Easely Amused

My friend Mary and I took a painting class tonight at Easely Amused. Mary and I had such a great time together. I wanted to take this particular class to paint Irises. There are certain flowers that remind me of my grandmother, and Irises are one of them. I am going to give this painting to her for her 97th birthday, which is tomorrow. I am so thankful to still have my grandmother. She has always meant so much to me. One of the things I will always remember about her is that whenever I would get sick as a child, I would always want to call her because she would bring me a six pack of the little bottled grape juice. She would usually also bring a coloring book or something else to occupy me. I sure do miss going to her house every Sunday for lunch. We don't realize how much we will miss the little things like that until we're no long able to do them.

If you're interested in taking a class, you can see their schedule at www.easelyamused.com. Here are a few pictures from our class.
