I haven't been so good about keeping up the blog lately. It's not that I've had writer's block, it's that I have this long list of things to write about and I can't seem to find the time to write about them all. So I'm going to back date a few posts and let y'all know what I've been up to. Being back on track will hopefully help me pace myself going forward. I think the key is more frequent, shorter posts.

| Our turtle masterpieces |
Last night Kevin and I went to Uptown Art Uncorked in West Palm Beach with Lois and Steve. Kevin saw the place on Groupon so we thought we'd check it out. Uptown Art teaches you how to paint a particular image and allows you to BYO food and beverage. We brought bottles of wine and ordered pizza from City Pizza and ate and drank as we worked diligently on our turtle paintings. It was much harder than I thought it would be! The instructor went a little fast and didn't explain much technique or strategy, so we were just trying to mimic her colors and lines. Lois got inspired halfway through to turn hers into a modern interpretation that I have subsequently named "Turtle #2." But even though it was a little frustrating at times, I like how they all turned out. It is very satisfying now to have a cool painting of a turtle that I did from scratch, but I think next time we may try something not quite as advanced!
