Elaine and Chris

In yesterday's blog, I mentioned that I would give a fuller story about Elaine and Chris.  Well, I spent a few hours with Elaine and a few minutes with Chris today. Those two together just sparkle. I can't ever remember seeing Elaine more joyful. I went over earlier today, Sunday, to help Elaine move stuff at from her apartment to Chris's house. Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend much time with Chris as he was in a Slackers Bike Race and I got lost on the way over wasting time driving around when we could have socialized.  Next time for sure.

They actually started dating sometime in July, eight weeks before they were married. They had seen each other around the coffee house and the bar in Milheim and other music events, but didn't really know each other.  Elaine, urged on by Flora, started a conversation and magic happened.  Chris had already planned the trip to Nashville and invited Elaine along.  Then they decided to elope and since there was a Friday 13th with a full moon--what else could they do but choose that day to be married in Nashville.  they had tattoos of rising moon on their hands and a really cool heartish shaped tattoo on their forearm interiors of the date of the marriage. Which incidentally are the same numbers backward and forward 9-1-3-19.  I believe that is a palindrome. I don't think it has to be letters, numerals are ok, too. I think whole sentences too.  or not.  Anyway, the are head over heals in love and acted on it, surprising everyone. Elaine Whitmer sounds nice. It still is hard to believe. Shock, mostly. Elaine sent me the full wedding picture file, but I'm having issues accessing it. surprise, surprise. What that means is I'm repeating pictures.  I'll throw in a few odd ball photos just to amuse myself and you.
There are actually two deer in that picture walking along the riverbank

Elaine and Chris being silly, but I guess I didn't have to tell you that!!

Wolf Video from Yellowstone

My Yellowstone buddy, Brenda is back at YNP for the winter season. Within the first few days, she and friends saw a wolf herd.  Brenda, quick with the camera was able to get a few seconds of video. Thanks. Brenda.  By the way, she will start posting to her blog about YNP very soon.  The address once again is: ynpfever2019.blogspot.com .  Leave a comment of encouragement and amazement if you could, please.  Unfortunately, I cannot load the video to this blog, so you'll have to wait until Brenda uploads it or until Clara comes over and shows me how to do it. Since the last post, my art class ended.  Joan and I are signed up for the February class.  I've added a few pictures that I painted.  Some are good, some aren't but it's the thought that  counts, right?   I painted a few yellowstone  pictures for four of my Yellowstone friends.  They all saw the original painting I did at YNP, so they will know how far I have come.  Happy holidays to one and all.  Today is a goo

Art, just mostly my art.

I am trying to be very funny with giving myself the artist title.  I am enjoying this new-found interest of watercolor painting.  I will never be great, but who cares?  I am and will be satisfied with my results.  So there!! lol. We are in week 5 of 6 in watercolor class.  I have learned so much between Jane, who is a wonderful instructor, more like a guiding spirit, and YouTube, that has tons and tons of information.  Knowing how I can get involved in something and leave everything else behind, I force myself to shine my kitchen sink, aka straighten up the kitchen, before I sit and watch and paint.  Not a bad life, I'll tell you. Enjoy the  refrigerator art.  Thanks.... This is one study we did in class, applying some new techniques Just pictures.  The one with the moon is salt added to the wet paint for the sky to give it a neat look Cute snow creature with practice pad colors on the edge I was just messing around with snowmen and they came out kind of cute,

This group of pictures is from the overlook we just happened upon while looking for the trailhead.  I didn't want to confuse them with the others. But I did end up adding some photos that I miss on the previous blog.  More blogging tomorrow, but don't expect photos. Hard to see in the photo, but this area was the scene of a forest fire years ago. Following pictures are some I missed posting on the Storm Trail hike Flowers along the way More Flowers along the way Mushroon Probably elk scat, but maybe moose. Cool nest, no idea what kind
