Meet Shirley Broadoff

Meet Shirley.  We are going to paint together next week.  I have a newcomer's meeting at 9:00, then I'll head over to her paint room at Keowee Key Club.  She is picking the picture and the size and I am going to go through a step by step painting with her.  I had a bad day today and as usual took on a too hard set up to work on.  There were some lovely paintings people were starting and I will share them later with you. (including my set up.)  She is so sweet and honest.  She told me to start by painting the whole canvas the back ground color.  And then start drawing the object in it.  So that is all the farther I got really.
I went swimming tonight in the dark by myself and of course with Chase.  I looked up at the stars and watched the planes going over like little blinking dots in the sky.  In the water I didn't feel like a 60 + year old person.  But I also realized I had moved from having dreams to just wanting to make it through the day. I had laundry going because I forgot to do it earlier.  But I had a humorous thought before I close tonight.  I was thinking about Gail's white duck and white chicken and how they became good friends.  But I can't even remember their names now.  Like usual it is me starting a joke but not remembering it enough to finish it.
