We had an arts night at Ollie's school on Thursday night and my Mom and Dad came down to demonstrate their art. They were a real hit. My Dad worked on a study of a picture he took up in Brighton canyon. I will post a picture of the study in a later blog. It's so amazing. It reminds me a little bit of Yellowstone. Needless to say, Ollie got in good with his principal, Mr. Dowdle. Bonnie Callis was awesome. She had a lot of hands on activities like collages, sculpting, watercolor, drawing, sketching, etc. I was so impressed with how she coordinated everything. My Mom's art project included a handprint of Lolo's and her creativity of keeping Nena and Lolo alive while I was helping with the collages and making sure Ollie was getting around to all of the tables. It was a magical night complete with apples, grapes, cheese and crackers--lovely music and wonderful talent. Thanks Dad, Mom, Bonnie and everyone else there. At the end of the night I was commenting on a sculpture and I said, "I like how it reaches upward like an eternal flame." This girl overheard me and said, "That is the name of the piece." Doo doo doo doo--twilight zone.

WOW!! Sounds like such a fun night!! What a huge blessing that both of your parents are so talented, capable and helpful!! Wish I could have been there with you guys. How lucky is Ollie to have you and your parents to love and support him. Isn't life such a sweet experience? Especially if you're creating art. Say hi to your wonderful parents for me!
