After ‘the goddesses’ left Mr. Basketmaker’s workshop, I started to come down with the flu. Which I had all week. And now, it’s reduced to an annoying cold…
That’s me sitting in front of my computer… sneezing and sniffling away.
Why am I at my desk rather than recuperating in bed? Because it’s Draft Night for our Sixth Annual Brady Gaga Fantasy Football League. And Mr. Basketmaker, who is the commissioner, said there was no way I was missing it. Since I’m up doing a fantasy football draft, then I could drum up this quick post…
Remember the cute mermaid sketch I showed you a couple weeks ago that I created on our large chalk board welcoming the latest arrival of students? (If you missed it, click here.)
Now fast forward six days… on the evening of the last day of that last workshop… he erased the entire board. Even the little sketches I made for my nephew. He Wiped it clean and put this up…
Since it’s only me and him here, I guess he did this in case I forgot. (really?)
I told him his “a” looks like “o” so it reads Brady GoGo to me instead of GaGa… just sayin’. He disagreed.
Hi Lynne! How are you feeling now? Hoping your cold is just a distant memory. You and Eric enjoy your beautiful fall and all the colors! TN is soooo pretty in the fall.
Hey Eric,
I recently discovered that I have the exact same basket pictured on the cover of ” A Measure of the Earth: The Cole-Ware Collection of American Baskets”
I bought it years ago at a gift shop in Illinois.
It was made by Richard Krupa – wonder if it is the same basket maker?
Hi Dorothea: I will let Eric know. And yes, the photo is Richard Krupa’s “Old Fashioned Egg Basket.” Lucky you to have one of his baskets since I don’t believe he has made any baskets for the last ten years. If you can, send me a photo of the basket. I would love to post it next to the Cole-Ware book! That would be cool.
Gargle with some good Tennessee whiskey. That should cake care of that cold! Least you,will sleep good. 😜
I don’t think I have any whiskey. We do have some Tennessee Moonshine (legal stuff). Will that work?
