GMG FOB Renate Paster-Pusch writes the following ~

“It was so nice to talk to you at the Block Party. As I said, I enjoy your contributions to the GMG blog so much and we listen to the podcast, when we are going on drives. We have not listened to the latest podcast, but will be able to hopefully later today

As promised, I am sending you the picture of Werner being attacked by the snake gourds, that Joey put on the blog 2 (?) years ago. I am also attaching a picture of what I am doing with the dried gourds. I am using Zentangle patterns. I am a certified Zentangle Teacher and am teaching these patterns. You can find out more about zentangle (if you are interested) at www.zentangle.com. I would be glad to give you a complimentary lesson, but I know that you are extremely busy and might not have the time, but it is a great stress reliever and is also called “Yoga of the brain”.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and keep up the good work!”

Thank you Renate for your very kind words and for the offer to learn Zentagle. Your hand painted cucuzza is stunning and reminds me of aboriginal art for didgeridoos. So glad to know you are enjoying the podcasts and Love the photo of Werner!

Gloucester Sticker, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

Thanks Renate for the pics from the road.  It’s much appreciated!
Renate-“Hi,
attached are two pictures from the Gloucester sticker with the Arch in
St. Louis. Did you get the picture from the Continental Divide?
We are getting closer to Gloucester, maybe two or three more days and
we will be home again.
My best,
Renate Paster-Pusch

Renate Paster-Pusch Represents At The Continental Divide

Renate Paster-Pusch Represents!-

“Hi,
here our car is stopped at the Continental Divide on famous Route 66. We had to leave Interstate 40 for a brief stop to take the picture. We have been traveling on I 40 for the last two days, which mostly follows the historic Route 66. Tomorrow we hope to make it to Wichita in Kansas. We are taking this route to go around the big ice storm that hit the Oklahoma/Arkansas area and caused widespread power outages.”

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

From Renate-
“we wanted to thank you for keeping us up-to-date on the going’s on in Gloucester, while we took our car cross country all the way to San Francisco. We did not have your Gloucester sticker with us, just the one that is attached to our car, so we positioned it, that the sticker and the Golden Gate bridge are in one picture. We were staying here for a couple of weeks to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather and to avoid the many snowstorms at home. However, the time has come that we have to get back and so we will be leaving on Monday to drive East until we get home. We don’t know which route we will take, since it all depends on the weather situation, but if you want to receive more pictures from our Gloucester sticker traveling cross country, we could take a few more pictures and send them to you, whenever we have wireless access. Just let us know.

Now make sure, that the snow melts by the time we get home and the sun will shine.
Our very best,
Renate + Werner
