FotoFocus show and banners arrive tomorrow.

Darlene is bringing the show and banners in the truck over to school tomorrow to unload. Today, the guy from Look3 is driving up from Charlottesville with it all loaded up. Keith, Matt, David and I will be there to get it up into the gallery. It's drizzling out now and I hope that clears up for tomorrow's unload.

I got the mat board also today over at Frame King and will begin to cut mats tomorrow afternoon. I have to do all of Joel Sartore's show. I know it will look wonderful because his prints are quite nice. Then Matt and I are going to print the big one for the show after school begins and not long before we have to hang it so it doesn't get dinged.

I will be so happy when it is all up and ready to be enjoyed. It's been such a long time coming and it will be up for only a month. I hope the campus receives it well. We have students working right now on research for the summer about the show to act as docents when school children come to see both shows. They are Kirsten Schwarz' students from Environmental Sciences and Biology. The photo students who are interested are going to meet with these women and explain the photographic significance of the work.

Tonight we shift gears and go to the unveiling of the first CSA portfolio from the Carnegie. That ought to be fun and I am anxious to see what the work looks like from the other artists. I will try to save up some money to buy the next one.

The building still is not ours. The closing might be this next week. Just waiting on the paperwork to make its way back to Maysville to transfer the ownership. Joyce and Tim looked at it last week when they stopped on their way back home. I think they liked it. I know when it is fixed up, they will. Lori from Eat has already created a group of people to actively create some interest in the First Fridays art hops. We will hang some signs in our windows to let anyone who goes by what is about to happen there. I am hoping to earn some money after retirement by creating websites and doing fine ink jet printing. We will have a bit of overhead to cover each month but it won't be too much. Still lots to do before we can open up after the purchase.

MRI on my knee on Thursday next week. That should tell the tale on the lingering pain. I really need my knee to be healthy for all that is coming up.

The garden continues to produce tons of veggies. We are eating healthy food these days.
