Monday before July 4th.!!

I would assume that you all have plans in place for the 4th of July.  It is my daughter in law, Brandy's, birthday.  What a day for that.!!  Every year you get fireworks on your birthday along with great food and parades and waving flags with everyone in a good mood.
I didn't paint today.  Instead, Bob and I went to Barnes and Nobel in Greenville.  I haven't been in that awesome store in ages.  The Kindle is the reason for that.  They did have some authors I love to read that had books on sale cheaper than using the Kindle to order them.  But we wanted some magazines and no one around Seneca carries much that we want to read.  Bob stocked up on Photo magazines and guitar ones.  I bought International Artist, American Artist Highlights with step by step painting guides,  American Art collector, American Artist ( which had a painting on the front that looked right out of Jana's special art except there wasn't any sparkle on it.)  I also got two children's books, one on color and the other on getting lost, some water color paints in subjects they love right  now ( Tinker bell etc.)  And Barbie fuzzy stickers.  I probably spent more time looking for stuff for the granddaughters than myself.  I did look for a good coffee table book by an artist, but they didn't have any I liked.  No Fechin.. or...  So that will be a goal on another day as long as this store manages to stay open.  That will be a sad day. The magazines all had pictures of what Diana would look like now.  She looked pretty good.  A skinny ol lady with good clothes sense. There were lots of people, just sitting around reading in chairs and benches, and drinking coffee using their computers etc.  There were kids all over the floors reading.  So, you know for kids, this rates right up with going to the zoo in fun.  And it was a lot cooler inside the store.   My spelling is vanishing, but my joy isn't.  So, figure out the words.. I will paint tomorrow.
