I apologize for my longest absence yet from posting since I began this "web log." You know, it's nice outside and friends are always visiting and there's so much good food to cook and share.

Today I spent 2 hours at the Rhode Island State House (our capitol building) attending a meeting of the House Finance Committee as people testified against Governor Carcieri's proposal to cut RISCA's budget by an unthinkable and potentially disastrous fifty percent! The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts is the same organization that awarded me the Fellowship of Craft so I will forever be thankful, and eager to defend them!
