Today was incredibly busy. I covered the tomato cage with paper to make my costume and painted it with poster paint and didn't like it. Ripped it all off and recovered with some corduroy fabric that Libbie had. This is better. Now I need a foam to support the branches. Tried printing labels for MAAVS but ran out of paper and ink. Found some ink but we are still low on the yellow. Did 4 pages this way. Got a nice surprise today in that the BAC payment came early. It was supposed to be Nov 15. Paid the Stoneybrook dues and the Sarasota taxes. Today I am officially at "full retirement age" according to the US government. Was very busy updating the AVSA convention pages with Penny and her team providing feedback. Made all the corrections. Dinner was pasta in oil with fresh tomato from our garden. Talked to Arlene this morning. She still doesn't have power from last weeks storm. It's cold up there.
