Thursday, Sep 17, 2020
About noon, I got dressed & we went over to the Southgate Plaza- to Bank & to P.O, & then to “Your Host” for lunch. When I came out I said I felt like driving and so I did- It was as if I had not been away from it for 11 months- To markets & then home.
In studio, working on the Genesee Rd. Picture which I think I shall call “Dusty Road in July”-
I was about to get out the “Farmhouse & Two Pines” picture when a coughing spasm started which ended activity for the day-
Dark & raining heavily at late P.M.
