Move over, Stick People!

Last night, I met my friend Debby at the Mall for a quick bite at Sadie's (a local cafeteria) and then we had a 'Wine and Design' class. Several glasses of Cupcake Wine "Red Velvet" (not like it sounds - no, it's not a cake flavor, but a lovely dry red wine -thus the "Red" in the name)and we spent the next two hours painting. Now, except for stencilling walls and such, I have only painted by-numbers as a child (and never on velvet!) or just stuck to my infamous 'stick people'. At the end of the night, I brought home a painting that I have to say I am very proud of. Still waiting on that light to shine on it in a place of honor that we have yet to choose. I hope that place is not the back wall of my walk-in closet! I'll post a picture of it...soon. Tonight, I baked stuffed peppers (stuffed with ground beef, onion, garlic, and parmesan cheese), sauteed yellow crookneck squash with bacon and purple onions, caprese salad (tomatoes, mozzarella and basil drizzled with EVOO) and freshly baked parker house rolls. Not bad....not bad at all. More to come....
