Google Provides No Help

Day 2 of my missing blogger photos.  Looks like they're not going to help me as I notice other bloggers have posts as far back as 2012 about the gray circle with the white slash in the middle!  There is the Blogger Forum, with Dark UFO as one of the Top Contributors - and even he sounds like he's frustrated with giving help on this particular subject.  I finally found a phone number for help (again, Google doesn't make it easy to find it!).  It was an automated number and there are only four choices to go with.  Forget about asking for a "Representative".

So be it, I will stop wondering if I'm going to hear from them - I'm positive I won't - and just continue on with my up to date blog!   As I have time, I will try to go back and fill in the missing photos, until I get tired of doing that!  I am not a computer geek by any means and I can get just as frustrated as anyone with computers.  Why does it have to be so complicated?  Enough of this!

A  recent painting I did from a calendar picture for inspiration was bought by a close friend of mine for her son and his wife.  That was good news!  They love it.



Today is Auburn Artwalk night.  Spent the morning passing out the signs in Auburn with Rosie.  I will head back out there tonight from 6 - 9 p.m. on Lincoln Way and in Old Town Auburn.  It was a little on the warm side today, but hopefully we will have a great turnout.  The artwalks are always on the 2nd Thursday night of the months of April, June, August, and October.  Artists works are on display for two months.

Getting Back on Track

As you can see it's been a year and a  half that I have been absent from my blog!!  As another blogger wrote one time, "...sometimes life gets in the way!"  Got that right.

I am currently working on this new website to bring it up to date.  I will be adding new Galleries, both black and white, as well as color, and in addition, artwork that I have created from my photographic images!!

Been working on some technical difficulties with this blog, specifically, why have all my images disappeared from it??  I almost deleted my blog and thought oh well I'll just use RedFrame's Blog.  Well, it's been so long that I have been actively creating on the website and blog, that I forgot that RedFrame DOESN'T HAVE A BLOG OF IT'S OWN!  Whew!  I missed the bullet on that one thank goodness!  So I'm waiting from anyone from Google's Blog Help to respond to my issue.  If anyone reading this knows the answer please don't hesitate to email me.

I have been out of the art loop as I left the High Hand Gallery in early 2014 because I needed a rest.  And that rest worked out, but then we ended up moving.  So that was a year in the making - 6 months packing up the old place and 6 months unpacking and settling into the new place!  Glad we made the move - love it here and have been doing some of that painting I was mentioning on my updated website.

So if you can put up with the crazy missing picture icon on the blog, I will continue to write on my blog and hopefully you will continue to read it!

Glad to be back!  I think I'm getting back in the groove here! ; )  Maria
