I started two new activities this month. Tomorrow I have my third piano lesson, which I'm enjoying. I spend 20-30 minutes every day in practice. This method is "for fun" and if we're not having fun, we need to evaluate what we're doing.
The second new activity is a monthly class in Photoshop Elements. While I've used Photoshop for over a decade and taught Elements for three weeks on a cruise ship in 2004, I figure I can always learn something new. One aspect I'm interested in is digital scrapbooking.
Arne continues to be consumed with art classes and improving his art skills. In fact, I feel like my kitchen and family room have become an art studio as Arne moves his supplies from the kitchen island to the kitchen table to the family room coffee table to the sofa to the table on the lanai. He's supposed to have an art studio in the garage but he doesn't seem to like working in one place. He graciously clears the kitchen table each night so we can eat dinner there.
There were several accidents yesterday about an hour from here on I-75. Arne travels that route to go to the VA. I even drove him once when it was pouring down rain and people were speeding as though the pavement was dry. Apparently, speed was a factor in this series of accidents which killed 10 people. There is an open area which gets lots of fog and haze. These people were driving at 3:30 AM so didn't "see" the fog until they were in it with 0 visibility. Very tragic.
