On Saturday October 25th I had a tea party with my granddaughters! Bree who is now 13 has become my assistant (trust me, I need one). I try to do a tea party twice a year. The girls really look forward to this, they came dressed in costumes ready for a fun time. There favorite part of the tea party is...pouring the tea (really just punch). They pour and drink and pour and drink! They decorated pumpkins and watched "Casper the Ghost", it's been a few...o.k.about 40 years since I watched Casper, the girls said it wasn't very scary! When it is time to go they get a treat basket filled with goodies and I send them home full of sugar, until that is...the next tea party! This year my Mom came, it was great fun for them to have Great Grandma Miller attend there party.

Taking Art Lessons from a Master!
In June(2008) I got to live a dream!!! Not only did I get to meet the famous Artist Charles Reid, but I got to take a workshop and work one on one with a master. It was amazing that I was able to get into the workshop many had been on a waiting list for two years. He only comes to Seattle about every 4 years. It was surprising that they kept the workshop small...about 18. And to have him give personal instruction was beyond words. His wife Judith who always accompanies him was a bright spot in each day. I learned alot about doing portraits. He is considered a master in the figure and portrait. Oh..I forgot to mention his main medium is of course...Watercolor! I am excited to work on faces. The pictures here are photos I took while Charles Reid was painting,the model is named Saddutz he is of Alaskan heritage, he works at the "Center for Wooden Boats" in Seattle, teaching old style canoe building.

Landon is Parri & John's baby, and he celebrated his 2nd birthday at...DISNEYLAND!!!
Yes it is true, Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Derek & Tiffani, Payton & Porter came, and Elaine & Allyson. I did have the peanut butter and jelly pizza and it was good. Stan and I had a wonderful time and of course can't wait to go again...how does January sound?
