Where's The Sun?











I need the sun!!!! Too many days without it. Thank God for my Ott Lite.
It's unhealthy to live in the dark (at least it feels like it)
Spent the week doing art. Haven't been out too much.
Actually, I took Keith out for dinner for his 46th birthday on Wednesday.
My baby is getting old (and so am I). WOW!
We went to "The Bank", a fairly new restaurant in down town Wheaton.
Food was good and so was the ambiance.
I just got back from my Art Group. Had a good time as usual. Didn't accomplish much. Too busy chatting and trying to solve world problems.
I've finished a couple more pieces for my GUT ART class, posted above.

MORE ART







The GUT ART Class I'm taking has really been a great experience for me.
I'm loving every minute of it and I believe it has given me new confidence in my work.
THANK YOU MYSTELE for sharing your class.
I still can't get away from the same color palette ( rusts, golds, greens etc.). I need to try brighter colors.
Now on to the next lesson. Can't wait!

FIRST FORMAL DANCE


Here I go bragging again !


Miranda went to her first formal dance last night.
"Homecoming"
As usual, she looks so pretty. (Am I a proud grandma?)
Love the color of her dress.
It seems to me that the girls at age 15 look so much more mature than the boys.
Oh, by the way, her dates name is RYAN (He's so cute).
