Studio is tour ready

I'm pretty well ready for the TRAC tour which begins at noon Friday - 100 artists studios in Mitchell and Yancy Counties in Western North Carolina will be open through the weekend. The hours will be noon to 4pm Friday and 1- to 6pm Saturday and Sunday.

Today with my helper Betty, we got studio floors, buckets and tables cleaned. I got the wrapping and hospitality tables ready, and the studio display area is all set up. Tomorrow I'll do just spend time doing some re-organizing of small things and Jim will, as always, take care of the separate gallery, which just needs a quick dusting and vacuuming.

We got the tiniest bit of rain mid afternoon - not enough to do much; but it looks like the neighboring towns of Spruce Pine and Burnsville got quite a bit more.

Well, my potatoes are grated and drained, time to mix up the rest of the ingredients for tonight's potato pancakes. We're planning a relaxed evening with a Netflix PD James mystery. Life is good!
