Tubing the Elk

Last Friday I went tubing on the Elk river with two friends. I really enjoyed it. It lasted a bit longer than we expected (4.5hrs!) but was a great experience. The water was FREEZING! I am not sure how it was possible with the upper 90 degree weather we have been having but it was. It was like dipping your tush in a glass of ice water.No joke! It was so warm outside though that it wasn't so bad. I really loved being out in the sun. It was great!
PS. sorry the picture is a bit fuzzy.

Arrington

I had such a great time with friends last night. We all went to Arrington Vineyards and each brought along an appetizer to share. They offer free wine tasting up to 8 wines. I am not much of a drinker and have no clue when it comes to wines. It was sort of a good lesson and experience to get to taste so many types. My favorite were the dessert wines-Blackberry and Raspberry wine. Mmmm..tastes more like juice but that is the way I prefer it I suppose. Haha...

Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Re Do

 A few months back I bought a few canvases and painted them. I liked them ok but didn't love them. Not wanting to buy another canvas I figured I would paint over one of them and start from scratch. This is what I came up with in a rare moment of craftiness.


 I don't know much about using acrylic paints. Do you? I don't like the finish they give off when all is done. It always looks really flat and cheap. Maybe it's just my painting skills but is there a way to give it a more polished look? I don't know if this makes sense. Someone help me!
