Pillow Talk! or Stephen K. Morris!

Today has been another great one. This morning Jim & Daneshu came out to see us and we had a total blast visiting with them, because they are our kind of people. If we weren't talking non-stop we were laughing. So yes, my back is still a little sore, but I am sure that it will be fine sooner than later.

At one point during our visit Kinky called me, "Nance, do y'all have a couple of spare AA batteries?"

Yes, we do. Why?"

"Because my remote control is dead..." After I told him about Daneshu & Jim being here, he invited us to come over for a visit. And his last words, on the phone, were, "And don't forget to bring the batteries."

Minutes later, Kinky and The Friedmans came out, of the Lodge, to greet us as we climbed out of their Suburban. Then we had a fun visit with Kinky, out on his back porch. And before we left he signed a book for them. Then we came back over here and visited some more.

Late this afternoon, I started packing some more stuff for my upcoming road trip, with Chet, to The Land of Enchantment. Then I took a picture of today's last stuff that I took outside, excluding my pillow and guitar, so I can temporarily store everything, inside Buttermilk, until we transfer all of it tomorrow, to the Explorer that I have rented for the trip.

That adorable pillowcase that you see in the picture was recently made and given to us, along with another matching pillowcase, by our our new friend Julia Balinsky. We met Julia and her husband, Andy, when our dear friend Ellen brought them out here, while the Kerrville Folk Festival was going on, because Ellen wanted to show them the rescue ranch and to do a little birdwatching, in The Okay Corral. 

Anyway, I love the pillowcases, because they are just way too cute. The fabrics that Julia chose, have all of these happy dogs wearing different kinds of boots, shoes and slippers, filled with bones, sticks, balls, frisbees, toys, etc. I also love the red and black polka dot ribbon and the colorful paw prints. And I can't wait to show the pillowcase to Cindy, because I know that she'll love it, too.

For several years Andy & his super talented, fiber artist wife, have rented a booth, at the Kerrville Folk Festival, where they sell her one of a kind, handmade, 100% Cotton pillowcases and the name of their store is Sleep On It. 

In fact, that night when I went to see David Crosby and gave away Tony's blue, fishing chair, is where I spotted Ellen and June hanging out at and the Sleep On It booth was swamped with paying customers. So if you want to buy some great, one-of-a-kind pillowcases, you can go to the folk festival next year or visit her website: www.balinsky.com.  

Once again, our dear friend Donna Gable Hatch has written another fabulous article, in todays Kerrville Daily Times, about another one of our great friends, singer-songwriter, musician Stephen K. Morris! And tomorrow, you should be able to Google her great story, in The Kerrville Daily Times to read about Stephen.

And that's about it for tonight, because I plan to play my guitar for a little while, pack some more stuff and then sleep on it, because tomorrow is going to be a very busy day for me.

P.S. If I have time, etc. I will try to post some pictures while I am visiting Cindy, in New Mexico and I will be back, at the ranch, Wednesday evening. And back to blogging on Thursday.

Y'all have a great evening!
