Today was one of the most fun times I've had for a while. Mixed Media met at the Rendezvous Pointe Senior Center to have a work meeting. The purpose was to finish up artwork for the Wyoming Artists' Association Annual Convention to be held in Riverton the weekend of May 11, 12, and 13. It's usually one of our favorite times and always a good time had by all getting together with artist friends from all over the state. We've all got our room reservations, and dues and choices for workshops in to the officers. On that Friday we will more or less caravan over together. We may come this direction and go down the Lander Cutoff of the Oregon Trail past our place and paint on the way that morning.

So our meeting today it seemed we all did something worthwhile I got more acquainted with our new member Angela and really enjoyed visiting with her. I worked on finishing up some of the pastels I have started. We went and had lunch at the Chinese restaurant and it seemed extra delicious today. They have learned to put us in some distant corner apart from the rest of the customers, because we have been know to become quite boisterous. Charm stopped by to say hi, but she had yoga and piano lessons today. Sandy was there too and was taking the tai chi class and a lot of other ladies we know were playing bridge. We ate all the free frozen yogurt from the ice cream machine we wanted.

The dogs went along and needed about three walks and had some leftover lo-mien. I didn't have any other errands, and the drive was enjoyable. One thing I noticed was what a dirty haze there was in the air this morning - not our crisp clear air from a few years back. It was a nice spring day but the radio said snow showers tomorrow.
