Hello Blog Family,
Well, as you know, my art show and sale was last Saturday. It turned out ok, about
19 people showed up, it was a first-time success and great networking with people in the AZ area. It's so diverse here, reminds me a little of NY but less stressful, of course. Although, I didn't have much sales I had a great time with my guests who got to eat and dance to Haitian and Salsa music, lol. They polished the floor all night until 11pm.
I had a friend of the family make the yummy lemon cake, he said it took him 4 days to prepare and he refused to give me the recipe, it was sooooooooooo delish and huge, lol. I put the rest in the freezer. As for food, I had appetizers from fried griyo which is fried pork, turkey meatballs, fried plantains, salad, chips and nachos. 
I had 2 art tables, everything looked really nice. Didn't get a chance to take any extra pictures, was too busy entertaining. I plan to have another show in the spring...
LYRICAL BULLETS
Sorry but I can’t
Don’t make me choose…
Cause I won’t
Thanks to those lyrics I’m able to take away the bad feelings
Why carry such negativity like a cadaverous face ravaged and brittle by osteoporosis?
Without lyrics you’ll leave my hips broken
My brain will shrivel
Even my walk will look funny
I’ll be the only one pigeon-toed with an overflowing beltline
No mental or intellectual lines
artless I will be
A murderous death, my suicide
With my lyrics I’m the painter
the philosopher, a rhythmic thinker
You can’t carry my cross
Its all mine, it’s in me
The day those lyrics touched me
I was rattled and survived
I will say it again I won’t choose
Without it I will die

Wished I could have been there to help support. I do have to admit that cake looks VERY tempting.
Looking forward to the poetry contest.
Cake looks good, but your artwork even better. Glad your event was a success in lots of ways even if it didn't ring the cash register as much as you had hoped. Hang in there, GF - you have TALENT and it WILL OUT!
Cathy, the art looks wonderful. Tell me that the guitar lady is not sold.
How I would have loved to have been at your show - the art looks gorgeous and I'm sure the food was spectacular. As for the contest, not sure I'm up to writing a poem quite yet - am still battling the flu; got antibiotics today, so maybe by the time your deadline hits, I'll have thought of an entry. Happy holidays to you and yours! Guess you'll see lots of beautiful farolitos around the town.
Hi Cathy,
Lot happening here...and in the process...I will choose to be a keen onlooker..
I love your art and the cake looks very tempting..
wishes,
devika

Greetings! First time here and glad I made the journey. That cake is to die for. Much success!!!
Thanks for passing bye, iv been around just more into reading african literature cos i kinda feel alienated from writing at the moment. I think you should check the 2nd line of your poem
"Don’t make me chose"
maybe i don't get the context in which it appears.
Wish you a Merry Christmas, Cathy
