Whirlwind in Town

Dan's here!

When Daniel visited in late December, people found out about his tattooing. And he got many requests for his work.

So he said he would return with his gear and do a few tats.

And now he's back.

Yella lined up appointments for the last 3 weeks...a considerable effort...and filled up his schedule. That in itself was amazing!

Mucho work!

First she contacted those who said they wanted a tattoo. Then, she tracked them down to get their deposit. (Much running around in the car) That separated the wheat from the chaff. It always amazes me who is full of shit and who's not.

Money is a great way to see who's serious.

Then she got their requests for artwork and emailed it to Daniel...and back and forth that went. No small feat.

Round one of "Getting The Supplies" was accomplished last week.

Daniel arrived last night at 5 PM in David and started working this morning with his first appointment at 11 AM. Not much down time for him. And considerable set up involved too.

As you can imagine, after he started working, there were a few glitches.

Now enter dad...ya, that's me.

I was going to David anyway, so I was the runner to get all the additional stuff. A new desk chair that actually rolls, more lights, more paper towels, etc.

I stopped at 4 places trying to get all the stuff and still didn't get that One-Last-Thing. You know, the one that makes you feel like you got the job done.

But NOOOOOO, I couldn't find it.

A lot of activity. That's what kids are all about, right? Or am I getting old?

Dan did some amazing work today! A beautiful hummingbird on a lady's shoulder and more.

As I pulled up to the house and casita late this afternoon, the place was buzzing.

Feels vibrant around the ole homestead. It's great to have Dan here!

wow, good Share. so real it made me squirm with the attendances kids take, and the joy and disruption of attending them! Always good for a stirring of the pot. Give Daniel my Love, I have been blown away by the quality of his work. Yella is such a Mom! Love it! Love You Both, Immensely. Darshan

Makes you wonder how we could take the commotion when our kids were little. It starts gradually and builds...like putting the frog in the pot of cold water, then firing up the burner...pretty soon you're cooked and you don't even know it!

I love having them around as adults!
