New Annalisa Artwork

Annie has completed a new project for an art class this semester at UVU. She re-drew a colored pencil sketch she did before in 8x10 size (8th grade) and drew it larger, about 18x24 inches in acrylic. After I took the photo of the eye, she applied the heartbeat electrical line across the front of the eye in red paper and then a couple streaks of lightning coming in from the right side. It looked pretty cool. She did this sketch of the eye first on scratch paper, and the unfinished fish and flower was in her sketch book. I love seeing her interpretations. Way to go Annie!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Wishing the best of Valentine Day and celebrating the people who matter! I...er...forgot...cough... to send my Grandson a Valentine which has been a great example set by my Mom to her Grand-kids, so I took a photo of this handmade card from a Card Party I attended a long while ago, and presto...sent it to the little guy and felt pretty pleased with myself. Except the photo text got lost in space and I sent it again with victory. Happy Days little buddy, your Grandma loves you! (Isn't that weird....still amazes me to have a G-child.) To the rest of my favorite people.....Happy Valentines....even a day late!

Soldier Hollow Sledding Adventure 2-6-2010

Ethan lucked out and won a contest at his Orthodontist office, guessing how may lifesavers were in a jar. He won 4 tickets to sled at Soldier Hollow which is a controlled sledding hill with a tow rope to get you back up the hill. It's a $20 per person for a 2 hour session, so we were delighted to have the chance. The boys invited a mutual friend named Curtis and we all had a good time. The sun had come out and got us and the snow warmed up to prevent fast runs, but we had a good time anyway. We each had a good run that got the adrenaline going! As we were leaving I couldn't resist a shot of a great looking barn. Soldier Hollow is near the town of Midway, near Heber, UT up the Provo Canyon past the Dear Creek Dam.
