But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”<br />

<br />
Does anyone know if this is being thought of?<br />
<br />
The effect of land subsidence could be even more catastrophic to the CITIES along the coast areas.<br />
For info on what land subsidence is <a href="http://www.sanjacintoriverauthority.com/facts/land-subsidence.html">click here </a>.<br />
<br />
During the last major Ice age the land had raised as the weight of the ice sheets pressed down on the Earth.<br />
As the melting occurred the land also moved and or raised up compensating for the change in weight.<br />
An occurrence now is land susidence at or near land quarries from the water table change.<br />
<br />
I hope there is some thought going into this possibility and if there is a threat I hope people are being alerted to it.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts on this?<br />

Emissions inspection and something strange that's happening with my ignition. I turn the key and nothing happens. It doesn't seem to be the battery so is it the starter?! or ignition wires or what? As with most of us that live in the suburban/rural areas I rely heavily on this car. I will dutifully fix it if it needs it because I cannot operate my business or go to my job without it. So I will wait here until they come to me with their opinions on what needs to be done. Then I will leave, probably broke, and get back to business.<br /><br />Some thoughts have been circulating in my mind relating to 2012 and traumatic experiences and the like. The other night I had a dream that me and Stephanie lived in an apartment building a couple of floors up. We had just woke up and we opened the windows. The view was of a very distant Philadelphia with the morning Sun just breaking the clouds. As we looked we saw a strange object fall from the sky and it fell back behind the city. Then without a moments notice great big clouds of dirt raced into the sky and came at us at a tremendous speed. We tried to close the windows as if that would have helped. The dust and dirt banged against the windows and the wind howled. We huddled in the bed not sure what was going to happen next.<span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><br />After a while we got up and looked outside. The sky was covered completely by the clouds of dust. People in the building were leaving to get away but for some reason we stayed thinking it would all be better soon. We said "They should turn on the electric again in a few weeks. All we have to do is ride it out."<br />So we stayed and collected water from the pipes and after two weeks the situation turned dire. Plenty of water but no food! So we decided to leave. And we didn't get far..... That is the end.<br /><br />If I was really in this situation I always say I will drop everything and drive as far south as I can as if it is some kind of promised land that won't be effected. But the reality is I probably won't be able to do this.<br />So I could struggle here or struggle there. Struggle seems to be the idea either way you look at it.<br />Life's purpose is simply to be life. Live. The real battle is to try to stay alive. At some point most of us will face this challenge and I hope you do well.<br /><br />I began my studies with the Mayan calendar some years back as an astrology tool but I liked to use the contemporary astrology. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc. The Mayan system didn't take hold until I started working with Aluna Joy's book The Mayan Pleiadian Cosmolgy. After a while I adjusted to really like the system. One thing I did notice was a change to my art. My doodles changed. My direction in drawing changed.<br /><br />I personally see the magnitude of what is happening in the Mayan calendar and how the Mayans utilized and related the calendars to certain systems of stars and planets. We can only imagine what might happen at its conclusion.<br />There are some contrary calendar systems that put the end of the calendar in October 2010.<br />Is that too soon for you? Your last day may be today. Your own personal calendar end and judgment day.<br /> The lesson for me has been to see this dream as a time to get my head straight. I am dreaming awake. I can still use the calendars to benefit myself and others and prepare for my day whether that is today, tomorrow or in December 2012.Nic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441705646862065164.post-68868789077472993582009-07-01T19:02:00.003-04:002009-07-03T10:14:41.123-04:00A fuuny thing happened on the way to the forum.Okay so my last post was a bit of a bummer but what great information!<br />Moving on into more glorious things I would love to spill a tale of a dream I recently had.<br />Well ..........(enter dream scape).....