A wonderful Christas has gone and New Year's we just staged home and wat- ched television,' but that was good. I had my first art lesson . Monday and Mary, the teacher, and five students (all my age) were happy to see me and ex- pressed their enthusiasm with hugs. Mary said, "We were waiting for you -it must be.: coffee time." So I dashed to the kitchen and started.the kettle. . . Enthusiasm..can..r. eally get you going and the morning pased` We enjoyed a cake for 'Mary's birthday and could feel the warmth of the little party. The paint was,flying at the easels and everyone was concen- trating. One lady from Montreal curses once in a while and we laugh. Three of us decided 'on a floral painting of dark blue -purple, iris; I'd been working too fast and had to redo part and'Mary also worked at it a bit. I seldom ask for help. • . • . Enthusiasm faded by mid-afternoon but s tiring_ . to stand or sit ►t ' .. for a longtime. A talk with the cats or a walk outside to •pick some fat, oranges provideds an adequatge pick-me-up. The trees are loaded with large. grapefruits, oranges and tangeloes. The break is good because you need a strong mental attitude to paint. in today's world of inflation, irregular garbage pickup,' faulty workmanship,, traffic jams, loud electric guitar music and other irrita- tions, is enough to put us off our rockers. People are about as enthusiastic as they 7OUND 9 NABOUT with Martha athburn make up their minds to be. It develops their spirit, they. are fun to be with, and stir up ambition to carry us over hurdles. I, enjoyed the Christmas edition of the Signal -Star and read every bit of it. Every page was interesting and the, children's work was wonderful. I smiled so much, Walt. thought I was a little touched. Doug glued' some speeial tape to teh cross-over pipes on the Hornet and it's quiet now. The traffic- has been unbelievable and. garages were busy. 1' talked to a few but we were in Venice last weekend and Doug worked on ,it. I hope it lasts. - I have looked at this crossover pipe thing ----and I can seethe pipes have separated and don't meet. I can hardly believe tape and, glue will mend it, even for a short time. I have only played bridge once. A group plays. every Monday but that's, painting day. Hope'you are keeping well and take your vitamins. Look out for each other. Love you. Martha.
