Happy New Year 2009

Happy New Year to all. May you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers.

This weekend we will be displaying our artwork in the Las Olas area of Ft. Lauderdale. We are hoping for a better weekend than last week's. Our prayers are for good weather and good health.

Everyone we have met is either coughing, sneezing or both. I spent early Monday morning (2 am) at the Naples ER. Not sure if it was allergy, cold or whatever....just kept having trouble breathing. They put me for 3 minutes on a broncho-dialator and "bingo" all is well. What a nuisance. It was the first time I got to use my Medicare card. Thanks for that aspect of socialism.

Next month I will receive my first Social Security check. I can't wait after paying in for over 50 years. It is at least some cash flow during this tight economy. My grandson Aaron keeps asking me why I am so excited about this but I feel like I got a Christmas present. It will be a house payment and utilities so who can complain?

Enough about personal stuff, I got a nice sale from Canada last week on my new Yessy.com artsite. This site lists tens of thousands of art items so to get any sale is a miracle. I put some more higher priced art on line and we will see what happens.

We have a new display for our artwork which is to try to minimize our loading and unloading work at the art shows. Hopefully we will still have great sales.. There is an artist from Illinois who has pretty high end art and he had a great show last week...that tells me there are still buyers out there. We hope there are more to come.

I am writing this just to keep up to date on my blog and to add a link to the Yessy.com website.

Have a GREAT GREAT NEW YEAR in 2009!!
