Summer is Here


 
Merry Meet,

            How have you been…it (as always) has been busy…so glad you took time to come see me…so much has changed since last we spoke…grab you a drink, come sit and we can chat…feel free to fill a plate and relax…
 
    Due to several speaking and video engagements at American Boudica, the coastal trip has been moved to the fall…we have also added on to our art exhibition in the UK and hope to be speaking of an American date soon…the children’s book is so cute, I can hardly wait for it to be released...we will also be adding new academic papers…we are putting together the inventory that will be available during speaking engagements…
 
            The art from Girly Pirate has been great…we have several different series- travel, Boudica, digital art, Girly Pirate, photo art, etc...I love the quality of the product and design that Zazzle provides us with…I am so blessed…our newest series is the 'Captain Chris' Comic Covers...we have blown up several in poster size...this is just way too cool...
 

            NPE has found a new location…it is called the Inglis Bypass Dam…we worked hard on the presentation and I am hopeful…still interviewing electricians and looking for one who is a good fit…we now have the unit and are finishing the outfitting of it while we await a response from the state…




            In the Circle we are working to the Summer Solstice…candles of red and yellow…it lands on June 21 this year…a pool party and fireworks will be better than a bon fire…I will also try to get some fresh blooms planted….
 
 

            At Sunshine Paddle it has been a busy month…donation drop 4 was to the shelter…we gave money, water, goodies for the shelter, goodies for shelter workers and tools for police…then we went to the Blue Springs Park in High Springs to make an appearance- OMG so beautiful…it was then time for our fifth donation drop and this one went to the Helping Hands Food Bank…here we brought money and as they had just been stocked with food by the postal carriers, a bag of treats for pets…The Blue Horizon was sold to Britney who will be using her on a 100 mile river paddle for charity…how cool is that…

            School has been a challenge but, I have a great professor…I am in a research class about mixed methodology…it is quite interesting…I am thinking this is what I will use in my dissertation…I am focusing in on strategy…it is neat to see it narrow…I have got my hotel and am excited for residency this year...it will be a good time in Fort Lauderdale


            Mom and Dad are now home…my grandson has been taking me to the pool…we have been enjoying the birds…The yard has been full of cardinals and king fishers…the cactus has been blooming for about a week…the yard has been sprouting the oddest flowers I have ever seen…really neat…Debby has been up visiting…

            Well sweetie, it is that time again…I must set up the fireworks…yes, I will be excited for Helmat to see them…come by later if you want to watch…I am glad we had this time:)

 

Blessed Be,

The Girly Pirate
