Too difficult to take photos of them.
Mom and I worked with polymer clay, which I now understand is toxic when baked in a toaster-oven.
So we'll air dry them next time, the way I did my tiny sculptures.
Mom loved reading the many projects you can make with the clay.
The two of us rolled tiny balls of clay and made beads in the toaster oven. Then we made a freestanding sculpture which is air drying right now.
She got confused and thought the black clay was licorice and not only tasted that but other colors as well. I said, Look! The orange looks like Lifebuoy soap or Dial soap.
How it stimulated our minds.
Watched the PBS Evening News Hour. So many stories to learn about including the rise of anti-Semitism around the world, including Norway, who once protected Jews from Hitler.
Last night I wrote a short story called TANGERINE DYING UNDER THE SUPERMOON. High marks from sister Lynn and Remington.
After I wrote that I had an idea for anudder short story. A once-famous movie star living in a trailer or a hotel room and absolutely no one knows who she is.
The late Nina Foch.
She may live in a trailer or a hotel room or suite. She may hug the bottle or she may be dignified. So many choices we have in life.
Will she be interviewed on TCM?
BTW just lost everything on here. One wrong touch and ker-splat!
Know what? Gonna ride my bike bc I ate half a bag of pretzel sticks.
Just read that John Andretti, famous race car driver, lost his battle with cancer at age 56.
Andretti was an active member of the community, being part of Race For Riley during the weeks of the Brickyard 400.
He disclosed in 2017 that he was battling stage four colon cancer, which was believed to be gone, but relapsed in 2018 and again in 2019 after another round of treatment.
His battle with cancer spared his awareness campaign, which started the hashtag #CheckItForAndretti.
"The thing that was great about John is he never forgot where he was from. He never forgot what his name allowed him to do, what his talent allowed him to do. And he used that platform to give back," said Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles. "The Riley Children's Hospital here in Indianapolis benefited every year from what John gave back. Even in his battle here with cancer, John used that to say #CheckItForAndretti. Colonoscopies were important. In fact, I just had mine and did it because of John."
Penske Entertainment Corp. President & CEO Mark Miles released the following statement regarding Andretti's passing on behalf of INDYCAR and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
John Andretti's skills behind the wheel of any kind of race car were admired by his millions of fans around the world, and he always returned that loyalty and kindness to become one of the most popular drivers of his generation. But John's true mission was helping others, whether through his countless hours of charity work, especially with Riley Children's Hospital here in Indianapolis, or by the colon screening campaign he started in April 2017 after he was diagnosed with cancer. John's positive attitude and selflessness throughout his brave fight inspired all of us and will be a legacy that will continue forever. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Nancy, their three children and the entire Andretti family.
I believe they carried his coffin one more time around the Indy race track.
