My First Shirt Painting!

Life has been good here at the Plantation. Randy & I have just been enjoying the beautiful, sunny 70 degree weather, that is until yesterday. Whoa! We had a storm come through that shook the RV – up to 55 MPH winds. Yuck! That is not fun in an RV. We even had a tornado warning, with some tornadic activity just south of us. A little too close for me, but the weather has been crazy all over the country, hasn't it?

Before the ugly weather blew in on us yesterday, I went to my first shirt painting class. It was a lot of fun. The teacher was our landlord, Jan, and she is such a creative person. She had stenciled “Big Red,” the Holland, Michigan lighthouse, on sweatshirts. We then painted the picture. I have never done anything like that before and am DEFINITELY not an artist; not by any definition of the word. But, I am good at coloring inside the lines. (Bonnie Lindner – no comments!!) So, I figured I could do this. And I did! :) I'm pretty happy with the results. Thought I'd share with you. I have to admit, I did most of the painting, but Jan finished up the water and did the flag and the beacon. Good, huh?

That's about here. Tomorrow is a dulcimer day, with the Jubilee Pickers. We also have a gig somewhere in the area, not sure where. Last week we played at a local Veterans' Home. It was very humbling to see how happy those guys were because we were there. How thankful I am to them for their service.

Not much else planned. Tomorrow's Valentine's Day. We don't tend to make a big deal of it 'cause we tell each other “I love you” every day 'cause you never know what's coming down the road. So, take a minute to let someone close to you know how much he/she means to you. It'll make your day a little brighter.

Until the next time . . .
