Sometimes, life comes at you sideways. Not forward, not backward but sideways. I spent a couple of days trying to turn things around. This morning, I realized that I lacked the ability to make certain changes, help was unavailable, so I just had to accept them as they were. I'm just grateful I let it go relatively soon. Progress, not perfection...
Mirroring my life at present are the images I attempted to upload in this blog. When I open my files, they are right side up. However, when I import them in the blog, they turn sideways. I have decided to just let them be what they are. Here's trick I learned from my friend Theresa Martin; If the computer is not cooperating by rotating the images, rotate your computer. Hey just pick up your lap top or monitor and turn that puppy sideways! This girl doesn't just think outside the box, she has no box!
So what follows is the month in pictures. Because right now, I'm having trouble with the words. And though the pictures may be sideways, they are at least here!
Just a couple of the pieces I did for The Inn at Tres Pinos. I'll save the rest for when I finish the project. It's worth a blog or two on it's own. Camera shy: Mike Howard...

Dwight, Bob and Me at San Juan Oaks Golf Club. Bob's been patiently working with me and Dwight. Thanks Bob for being a great and kind teacher! I'll admit I'm addicted to golf. You know golf's taking over when you find tees in every room of the house and the only TV I watch is related to golf. I spend the equivalent of my lunch hour hitting balls. Lately, golf shows have trumped the decorating shows. (Ask Dwight, that's huge!) Golf's gonna have to be a future blog.
A scene from Theresa Martin's Harvest Party. Here's Alex Kiner and me making carpaccio from buffalo. Alex is amazing! He went out to Theresa garden, picked all the fresh ingredients and put together a fabulous dish. I had fun helping him make it look pretty.
This is the chair decorated for the Hollister Downtown Association 20th Anniversary Party. The chair was auctioned off and the proceeds were split between the HDA and the Culinary and Hospitality Foundation of San Benito County. Thanks to Sheila Stevens of She's for her generous contribution to both groups. Sheila you rock!
Well I ran out of time. I'll see you next time!Labels: Culinary, Foundation, Golf, Hollister Downtown Association, Hopsitality, Shannon Grissom
