summer reading

The middle of summer quickly approaches

with many long, hot days to follow.

Here are  a few of the books I have set aside to read.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did, but people will never forget

how you made them feel."

-Maya Angelou

A great voice is now silent.

My new cereal bowl is filled with warm feelings

for the friend who shares its sister.

Sorry I've been away so long, my job consumed my life

for the last month but now I'm ready to take back control

and make time for myself again.

Today was the Spring Open House at Toshiko Takaezu's

studio in Quakertown, New Jersey.

My two favorite Jenn's and I loaded up the car 

and headed out on a adventure.

The studio was full of beautiful pottery and interesting people

and we came home with more than our share of mugs and bowls.

A wonderful day spent with dear friends.

Hope everyone is well, I've missed being here.
