John has been working on taxes and dealing with insurance companies. I have been working on masterpieces. These are sandblasted luster pieces. Still need to add dichroic glass and gold paint and fire again, and then slump.  Been getting some nice bike rides in. It is fun to watch spring coming. Here is today on the bike path.

We got a generous settlement from the insurance company. So now we are shopping for a new motor home. We looked at the 2005  40 foot  Country Coach Inspire today.  A little newer and longer, had an extra slide in the front but  a cheaper model than the Intrigue we had, so not built quite as nice and not as many extras.  But a nice start to shopping.

John at dinner at Illegal Pete’s eating foil . .  . Has a nice deck on top, we watched sunset while we ate. Then dessert at the Chocolate Cafe. Oh my, yum yum!

Dinosaurs never ate pizza and now they’re extinct. Coincidence?? Seen at a local pizza place.  turtles on MacMurray pond, and blooming flowers. 78 degrees today.

Sunset during dinner on our deck. Actually our deck is just the landing at the top of the stairs, but two chairs can be crowded onto it and it is lovely for dinner.  We looked at a 32 foot Dynaquest on Weds. Nice coach, but too small, no storage. Still looking.

The peacock piece is in the kiln for it’s third firing.  Noooooooo, what is this white stuff??? It snowed, then rained all day today. It is freezing.

Will have to put the flip flops away for awhile. Booo. My hula hoops with snow, and the kayaks like fish out of water. . .

Snow on the flowering bulbs and lilacs.

To top it off I put too much green on the peacocks feathers. I will have to see if I can revive it and fire it again. . . The leaf pieces came out well tho. They still need to be slumped.
