Day1656: A real Rockette and a Chanteuse!

\

earring lover, ink, watercolor & collage

Saturday was a long day. 

Not the six hour class, 

but the loading & travel time before & after.

But, as I traveled home, I thought about the day.

I really do meet the nicest people.

I usually blog about the class & show the art, here.

To respect privacy I rarely use personal photos.

But there is always more going on in between all that art.

We laugh, talk, share & sometimes are quiet - deep in thought.

But as in life outside, everyone has a story.

I keep thinking about all that yesterday's blog doesn't show.

Bette & Kimberly

We had an adorable Mother -Daughter pair ...

and what a joy to watch them work next to each other, 

laughing, teasing, praising & just enjoying each other.

We took a break for lunch & that's when I found out 

our Kimberly was a real honest-to-goodness 

NYC Radio City Music Hall Rockette!

Our Rockette, Kimberly, third from left ... the cutest!

Now how cool is that?

I've been thinking of all the questions I wished I had thought to ask!

I did ask how tall she is & she said 5"10" & I drooled!

(A lot of us shorties can only dream of being tall.)

I e-mailed  Kimberly asking if pics would be possible ...

and I got a bonus ...

"Dog cowboy" by Kimberly

Kimberly said, "My mom & I had such wonderful time yesterday!! 

So much fun!!!! So much fun in fact that I had to go 

to her house today & play some more! 

I attached a pic in progress of my dog cowboy."

And there's more. During a quiet time in class,

I jokingly asked if anyone wanted to serenade us?

Anita, without missing a beat ...

belted out a Welsh drinking song, accent & all.

We were so thrilled, she gifted us with two more!

See what you're missing? You should've been there!

A smile for Monday ...


Artist & good friend Marilyn Gallas sent me this ...
