invisibility

So last Friday we all made the long haul out to Quarryville. Who knew, how far…yet so peaceful Quarryville was?
It was a terrific time, friends, family and even a kitty cat. Amazing food & wine all to be enjoyed on one of the finer decks I’ve ever sat upon. There were even distant sounds of horse drawn buggies clopping by if you took the time to “listen”. Again we all had amazing ideas from every different ray of the creativity spectrum. Thanks everyone for keeping things fun, fresh…and also participating. Have a fantastic august and see you all in September. Keep in mind our 1 year anniversary is coming up (October); start dreaming up some creative ideas for our first birthday!
Here are our projects for “invisible”

I guess that love has lost it’s way
Another relationship tossed away
I try to touch it, make it stay
But in my heart it moves astray
I cry and cry, just like a child
And then I feel my eyes go wild
A creative energy bursts from within
Helps soothe my heart, make it whole again
A splash of paint and a dab of glue
Working hard enough I’m sure to fix you
Invisible love I cannot find
Invisible love won’t you be mine
Invisible love don’t go away
Invisible love wish you would stay
I’ll set a trap, discover where you reside Follow my map, only to find inside
Invisible love you’ve been there all along It sure is nice sometimes to be wrong.
















"coon’s camo cape"
i wear a cape that you can not see
not by glimpse or glance
sad that you really stand no chance
my ears might confine it
and my tail may be behind it
but sorry to say you can not see
not too loose, not too tight
it really is the perfect fit
not to mention exceptionally knit
it sparkles at night
and gleams all day
when i sit and each time a stay
it flaps
and it flops
i may even love it more than pork chops
it does make me super
it does make me cool
and yes...i do use it to wipe my drool
it guides us
and hides us
mainly from harms way
meek and modest
it can even derail pain
cover and protect us if it were to rain
helps us smile when we’re dejected
makes us laugh when sad
breathe deep and lets us be glad
i feel bad you can NOT see it
for its quite unreal
if only it would help me learn to heel

i wear a camo cape
not only for me
i wear an invisible cape only my mom can see.

what it is


its...invisible!
hey there cats and kittens. our next art nite will be held on August 1st. yes yes its in only a couple weeks. i'm not going to make excuses.
be there if ya care!
Date: Friday August 1st
Time: 7:00ish
Location: 414 Buck Road, Quarryville, PA 17566

here's the skinny...
From York: Take Rt 74 South down to Rt 372; go left on Rt 372 ( there is a sign there that says Quarryville 14 miles) You will cross the Susquehanna over the Holtville Dam bridge ( really cool bridge; great view!) Take this to Quarryville. You will cross over Rt 272 at 'The Buck' at a traffic light, pass a small shopping mall with Musser's grocery store in it, that way you know you are getting close. Continue to follow Rt 372 ( it gets quite curvy along this stretch so be careful, especially if you have never been here before) You will come down a slight hill out of a group of trees to a very sharp turn ( 90˚) to the left and then make another sharp turn (90˚) to the right, this means you are very close. You will pass a Lapps Restaurant on your left; house is the second house after that on the left. It is a red brick and white siding ranch house with black shutters.

Lets figure out the parking when we get there...we're spontaneous like that.
see you all there...its a bit of a hike so carpooling is preferred. contact me for more info.
thanks everyone
be good!

i felt it necessary to pay a bit of homage to the delish food we had there.






O sweet cheeri O
How I love thee
Let me count the ways
For breakfastAs a snack
Even as dessert
Swimming in milk
With fruit
Covered in chocolate
O sweet cheeri O
How I love thee
