How’s she hangin?
The Masked
Orange came for a visit yesterday bearing gifts of what else but big oranges.
We talked about people going off on each other for saying Merry Christmas or
the flip side was saying Happy Holidays instead of saying Merry Christmas. My
friend Helga just wrote me Feliz Navidad. I remember Jose Felicano singing that
song but what was clearer in my memory was the line- from the bottom of my
heart!”
Around here
in rural Ontario there are many greetings that are meant to be welcoming, warm
fuzzies, ice breakers or just statements that are meant to be personal. If the
intention is that the person is wishing you a great day just take it that way.
Thanks Bud,
Hey Chief, Buddy, Gidday, Yo dude, How’s she hangin’?
Here in
Canada December 25 is a festive day and mostly a day of celebration. It is a day where we take time to be grateful
for our loved ones and friends. We try our level best to be together as a
family. Let it go at that! If someone
says Merry Christmas, or How’s she hangin’? -just return whatever you feel says
peace and love back atcha. We are all family.
Here are some pots outta the last firing of
2016. Some libation cups and BBQ plates for Alabama. I know I am visiting the
land of bourbon and BBQ. Sweet home
Alabama. I look forward to hangin’ with y’all, eh

Anyone who has ever been completely, tongue out the side of their mouths, focused on making a thing understands the value of that exercise. Some people I know wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China, except maybe when their back or knees hurt a bit too much or their hands get a bit arthritic but Haha! that's what apprentices are for.
You give a tip of the hat and a thank you to all who have supported you, your friends, pupils and patrons. Those who value your work, your intellect or your friendship enough to invest either their money or time in your world of making things. Keep on keeping on.
Enjoy the south and lets see what the new year brings.. ...dh
