Not a Productive ART Day

Today wasn't starting out as the best day ....I awoke with one of those splitting headaches I occasionally get. The worst part was that the dang headache woke me up around 7am, and I intended to sleep in late this morning.
I mainly worked on planning our girls retreat for May. By noon, when the headache was still pounding after taking everything in the house, I decided it was time to call the masseuse!

My usual girl wasn't working today, so I ventured out and tried a new girl. She was pretty good and the main thing was she got rid of the dreaded headache. Maybe I'll use her again if my regular girl is off work.

So, back at home, I DID get the reservation I was hoping for in Salado at The Inn on the Creek.
The other 11 girls will be very happy with our rooms.
We go on our "retreat" once every two years and this year is our ten year anniversary! It is our bi-annual birthday party and weekend visit. Every year is different and lots of fun.
Most of these girls started elementary school together and there are a about 3 that met up with us during junior high. Fifty years together for many of us! That's longer than most husbands last!
Speaking of husbands, only 2 out of the 12 have their original hubby. Some of the girls are single now and some are on their second husband, but a few have had more than two!

I had hoped to get some artwork done today, but it wasn't to be. Instead, I spoke to three of the girlfriends on the phone and two different B&B managers. But I DID get to Walmart after the massage to pick out some really cute matching fabrics that I will be using on a overnight tote bag for my granddaughter's birthday gift. It will have a little flying angel on it, with her name embroidered across the top. I'll try to get a photo posted when it's done.

Maybe tomorrow will be more productive.....after I get my hair done ..........
