Passing the white glove test.....by Joyce Oroz

Holey moley, the new year is right around the corner—time to toss the tinsel and nix the pine needles. But I’m exhausted from the holiday hoopla. Suppose I don’t feel like cleaning closets right now. Suppose Aunt Clara is coming for a visit. Read on…….here is a little story from a friend that I want to share with you. She says, "I just read about a decorating tip that I thought was brilliant and wanted to pass it on. Go buy yourself some 'Get Well Soon' cards and put them on your mantle or table, so that when people come over and the house isn't Martha Stewart ready they'll see the get-well-cards and it will give you the excuse .... that you haven't been feeling well. A woman after my own heart. Brilliant."
hugs,
AR
Thank you, AR

If you don't live in Aromas, California, you might not know about the Aromas Bridge that has recently been dressed up with 75 colorful fish--all swimming toward town. Each fish is 42 inches long and painted by a volunteer using five vibrant colors of acrylic mural paint. Our volunteer painters were all ages, 10 to 80 years old, with or without painting experience. They carefully designed their fish, and the results are magnificent. Three generations in my family had a good time painting fish. I watched a senior couple paint one fish with their granddaughter.

Now that our river is clean and the steelhead are back--75 colorful fish have joined the fun. This is the ninth mural to be organized and donated by the Aromas Hills Artisans.
