice to see the water but the customers have all gone home...so the umbrellas are something to look forward to. so i am off to paint some samples..and get some to do stuff off of my list.

In response to Who is Parsons Brown???

attacking someone on their web site isnt very nice. but just in case anonymous wants to know i did not know parson brown was a minister and i dont think i have ever heard that in a sermon..so i am not sure how being a devout church member has anything to do with this song. and i wasnt trying to ruin CHRISTMAS!! i never thought about the meaning until someone else brought it up and i always thought parson brown was just a color...and to tell you the truth i never thought anything sexual about the song and in re-reading my post there is not a mention of the "questionable" part of the song being about anything sexual...well everyone is entitled to their opinions. sorry if i offeneded anyone it was not meant to be offensive. merry christmas.

landing in atlantic city

so when i flew in from california i had a window seat and when the plane came around the southern tip of new jersey as it always does i saw the cape may light house and then all around for miles i saw the most beautiful sight! it looked like new jersey was on fire...actually like there were many small fires in patches as far as i could see. since ther was no smoke i knew it wasnt fire. the autumn leaves had all begun turning before i left but it was dark when i took off and i didnt have a window seat...so the landing was spectacular!! i cant even begin to explain how cool it was to see fall from the air. i have been wanting to type this since i got back but just havent had time. if you have never seen fall...i mean the fall where all the trees leaves turn and then begin to fall you should consider coming to visit us in the fall...another cool thing is when you drive down the street the leaves are falling and every once in a while it is like the sky is raining orange, red and yellow lea