<br />I am driving in a city with large buildings all around. I come to a stoplight with other traffic in front of me and behind, and the next thing i realize is that I have been sitting in a sort of daze at this light for way way too long! I come to my senses and hear a strange humming sound , sort of rhythmic<br />(hmmm,hmmm,hmmm,hmmm) I look up just past the intersection and I see this huge somewhat round object floating in a parking lot area. Now I see that not only the humming but also strange lights are coming from this floating object!<br /><br />I am immediatly gripped with fear and realize that this thing has been holding me hypnotized and has frozen the dream of me driving around in a city!( I can't recall what I was doing prior)<br /><br />I get it together leaving the car I was in and advance forward and to the right of this double decker parking lot. The object seemed not to notice too much and kept on humming.. I manuevered to the rear of the flying orbicular object and lost sight of it for a bit but could still hear the humming.<br />I walked up a ramp to get to the second level where it was at and looked at the rear side of it. To my amazement I could see some numbers and writing! English! WTF!! Well this revelation freaked me out and at about this time it started to rotate towards me.<br />I grabed a broom and utilized it to fly really really really high. Too high actually but it seemed to be a safe distance from the object which kind of looked for me but went about its way.<br /><br />The funny thing with flying in dreams utilizing an apparatus is the slight loss of speed control. And before i knew it i was far from this dream and looking down upon another one which looked good!!Nic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441705646862065164.post-88427224056289370472009-06-28T09:33:00.001-04:002009-06-28T09:35:06.047-04:00New Awareness on Cancer lifestyle... please read...<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt><tt>for all of us to<br /><br />consider.....<br /><br />John Hopkins Update -<br /><br /><br />AFTER<br /><br />YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO<br /><br />TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE<br /><br />CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY<br /><br />STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN<br /><br />ALTERNATIVE WAY...<br /><br /><br /><br />Cancer<br /><br />Update from Johns<br /><br />Hopkins :<br /><br /><br /><br />1. Every<br /><br />person has cancer<br /><br />cells in the body. These<br /><br />cancer cells do not show up in the standard<br /><br />tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When<br /><br />doctors tell cancer patients that there are<br /><br />no more cancer<br /><br />cells in their bodies after<br /><br />treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect<br /><br />the cancer cells because they have not reached the<br /><br />detectable size.<br /><br /><br /><br />2.<br /><br />Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a<br /><br />person's lifetime.<br /><br /><br /><br />3<br /><br /> When the person's immune<br /><br />system is strong the cancer cells<br /><br />will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and<br /><br />forming tumors.<br /><br /><br /><br />4.<br /><br />When a person has cancer it indicates the person<br /><br />has multiple nutritional<br /><br />deficiencies. These could be due to<br /><br />genetic, environmental, food and<br /><br />lifestyle factors.<br /><br /><br /><br />5.<br /><br />To overcome the multiple nutritional<br /><br />deficiencies, changing<br /><br />diet and including supplements<br /><br />will strengthen the immune<br /><br />system.<br /><br /><br /><br />6. Chemotherapy involves<br /><br />poisoning the rapidly-growing<br /><br />cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy<br /><br />cells in the bone<br /><br />marrow, gastrointestinal<br /><br />tract etc, and can cause organ damage,<br /><br />like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs<br /><br />etc.<br /><br /><br /><br />7.<br /><br />Radiation while destroying cancer<br /><br />cells also burns,<br /><br />scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and<br /><br />organs.<br /><br /><br /><br />8.<br /><br />Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will<br /><br />often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of<br /><br />chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor<br /><br />destruction.<br /><br /><br /><br />9.<br /><br />When the body has too much toxic burden from<br /><br />chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either<br /><br />compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb<br /><br />to various kinds of infections and<br /><br />complications.<br /><br /><br /><br />10.<br /><br />Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to<br /><br />mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.<br /><br />Surgery can<br /><br />also cause cancer cells to spread<br /><br />to other sites.<br /><br /><br /><br />11.