I've done almost no water color in my painting attempts.  This was just such a rich source to practice from.  And practice is the operative word, I wouldn't get these out to show to an army of ants!  Anyway, when I found Colette Copeland, she had dozens of wonderful fairly simple paintings.  I was in heaven!  When I looked her up now, she seems to be doing more crafts than paintings, but still showing the talent she has.  Here is a sample of what I found.

Yesterday, Sheila and I went to Herren Bed & Breakfast to have a "Ladies lunch".  It was such a sweet place and we had such a wonderful lunch.  Here are some pictures of us.

We had a lovely time and shopped a little in Waynesville, too.  Then we picked up a couple of ingredients at Ingles but then couldn't find the receipt and couldn't make the penna and asparagus dish we intended to make.  But Sheila did make a wonderful taco soup.  We had another wonderful dinner and the best part was it is a low-cal dinner!  Enough good times,  I'll make you crazy if I keep telling all the great food we are having!  Until tomorrow...
