Karen from Maine was in town visiting Carroll who lives 35 minutes from me. Colleen from Eau Claire with friends near by planned a trip down so it is time for a mini March Mommy Get together.
Last year it was just Carroll, Karen and I but this year I needed to bring Hollace (she was in Fort Wayne last year at that time) and Hollace needed to bring her art stuff.
I felt especially quiet for the most part just listening to everyone talk. I didn’t really have anything to contribute to the conversation and when I wanted to chime in, I couldn’t find a place to jump in.
Hollace and Shannon (Carroll’s daughter) hit it off. They both draw a lot and had that in common. My iPad was used extensively by the girls. I am sure Carroll is thrilled that now her daughter wants an expensive tech toy.
All in all, it was a nice gathering.
The other day I seen a sign at a car wash (where I look for their constantly changing witty signs) that hit close to home for me. It said, “Just because people don’t understand you, doesn’t mean you are artist”. I feel like I hid behind that statement a bit.