<br /><br />An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the<br /><br />cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs<br /><br />to multiply..<br /><br /><br /><br />*CANCER<br /><br />CELLS FEED<br /><br />ON:<br /><br /><br /><br />a. Sugar is<br /><br />a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one<br /><br />important food supply to the cancer<br /><br />cells. Sugar<br /><br />substitutes like NutraSweet,<br /><br />Equal, Spoonful, etc are made<br /><br />with Aspartame and<br /><br />it is harmful.<br /><br />A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or<br /><br />molasses, but only in very small<br /><br />amounts. Table<br /><br />salt has<br /><br />a chemical added to make it white in color. Better<br /><br />alternative is Bragg's aminos<br /><br />or sea<br /><br />salt.<br /><br /><br /><br />b. Milk causes<br /><br />the body to produce mucus, especially in the<br /><br />gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer<br /><br />feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting<br /><br />with unsweetened soy milk<br /><br />cancer cells are being<br /><br />starved.<br /><br /><br /><br />c.<br /><br />Cancer cells thrive in an acid<br /><br />environment. A<br /><br />meat-based diet is<br /><br />acidic and<br /><br />it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than<br /><br />beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock<br /><br />antibiotics, growth<br /><br />hormones and parasites, which<br /><br />are all harmful, especially to people with<br /><br />cancer.<br /><br /><br /><br />d.<br /><br />A diet made<br /><br />of 80% fresh<br /><br />vegetables and juice, whole<br /><br />grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put<br /><br />the body into an alkaline<br /><br />environment. About 20% can be from cooked food<br /><br />including beans. Fresh vegetable<br /><br />juices provide live enzymes<br /><br />that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular<br /><br />levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth<br /><br />of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building<br /><br />healthy cells try and<br /><br />drink fresh vegetable<br /><br />juice (most vegetables<br /><br />including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or<br /><br />3 times a day. Enzymes are<br /><br />destroyed at temperatures of 104<br /><br />degrees F (40 degrees<br /><br />C).<br /><br /><br /><br />e.<br /><br />Avoid coffee, tea, and<br /><br />chocolate, which have high<br /><br />caffeine. Green<br /><br />tea is<br /><br />a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties.<br /><br />Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to<br /><br />avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap<br /><br />water. Distilled<br /><br />water is acidic, avoid<br /><br />it.<br /><br /><br /><br />12.. Meat<br /><br />protein is difficult to digest and<br /><br />requires a lot of digestive<br /><br />enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the<br /><br />intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic<br /><br />buildup.<br /><br /><br /><br />13. Cancer<br /><br />cell walls have a tough protein<br /><br />covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it<br /><br />frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer<br /><br />cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the<br /><br />cancer cells.<br /><br /><br /><br />14. Some<br /><br />supplements build up the immune<br /><br />system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants,<br /><br />vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own<br /><br />killer cells to destroy cancer<br /><br />cells.. Other supplements like<br /><br />vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis,<br /><br />or programmed cell death,<br /><br />the body's normal method of disposing of damaged,<br /><br />unwanted, or unneeded<br /><br />cells.<br /><br /><br /><br />15.<br /><br />Cancer is a disease of the mind,<br /><br />body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit<br /><br />will help the cancer warrior be a<br /><br />survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and<br /><br />bitterness put the body into a<br /><br />stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving<br /><br />and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy<br /><br />life.<br /><br /><br /><br />16.<br /><br />Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated<br /><br />environment. Exercising daily,<br /><br />and deep<br /><br />breathing help to get more oxygen<br /><br />down to the cellular<br /><br />level. Oxygen<br /><br />therapy is another means<br /><br />employed to destroy cancer<br /><br />cells.<br /><br /><br /><br />1. No plastic<br /><br />containers in<br /><br />micro.<br /><br /><br /><br />2. No<br /><br />water bottles in<br /><br />freezer.<br /><br /><br /><br />3. No<br /><br />plastic wrap in<br /><br />microwave.