Day FOUR - Thursday - Watercolor Class, Beaver Island

Of course, another WONDERFUL sunrise.  I wonder what the sunsets are like on the other side of the island?  If they are as spectacular as the sunrises, I guess I should travel over with a gang in the evening to see one . . . . BUT, since the station is charging .90 a mile for travel in their cars this year that makes a trip into town and back $18 (gas over here is $6 a gallon!) and I probably won't do it. 

Last night and today were "fun with food" days for me.  Trudy and I joked about the "mile high" selections on the menu at Arnies while she was here, so I made my own version with our "Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner".  And this morning I made a scupture from my beverages.  I think Arlene and John were perplexed by it!
The Queen Ann's Lace this morning made me think of the fun Trudy and I had up here last week. There is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT vibe and dynamics up here this session, by the way.  It is really more like a family reunion weekend than a class.  And we have the added to the mix a group of water treatment people from around the state who are studying plankton.  With all of the Plankton People and family members in the dining hall during meals it is a very lively place!!
Pat and Cayla Tinney have been collecting heart shaped rocks from the beach in memory of Jodie Dewey all week.  And tomorrow we have a commemorative service for her on the beach 8:08, 08/08/'08.
