A Great Day For Art




What a fun day. Two of our favorite things, dogs and art. Our local library sponsored a free art class "All Gestured Up with a Dog." The artist, Kendra Wadsworth, was awesome. But as you can see her assistant Cassie Mae stole the show.

I sat in on the class because the girls were feeling shy that morning. I'm glad I did because I enjoyed watching the children create. They didn't stress out about what others think, staying in the lines, or what colors to use. They we just happy to be there.

The class was made up of about 10 high school, middle school, and elementary school age kids. Kendra did and excellent job of teaching to every age group. The teens in the class were very polite and a great role model for the younger kids.

We'd love to see Kendra and Cassie Mae come back for more classes.

Going For Gold


My friend Katie and I won best couple at a Halloween party last weekend. We were dressed as gold metal synchronized swimmers. We had a lot of fun putting this costume together. My favorite part is the vintage swim caps Katie found on line.
