Last Friday, Next Friday

Last Friday was spent at

Conneaut Lake Park.

One of my favorite places to be..

I went there when I was young.

I took my girls there

and now

my grandchildren.

The park has struggled over the years,

but

they are persevering

and

coming back.

It was so nice to see a nice crowd

a clean midway,

and

ride attendants that went above and beyond

to make sure that

all the families

had a great day!

Four generations spent the day there

Mom and Dad,

Me

Shelby

Gracelyn, Kendall and Garren.

There was something for everyone!

Such a relaxing day!

And

next Friday,

I start this.

A painting class in Virginia

at the

Pampered Palette.

I can't wait.

It has been a long time since I have taken a seminar.

Three days of painting,

no phone,

no stress,

no demands.

What a break!

I have always loved this painting.

This well worn book sits on my coffee table all the time.

I even bought this piece a few years ago.

Now I am going to try to make my own.

And funding that trip?

A lot of this.

Four of these in the last week.

I'll be glad to be painting fruits and flowers after these!
