The kiln finally shut off before we went to bed last night.  It ran for way too long!  We opened it up today and found out that the kiln didn't fire hot enough.  The top shelf fired to between cone 5 and 6 so some things looked ok on that shelf.  The other 3 shelves didn't even fire to cone 5.  Glazes didn't look good.  It was such a bummer!  We are going to be replacing the elements.  It was a very rainy day today.   I made some large mugs.  Adam had soccer practice this evening from 5:30 to 7:00. The rain stopped soon after practice started.  We kicked around the ball with the boys on an empty field.

What a bummer. I guess a lesson on how to pick yourself up of the floor! Who needs that! I guess it's don't count your mugs before they are finished or something like that. It's still a bummer. Vertigo is back. Doc appointment Fri.

Bummer for sure! Sure hope when you replace the elements and put them in again, they are ok. All that hard work! Such a disappointment! You two handle things well, so it will be ok. You know I am praying though. Love that picture of Adam and Wyatt. Nice soccer pictures too! I'm praying for Lela's dr. appt to go well too and the vertigo to go.
