[[encircled]] Quoyavtina [[/encircled]]

Sat - Aug. 20
Romando [[strikethrough]] & Richard [[/strikethrough]] was there had at work. Richards handsome silhouette against the window. Hearty greetings. No explanations No questions asked - no use - only good natured chaffing passed. Oqua Pi had tackled a new panel, the finished one doing in a sunny class room. He pointed out that he is making a pottery design [[strikethrough]] an abstract [[/strikethrough]] (one of their suput Ildefonso abstracts) as I had implored him to do, but moreover in the midst of it he is drawing a leaping animal. 

The photographer annoyed but amused had a tale to tell of Oqwa Pi & his photos in the drawing room, which he ordered and paid for, but which turned out badly - so Riley asked O.P. one day to pose again. He refused saying he was too busy working for Gallup but would next day. Riley [[strikethrough]] politely [[/strikethrough]] came next day, but a storm also came, to today he patiently came the 3 miles again, and again O.P. refused to leave his work for an such nonsense as photographs.

Tsosie is making a lovely sand painting -

"Who would like to continue painting after Gallup?" All except Oqwa Pi would be glad. No doubt he is needed at home. His wife & children did not come - Velino's did, he held a fat brown baby up for me to see as I was leaving one day. Velino, baby, & handsome mother wreathed in smiles.