<br /><br /><br /><br />Johns<br /><br />Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.<br /><br />This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army<br /><br />Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer,<br /><br />especially breast cancer.<br /><br />Dioxins are highly<br /><br />poisonous to the cells of our<br /><br />bodies. Don't freeze your plastic<br /><br />bottles with water in them as this<br /><br />releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward<br /><br />Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le Hospital,<br /><br />was on a TV program to explain<br /><br />this health hazard. He<br /><br />talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He<br /><br />said that we should not be heating our food in the<br /><br />microwave using plastic containers. This especially<br /><br />applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the<br /><br />combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases<br /><br />dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of<br /><br />the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as<br /><br />Corning<br /><br />Ware, Pyrex or<br /><br />ceramic containers for heating food You get the same<br /><br />results, only without the dioxin. So such things<br /><br />as TV dinners, instant<br /><br />ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the<br /><br />container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad<br /><br />but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer<br /><br />to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us<br /><br />that a while ago some of<br /><br />the fast food<br /><br />restaurants moved away from the<br /><br />foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of<br /><br />the<br /><br />reasons.<br /><br /><br /><br />Also,<br /><br />he pointed out that plastic wrap,<br /><br />such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over<br /><br />foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is<br /><br />nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually<br /><br />melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.<br /><br />Cover food with a paper towel<br /><br />instead.<br /><br /><br />This<br /><br />is an article that should be sent to anyone important in<br /><br />your life.<br /><br /><br /><br />Remember<br /><br />The Golden Rule In Your<br /><br />Life.</tt></tt></pre>Nic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441705646862065164.post-85541434789202688582009-06-09T17:33:00.003-04:002009-06-09T17:39:08.650-04:00Come in Summer Sun!I love this time of year, or I just love this weather..

And I have been looking for Sterling Silver Spoons to make jewelry with. My initial checks online came up with no good deals on plain ole Spoons but today I scored at an antique show and picked up several forks soons and 2 salt spoons.. This evening I have been hammering away on my new interest in Hammered Silver earrings which I still need some practice with. Soon I hope to add some Spoon rings to the collection.. I do sell jewelry already but am delighted with the prospects of actually making some quality Silver Jewelry of my own... Although I won't be putting these designs on the website I can always send pics via email so you can see the new fun stuff!! for reference my website is: http://www.temolal.com .. <br />After the hunting we went out for a 90 minute hike at the local State park... Oh such a beautiful day filled with Buttercup flowers, streams, birds, and lots of Sun ;)<br />ta ta ....Nic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441705646862065164.post-56816623959913137002009-03-18T14:26:00.003-04:002009-04-14T15:43:52.777-04:00today is the day<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBzsTk37gigit_h7_pDcO39FlFzdZAyBal9CzO1dwgqmT5OvAvkvJiRk9NnjmpVNkmMJ4vODS9irOzx2kSahFACls3hC4kC94BI4I5pRyH7c4s25yB9IKttIe9Cxsc_5s_VNCeZzYJKN8/s1600-h/0318091427-721554.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBzsTk37gigit_h7_pDcO39FlFzdZAyBal9CzO1dwgqmT5OvAvkvJiRk9NnjmpVNkmMJ4vODS9irOzx2kSahFACls3hC4kC94BI4I5pRyH7c4s25yB9IKttIe9Cxsc_5s_VNCeZzYJKN8/s320/0318091427-721554.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314596491417411218" border="0" /></a></p>Today's look!!<br />And on goes the day upon day upon day.<br />Work with passion seems to need no end and brings excitement to the morning.<br />It also makes traffic seem non existent which makes me happy.<br />I have been terribly busy working at the cafe then selling jewelry at schools while keeping my schedule moving and organized. Now I'm not really organized, unless messy counts, and I know its a bit of a fault. So far I haven't lost any bills or misplaced anything to important to screw up my life. Which brings me to life. I am loving it !! things have been good, really good. And despite the fact that I have been busy , I have started a promotion business. Is this a mistake in 2009? during a weird time in the economy?

