I MET MARY FREEMAN AT FOLK FEST!!!

Hello!! Folk Fest was AMAZING beyond words!! We went, we had a complete fun, fun, fun time...and the highlight of it for me was MEETING MARY!!! She is so wonderful, so full of life, and again, I am at a complete loss of words!! I have some pictures--I have many, many links..but unfortunately--I left home Friday morning, came back Saturday night, went to bed, and went to the Chattanooga Market on Sunday. Ok..I am a glutton for punishment...When I got home from the market on Sunday, I told Nature Boy that I was going to be very sick..and went to bed. I woke up about 5 hours later, and couldn't breathe, was congested, coughing and feverish. I am never sick. I KNOW the last time that I had a small cold even. It was 1 1/2 years ago almost EXACTLY. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED lately..I have about a novel size blog post coming up..but, right now, I am running a fever, and I want to lay back on my couch..with Petey the Wonderdog's little cold nose pressed on my shoulder..I hope you all haven't deserted me. I promise, as soon as I can get this darn fever to break..I will be back with ALL THE DETAILS!! I will tell you this. It was one of the PROUDEST moments of my life. I was a tiny piece of algae on a minnow's tail in a HUGE POND. Next year, I am looking forward to being a minnow...The funny thing is..I am so proud, happy, intoxicated that I even got in the door. If you see something online, then see it in real life--and it is 6 feet tall..and magnificent..it changes you. I am changed. I am ready to take on the art world. I am ready. Live Artfully! ~~Suzan~~
