invitation to melinda's opening in antigua, guatemala

I keep re-reading Melinda's invitation to the opening
of her new shop, which will probably be the only
high-fire ceramic work sold in that area. I feel such
pride for Melinda! I can only imagine how hard
she and her husband have worked to make this
happen ..... and now "Celadon," the shop's name,
is no longer simply a dream but a reality.

Many of us..... probably each of us ..... have
dreams, but how few actually bring one of such
personal significance to fruition. Dreaming is the
fun part, which includes selling your idea to
yourself. Planning is next, of course, and you may
then be on your way ..... after that, comes the
elbow grease and need to sell to others which is
where many of us falter and put the dream aside for
another day, perhaps.... at least, we tell=20
ourselves so.

I know there must have been many glitches ..... likely
daily glitches ... but now the foot's in the door with
their very own shop on the calle Oriente.

......... good luck, Melinda and Ron. It's very
possible that one day I'll wander in ... not in the
immediate future, true ..... but one day......
