Family Outing

Sunday actually had some sun in it.  It was raining when I got up 10 am!  I was in bed and asleep by 10pm the night before, must have been tired.  Then the sun came out.  Went for a short walk, made me feel better but I'm still not breathing quite like I should. I had to stop a couple of times.  Came home, made coffee, read the lame funny papers, there used to be some entertaining (to me) funnies.  I'm guessing since our paper is small in a small town that there is a limited selection for their budget?  Does it work that way?  I don't know.

Went to one of those paint and wine places with my Grand girl Natty and my son Chris.  They had an open paint this Sunday.  We chose to do something of our own instead of selecting from the offerings.  I had some moments of high anxiety before we got there.  I haven't painted for so long, kept reminding myself this was for fun not a competition.  Nat and I brought sketches.  Chris brought his colorful cartoonist brain.  I had a glass of white wine.  My companions had exotic orange carbonated stuff.  Clearly we like color. Three generations of painters.

I especially love the little critter with the blue critter,

Nat's central figure reminds me of how joyful she is and how she can bring that with her into dark places.

Then, just an aside, Walla Walla's Holiday Inn Express got a FedEx delivery it wasn't expecting!  No injuries to people or pets fortunately.  Took awhile to extract it since it came into the pool through a load bearing wall.  Not my picture, Got it from a FB friend who got it from a friend etc.  And yes, I went down to look at it.  Sigh, I must get out more.