It seems I've been only able to check mail and write quick blips here and there.. The christmas season is finally over and now I look to schedule the shows for the upcoming year. On the plate this year:<br />A variety of School shows , a new age festival or 2 in early spring? , Some kinda Jam festival in April , Blues fest in Jax bch , Some beer tastings perhaps ..<br />I invite anyone interested in events to go to : http://temolal.webs.com<br />on the calendar of events page :)<br />Today I'm gearing up to work in the garden a bit which entails raking ,leveling, adding a trim or border, mulching and doing some repotting of some plants that are in need.Nic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441705646862065164.post-30771690453053763072008-12-31T10:56:00.001-05:002008-12-31T10:58:10.639-05:00A cool breezeWith bright hopes I look towards the Sun.<br />My body the cradle rocks to and fro.<br />As an onion just pealed and exposed to the air,<br />My mind is exposed like a grassy field.<br />Surrounded by dense trees at the horizon.<br />The grass blows to the invisible power of an unseen force.<br />A cool breeze blowing change.<br />I question and show my fear and uncertainty.<br />No matter how many times I visit I find the same stage.<br />There is no way around it.<br />The fear must be embodied.<br />The field explored.<br />What lies beyond those trees on the edge of my mind?Nic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441705646862065164.post-40314668143431908662008-12-03T12:10:00.004-05:002008-12-03T12:13:37.454-05:00I am a tree...My spine is stretched up to the sky.

The flurry of activity as if to stay warm.. Holiday season is here and I am as busy as ever.. Not that I'm making tremendous amounts of money or anything just the flurry of commotion in life seems to have increased.. My website is up and running but needs some tweeks and I recon advertising too.... The cafe experience is becoming more of an overwhelming and time/enrgy consumer..... I look towards a slower season. And I know<br />I was looking forward to this busy time when it was slow. So now I see the grass as greener as it always is.haha<br /><br />"In the presence of water the fool is thirsty"<br />In a crowd I like to sit on the outside to observe the subtle reactions of the people consumed by the activity of the center..

I only have today off to do it before the inspection is up and so I got to see yet another Sunrise on my way out to the world.. The internet reception is spotty at best here, and because I was late getting here today I REALLY get to waste a whole day here.... So much for a day off... Tomorrow I drive 2 hours to set up at the University of Delaware.. Then working till next weekend. I think I'll take a little break after that to recuperate. CHEERS!!!<br />P.S. No this is not the most uplifting post but it does reflect the weather for the day; Cloudy with a little Sunshine possible flurries later in the EveNic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441705646862065164.post-43354660021076541142008-10-27T10:16:00.005-04:002008-10-27T11:20:30.796-04:00So long to be away but such a short time to be thereSo here I am again. Watching the slow march of the winter grey clouds overtake the crisp blue morning sky.

No money, no home, not many clothes, just not much "stuff".. I was young and in love with someone I thought would be the"one". Now I look back and say"..those were good times.."<br />Except that while in those situations, I was worried and struggled and hoped and feared. Not too much different from now. I settled in Colorado Springs and said that I would never go East again. I got a job working as an appointment setter. Phone work. And I was good! I was management within 6 months and running the office in another 6mo.<br />Prior to that I made money on the road by making and selling beaded jewelry. Or the occasional day labor. I worked all around the country in so many different jobs it boggles my mind. So all was good in Colo sprgs. Good job great relationship and my needs met. Then changes happened and the story changed. I lost the girl quit the job and moved to PA. Sure I got a new job and love found its way into my life. That is the pattern for me. Once I learned of the pattern, I set out to change it.