Friday

Pretty boring day today.   Bright and sunny outside.  I am in the middle of thoroughly cleaning one of my watercolor palettes to start with fresh paint.  I'm considering using the butcher tray and choosing a limited palette, starting with fresh paint every time I paint.  Sometimes I just get confused with a full palette of colors and end up with mud.

Here is my attempt at humor today.

With Justin Bieber and Richard Sherman in the news, no one has much time for Obama bashing these days.

I watched the movie "Children of a Lesser God".  I first saw this movie years ago when we had a little deaf boy enrolled in my classroom. School hadn't started yet, but we wanted to be ready for him.  The school sent me to a couple of workshops, and the speech teacher and I spent some time at the School for the Deaf in Casper.  A group of teachers got together one night a week to work on our signing.  We worked so hard to get ready for this kid, then his mother moved and he was sent to school in Jackson. 

 

I was never proficient at signing, and was pretty slow.  But when I watched the movie, I was surprised at how much of the signing I could keep up with.  Good movie!
