Well, I promised long ago that I would post pictures from the East Muskingum School District Hall of Fame Ceremony (whew, that is a mouthful!) when I got them, and I am finally doing that. So here is one from my speech – I think the superintendent is smiling in the background because my speech was very short.

Next is a shot of the three of us honorees – Denny Elliott, Ginny Bradley, and myself. You can’t see that on the plaque it says that I went to the University of Maine for sociology rather than zoology…

And last, but not least, is a picture of my groovy cool award clock! Now look closely at the inscription – I haven’t taken Latin since high school, but even I know that it should be “alumna” instead of “alumnus“… Pretty amusing coming from a scholarship dinner award! Maybe they didn’t actually know to whom they were giving the award. They did spell my name right though, so that is something!

In other news, I still have the cover to do for Miss Tutu’s Star – still waiting for my editor to look at the sketches I sent a month ago. I guess they must not be in a huge hurry! In the meantime, I have a huge order of bears to make for tedde, and I really have to start on ornaments – agh! This year’s designs will be elephants and bears. And I would really like to get back to doing some oil painting… And I am heading back out to Ohio next week to see the Elder P’s. So there you have it, my life in a nutshell!
