PENULIMATE EXPOSURE!
WINDING DOWN or WEARING OUT!



RH Practicing for The Paradise Jazzband on his B-Flat Walking Cane
for aging trumpet players! Full of HOT AIR as usual!

I have some bad news for the regular readers of my blog. I have again been advised to quit by my doctors, to conserve energy and eliminate further health problems. I have found it increasingly difficult do do the postings for a number or reasons, loss of memory for one and diminishing hand skills for another. I will post my final blog in early November. 

 It will primarily be photographic,  showing the colors and textures of fall in our garden at 'Chosin Pottery, just outside Victoria, B.C. Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island in the Pacific Northwest.

 It will be posting #114.  
 Thanks for looking and listening. 
 Best wishes to you all. Sincerely, Robin.

    Hi Robin,
    So sorry to hear. Best to follow the doctors orders and take care of yourself. I'll be looking forward to the fall photos of your garden. Thanks for all you've shared. Keeping you in my prayers,
    Rudy

    You won't be forgotten. Blogs that you've posted in the past are still going to be here (maybe forever?) May your life continue to be full of beauty, joy and comfort.

    Through this blog I found the name of Susy Siegele & Michael Haley and a similar cup as shown on the page. I was amazed that I had bought a pot by them without knowing of them. North Carolina, has a lot of pot makers of quality. Enjoyed reading the blog here in Oak Park, IL.
