bummer

No music for now. Kept getting an echo.
How sad!
Maybe I'll get it back tomorrow...

Echo*echo*echo...

Is there an echo in here or is it me?
Yikes...don't know what happened, but I'm trying to fix it. BUMMER!

Trip for sure!


YES! Tickets have been purchased! I will be going to Phoenix March 11 for a glorious, warm, 6 day visit with my dear friend and fellow artist. We are going to visit our friend who moved there last year. She is also an artist, and actually the woman ho taught me encaustic painting. It will be an art and laughter filled visit! I am so excited! This winter is just way to winter-filled this year. Wish I could leave tomorrow.
The pix above is from last year's visit. That's the 3 of us at the top of one of the vortexes in Sedona. Now, that was an interesting experience! I'm a little skeptical about things that are so commercial as the vortexes in Sedona. If something is supposed to be a "spiritual experience" it really shouldn't be advertised all over the place. So, we explored 3 of them. (Ther went my principes!) For the most part there was nothing remarkable, except for the scenery, until the last one, where this pix is taken. When we got to the top of this place, we all felt something. Can't say exactly what, but something. Sort of a peace I guess. Hard to put into words. I still remember it though. Nice. I do believe that there is something beyond our physical universe and that there can be and is communication with that something. So maybe that's what was up there...or maybe the air was just thinner. Dunno, but I liked it and hope we go again.

What can you say?

So "Helmet Hair" is out. We have a new governor here, but I'm not sure the old one is really going to leave. Listening to him today was actually a little sad. He just doesn't get it. Or maybe he does! Maybe he's using this insanity trick to save his neck. Who knows! Who cares! He's done and hopefully our new Gov will be better. What am I saying? Of course he'll be beter, but will he be any good?! Actually, I have a good feeling about Gov Quinn. He graduated from Fenwick High School, the same school my husband and sons graduated from. Not that that means much. I just know how the Jesuits taught them and I think Gov Q soaked up some of the "good stuff" from them. He started the Citizens Utility Board, so he has at least one point!
Time will tell.
My fingers are crossed.

Wooo-hoo!

I did it!

More?

OK, so now I have to figure out how to put more music on here! This could get kinda boring after a while. Not that Nina is ever boring! It would just be nice to have more music! I think music is one of the most important things in life.

Music...and a wish


Well, almost! I have created a playlist, but I need to figure out how to post it....don't hold your breath, but it'll be here soon. In the meantime, go to Pandora.com and play your own tunes!

Above is a pix of what I wish I was doing!
