We are a bout to start

Hey this is Bill.....ground control are you out there,,, I am so full of trust for these here machines. Anyway......we did make it to the Youth Intervention Center today to unload the loads of supplies that we have been given.
You know how it is; when Roberta first started talking to me about coming up here it was pretty much that yadayadayada yada thing....or maybe more like the Charlie Brown school teacher voice. Never did I really think that I would have to be here . I guess that I forget that Roberta is not just another idle talker. So be careful what you wish for. Truly, I am excited about this work with the kids that are in this facility. Everyone has been so wonderful and encouraging. Thanks Bryan and all that are helping and all that have given us supplies.
It has been a busy time. Friday at the gallery walk was fun and tiring. So many folks. I met three young people who had given up their spring breaks for coming to Ocean Springs to help with the Katrina recovery. One , a new gallery gal here, came down three times. Thanks Cassi. Mathew is an artist that is in the show at Red Raven with me and his "friend" Lauren will be volunteering to help with the Artsmart program with us. It makes you feel like you should behave better every where you go....there is always a connection.
It certainly has been more than just a busy time though. It has been a lot of fun. Roberta and Howard do not let me get far from a meal.....what is it guys, are we up to five a day. On Saturday, I knocked around with Pixie (sometimes known as Dixie) and ended that day with great food and beverages; but more importantly with so much laughter that I hurt. these smart people can tell a good story...especially when you consider that they are mostly Yankee. Of course you throw in Carol's deep south roots and a dog and a skunk...(.except or not involving a bride)....you just cannot miss. Clint from next door threw in his special finesse with the cooking while his special lady Jessica ' splained just how lucky....how very lucky she is...pretty much all the way home! I am really having a good time. Later.....Bill
