 Good friend Carole texted me Sunday morning to let me know ice skating was on NBC. I had to reply that I missed it because I was so slow getting up that morning,. I was glad to have an extra hour though. I  had delegated Sunday to study my pile of voting materials and complete my ballot. All necessary but not a fun Sunday activity. To reward my effort, I planned to go get a Krispy Kreme donut at Staters. I drank a full can of V-8 juice to balance the sugars I planned to ingest!

I haven'y yet reset my clocks in the house and car, for now I enjoy looking at the time then remembering I have an extra hour. But by Monday I will be responsible and tackle the resets. My 17 year old Honda requires a manual reset, and I usually figure it out, but then I have six months to forget again? It is not at the to of my mental task list, and since my sweet little brain has to juggle a lot of names, dates etc, it tries but doesn't always come through on demand? I am learning  to be patient, but I do get excited when I reach for a name etc and it comes forth quickly?

Small victories?

Artist: Emmy Lou Packard

In the late 1930s Emmy Lou Packard studied under Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Mexico, working as their studio assistant. In 1940 Packard went to San Francisco, CA with them to assist with Rivera’s “Pan American Unity” mural at the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island. In the 1940s and 1950s Packard worked in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1960 she and her husband, fellow artist Byron Randall, relocated to Mendocino, CA. Her legacy includes not only her art, but also her environmentalism, as she helped protect the Mendocino Headlands, now a state park. Packard passed away in San Francisco on February 22, 1998 at age 84. Enjoyed seeing several of her works yesterday at the John Natsoulas Gallery in Davis, CA. Among them is this undated linoleum cut print, “Strawberry Pickers Near Pajaro.”
