GREAT LIFE---GREATER FRIENDS

Scott Peck says, "life is hard"...I say, "life is good". Tuesday I had an opportunity to meet with three great friends, Deborah, Joann, and Pat to learn a new technique of painting created by Carol O Brien. It was soooo much better sharing and doing with others. Than Pat put out a delicious chicken salad, warm bread, angel food cake with lemon sauce and blueberries...WOW. It was Deborah who was showing us how to do the painting and she is so peaceful and a GREAT teacher.

Thursday it was down to LaJolla to Sally's house to meet with yet another group of friends. Some made just today, but art clears all the hurdles and nonsense of "getting to know you". Everyone was doing their own thing, but we all couldn't help but overlap with some of what we were looking at. Everyone is into Suzi Blu and her gentle faces. It was fun to watch the different looks and approaches. I was still with the Carol O'Brien technique. Sally went to Dick Blicks and scored some great sales. I had asked her to pick up some paints for me---boy she exceeds friendship. Not only did she pick them up, but with a cheap price line with them.

Tomorrow we are headed to Mission Viejo to visit a sick friend and one not sick who is leaving with us to go to Dana Point. It should be fun. And so I repeat...great life...great friend's. Geo out of here...