<br /><br />So I got busy with the business and began traveling again but now with a way to make a living while doing it! This is what I've been doing since 2000. Moving around and working.. So this got boring and tiring. So now I'm in PA again and in 2005 decided to get involved with the Silver Jewelry angle of business. A little more stress and alot more invested. In 2006 the price of gold and silver rose, dramatically! Then followed the gas prices. So my cost to buy the silver and my cost to drive around to everywhere started to eat into my profit. S*** hit the fan in 2007 with record high silver and gas prices, again in 2008! Well I figured that was probably the end to my new business venture, I settled into PA and figured I'd ride it out with a blah job at a coffee shop and sell on the side...<br /> So everyone starts freaking out about the gas prices and how high they are and all this. So the market crashes. The price of gas goes down and Silver plummets. I can buy goods and drive around and as the market stabalizes I seem to have a few more glory days in me.<br />Whats next? Oh wait I shouldn't have asked that....Nic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441705646862065164.post-66204658010168645822008-10-18T21:35:00.004-04:002008-10-18T21:49:58.697-04:00California 08 Wine tasting part 1I'm back from California and involved in a solid 12 days of work without a break....<br /><br />A little recap on the adventures in California.<br /><br />The flight was very smooth and uneventful:)<br /><br />Upon arriving in Sacramento around 830PST(1130EST) Stephanie and I drove up to Roseville to my moms and after a few hours of catching up promptly fell asleep.<br />The next day we went looking for some good wine and found a lovely winery called Mt Vernon. right inside Auburn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOfxnzrT7k00DoX9QtdK1YnaBOftZi0Si4vZTRSNzI36PTw77nLCO-34AHsBjcjGzotThVSBSzz9lEJ7KXEprAAXrppoeVntWvDOzRHLF7vkU8fad2OWhEKhCSV-P47CJLy2TqYW5u0B8/s1600-h/mtvernon2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOfxnzrT7k00DoX9QtdK1YnaBOftZi0Si4vZTRSNzI36PTw77nLCO-34AHsBjcjGzotThVSBSzz9lEJ7KXEprAAXrppoeVntWvDOzRHLF7vkU8fad2OWhEKhCSV-P47CJLy2TqYW5u0B8/s200/mtvernon2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258674373479937362" border="0" /></a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />They liberally poured their many wines and we shipped a few back home to enjoy later...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHm6IFNxt9m8urtW7NA-VY09uF80HgJ4PqwRY_33Yxxfec3V_9vscYMehVnwJ34cc52rwYONV5zB4QQZaX-p2FtCK0eRhFBvsbkc-WVKosyNSk9e4HFssth4dvDvbxPqUlNUPEpNj3cDg/s1600-h/mtvernon.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHm6IFNxt9m8urtW7NA-VY09uF80HgJ4PqwRY_33Yxxfec3V_9vscYMehVnwJ34cc52rwYONV5zB4QQZaX-p2FtCK0eRhFBvsbkc-WVKosyNSk9e4HFssth4dvDvbxPqUlNUPEpNj3cDg/s200/mtvernon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258674359151987938" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaK0jMM1Czkv64XAY_ZC8NYzTZl0jHLWXuCqUlISTjCgcKjebWI8KiA9uEdSydjp-8koZ70LHJZKDEpgnCsJwSdUcP0BrXmqBXMZubHp7fDXYLf0XCROTShZWTRW3lxa_O0a7bb7QSyiE/s1600-h/mtvernon1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaK0jMM1Czkv64XAY_ZC8NYzTZl0jHLWXuCqUlISTjCgcKjebWI8KiA9uEdSydjp-8koZ70LHJZKDEpgnCsJwSdUcP0BrXmqBXMZubHp7fDXYLf0XCROTShZWTRW3lxa_O0a7bb7QSyiE/s200/mtvernon1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258674365230105826" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Now we were a bit slippery and thought "..hey lets find another.." Not the best idea. Luckily it was a co op tasting room in Audurn and the woman there was so liberal with the wine she didn't even use a measured pour! So that was as far as we could go on the first run, 2 spots and a slightly tipsy memory.

I've been busy as probab;ly all my last posts say.. Business is good despite all this talk of recession and stocks. I'm sure my plans to open a store are on hold due to the unreliable nature of the stockmarket. Or its just another excuse of mine not to settle into a storefront(something I've wrestled with a bit).

So its been a busy week already and I'm really only half of the way through it. Today I set up my booth and tables at the show (and hope it doesn't blow away) and tomorrow EARLY get set up and work into the night. Sunday is a repeat of Saturday. Then off to the Cafe Mon-wed and on thursday catch a flight to California! What fun!<br /><br />The last 2 shows were great and its looking good for the rest of the season.. I just received a huge package of Amber jewelry to sort through so I'm off to work sort of.<br /> :) Hope all is as a new day with the Sun in thine eye as a morning on a cold crisp winter day..Nic Scognahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117542851806054188noreply@blogger.com2
