Puppet progress


 William in the garage studio working on his puppets. We needed to get the space cleaned up as it has become a dumping ground for furniture and other half done projects this winter. Feels much better now.

art shopping with mom


 I took mom out to galleries today, for something to do. The other day, she took all of her art off of her walls and put it all on the floor. Today she bought this new work.

Painting



 Lori has returned to painting some chickens (and in this case, a rooster) which is very exciting to me. I think they come easy to her, which might be why she has been doing other subjects for the past few months. Everyone in the class admires these.

Class photo


 Did the class photo today. Had faculty plus 14 of the 15 students. The final student arrived late so we do  have images of all the students (without the faculty) together.

Story meeting

William, Geremy, and I met about William's project today at Geremy's house. William wants to do a complete re-write - more of a comedy. Geremy dropped a few ideas his way.

Cards with mom


 William and I went to visit mom and play some cards. We couldn't find her at first, as she had decided to attend a video church service. Says she hasn't been to a catholic service in decades, even though she was at one last week.
