Monday. Funday.








Hello friends!

We have room! Over the weekend we scrubbed and painted and moved into the space that wraps around the gallery. Now, in our new studio, we have room to twirl, make giant paper mache elephants, and tell jokes. Our gallery now houses the finished pieces as well as art from our friends at Major Panda and the EC. Come by. Dance with us. Paint a masterpiece with Kelly and Dan. Or just enjoy a cup of tea while listening to beautiful chaos.

Love. Project Grow

Got a lot of love to give-Vickie



This summer I'm going, if, I'm just waiting for my brother to get well and then I'm going to the beach. And he is doing the, he is a little bit sore yet. (To Tim) Brother, how's my tomato doing? (Tim) It's doing well, it's your love, fertilized with love. [Vickie giggles] I have a lot of love to give. [Turns back to Emese] And my life history... I took care of my grandmother also I took care of my dad and when I was working in California I had to run back to Oregon cause my mom was in the hospital in Prineville, I only got to see her for just a little bit. When I left she was gone. Right before Mothers day. And then Daddy died on his birthday, he went to sleep. He did not know nobody. Even his own kids. I took care of him also, he didn't want nobody to take care of him. Also, momma always treated her kids love and affection. She was always there for me when I was sick, really sick and down. I was in the hospital three or four times. I was operated here. My tube were tied. Because if I had a baby the baby and I could die too. I knew people like me in Mollalla in Easter Oregon, we were in the same age. I went to 4H. I even grew beautiful roses. We nicknamed our grandparents. My mom's mother was big grandma, dad's was little grandma. My grandpa was a logger. When he gets a check he always goes to the tavern. My grandma didn't get no sleep at all.

When Danny and I got hooked up, his house parents wants me to come up and move up there. They love me like a part of their family. When I was sick not too long ago, he called me. He is my baby. We always meet each other at the Rose Quarter in the morning, he gives me a big hug when he sees me. When I came here, I met Danny the first time, and he fell in love with me. he says, 'I love you sweety, I want you for my girl'. Also, he when he comes back, he is bringing me something, a surprise. I don't know what it is. He says be on your best behavior. Let Patsy and Dave watch over me until he gets back. We are engaged to be married. We love each other.

Independence day means freedom - Patsy

I like to be by myself. I'm going to do things what I like to do. And I don't. I ask for help. I want a place of my own. And everything. I just want somebody to help me. Independence day means freedom. I like to do things for myself. Things like that. And everything. I am an American. I like to do things on my own. Try not to have anybody help me and everything. I love to cook and bake. Only thing I would ask is somebody to take me to the store. And everything.

I like to do things with my family. And everything. We'd do things together. We'd put on picnics, camping overnight, things like that. That's why I'd like to try to get another computer for up here. I love to read. And I get a few mathbooks and stuff, and I don't get no help on that.

On our picnic's we'd eat chicken. Pot roast. Tato salad. Baked beans. Turnips. Now I can't eat them because of my stomach. Oh and also ice cream and cake! They don't hurt my stomach. When I was a little girl, about 12 years old, I followed in my mom and dads footsteps. We do things together. We go down to the beach and walk. And everything. I want to do the same things with you guys. My dad asked me 'what would you like' and I'd say, 'some wings and some work books'. And he'd say, 'that's no problem honey'.

I'd like something to do, I like to do things with my hands. and I'd like to go back to school. Get my education.

I got my freedom and I can do what I want to.
