YEAHBoyHowdy!

Whoooooweeeee!

YEAHboyhowdeeeee!

Don't know why, but I just felt like saying it! It might be a Spring Thing. It might be a Monday Survivor thing.

We have a working kiln again!  That's worth several YEAHboyHowdeeeeeees! 

First load fired last night. It came out in great shape late this afternoon.  This is either Shadrack or Meshack, the two identical kilns in the firing room of the studio. I'm not sure which one is working again; it does not matter as long as Gordon got one of them going.

We still have one kiln in Intensive Kiln Care.  It is expected to live. 

Had a productive morning making porcelain.  More church ornaments headed into the kiln tonight for St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Brusly, Louisiana, folks!

This afternoon, some porcelain rope and porcelain tassels on a porcelain flag are giving me fits. You'll get to see this special commission soon.

The photo: What used to be Wray's Country Store in the Alva Community near Duck Hill in Montgomery County, Mississippi.

You can't tell by this picture, but folks would drive up from Jackson to eat catfish at this place! It was one of those fabulous way-out-of-the-way places that we humans love to find and then brag to our friends that we drove ___ miles to eat and then brag about how good the _____ was!

Goodness, I am hungry for Wray's catfish and all the trimmings (cole slaw, hush puppies, french fries and cobbler!)  Definitely a WHooooooooweeeeeeeee meal!
