Bucket List!

Take a look at the wine glass holder Dave made for our
new "bar room"!
One for martini glasses too!
Isn't he great?
He had some exciting news today!
Golf clubs have been found!
The label to ship them home from Pebble Beach Golf Club
fell off on route home and the old label (the one shipping them
to Pebble beach) was re read and they went from
Sacramento right back to Pebble Beach Golf Club!
Dave is one happy guy!

So, on my bucket list was a wish to paint a picture!
Deb and I took a watercolor class together 
and the subject just happened to be 
Alpacas~
Crazy, right?
The teacher had painted a picture then made
copies for each of us.
She then started painting a new one in class 
for us as we watched her techniques.
Many of the ladies there had been painting for YEARS.
It was our first time EVER.
I could not wait to get started, and finished
because apparently,
 I painted mine in a hurry~ 
Check it out...
Hers is the darker one in front, mine in back.
When I was done, I strolled around the room to 
look at others and found many had
only been working on one of the alpaca!
They could not believe I was finished so fast!
They also thought mine was not too bad for a first 
time painter!
They had no idea I have really had
years of experience with 4 year olds in my pre school
classrooms the last 17 years~
Those little darlings and my own gems
have taught me a thing or two about
painting!

No worries~
I am not quitting my day job!
Note: I will never be an english teacher either~
thanks Sheila for correct spelling!
