Forced myself to take a 2 day break, Thursday and Friday. Used that time to photograph future subjects.....more vegetable matter, my teacup collection, some seashells. Saturday at last! Even though yesterday was Saturday and I was not scheduled to work, and you would think the day was wide open, alas I filled it to the brim: 0700 Lion's Club breakfast (down $18), 0630-1100 set up the jewelry display in the Fire Hall with fellow-Farmers Market vendors (up $100); 1100-1200 unpacked jewelry stuff, entered the day's take on the spreadsheet and packaged up 2 sales from ebay (up another $10); went shopping with Dave for a new washer-dryer, he spent oodles of time researching the "correct" replacements, but insisted the decision was "mine" - I selected "correctly" of course (down $1600); stopped by the in-laws (Bev and Nick), Bev is tolerating her diagnosis with pancreatic cancer with the same dignity she has displayed through every unpleasant life-event she has faced in her 80+ years, I was able to take down her Christmas décor and package it up, something she just didn't have the energy for herself, God Bless this Woman; got home at 1630 and had an hour to paint, did the two peppers Joe had left-over from his latest Chili creation (he used a strip steak for the main meat in this one, it was delicious, as usual); 1800-2230 Dave and I met friends for dinner and drinks (down $88); bed at 2230, exhausted, put off the blog till this morning. Net: down $1596, Dave says he'll have diarrhea for a week. Even though my hobby-cash inflow helped!!!??? I think he needs daily painting more than me.

I think Joe said these were Serano peppers. Ooops, no, he corrected this. They're Fresno's.
