It was pouring rain all day today. Today was spent painting KOI. The painting is great but I'm not really into fish. I learned a lot about controlling the paint and feathering hard edges. This has been a good learning experience and Becky is very good because she keeps talking as she paints on the easel in front of the class. Lunch was pot luck. I brought my broccoli again. I had lasagna, pizza, curry chicken salad and my broccoli salad. JoAnn brought girl scout cookies for the class. She is making a very large version of what we are making in the small version. I also liked JoAnn's Christmas card idea. She took one of her winter scenes and had it made into Christmas cards last year. This is my idea of a Christmas Card! I was pretty tired by the end of the day. We had spent 8 hours painting! I drove home in the rain at 5:30, hwy 55 was pretty busy but moving along. When I got home Libbie and I took inventory then went out to Krogers because it was old geezer day. Dinner was rotisserie chicken with macaroni and potato salad. The Met tonight was Carmen live which I listened to until the end of the first act.
