Life and Pottery...Pretty much a 'Crap-shoot'

Just taking a moment between the chores of getting a birthday party going...to ramble about how I feel that life seems to be such a 'crap-shoot.'

You just never know what the day is going to bring.  I got up yesterday to go help my youngest daughter pick and preserve some pears.  I had no idea that I would have to sprout muscles to get this heavy ladder on the roof of my car all by myself.  Guess what ... I did it just fine. I guess I am stronger and smarter than I think I am.

Friday is usually a marathon pottery day for me but I chose to spend some time doing this pear thing with my daughter and for my husband.  It took most of the day but was so satisfying.  I enjoyed my girl's company. And I enjoyed my sweet grandchildren.

When I got to the studio I found all of the pottery that had been in the gas kiln had been over-fired for a bisque.  It was all positively toasty.  I was so sad.  I feel a little frustrated that all that work (not just mine) is compromised.  It happens to the best of us I guess.  We end up having to punt and seriously pray for a good outcome in the end.

Life and pottery...yep...pretty much a 'crap-shoot.'  We just have to make the best of it.  One day at a time.
