I read about St. Simons Island, love the beach, learned that an artist needs to paint plein air, “met” an artist who teaches plein air on St. Simons Island, and met a real person who lives there.
The real person invited me to stay with her and her family at their home by St. Simons Island.
So, I am going next week. Flying to Jacksonville, Florida, driving to Brunswick, Georgia to stay with my friend’s cousins, meeting Laurel Daniel in person, and joining a three day class on St. Simons Island to learn to paint plein air.
This is Uh-May-Zing. Truly.
Normally I NEVER say that I am going away before I go, because this is the World Wide Web. This time is different. Trail Guy will be home with Scout when she produces our grandkitties and is taking that duty very seriously.
Who knows what sort of stories I will tell you next week? Time will tell if I will be able to post to my blog in real time the experience of being on St. Simons Island, meeting Laurel, learning to paint plein air. If I go silent next week, just figure that I am completely in the moment.

Old lady’s advice: Absorb it all to the fullest. Fill your days with delight and accomplishment beyond any obligations.
Middle-aged lady’s acceptance of your advice! (I will NEVER think of you as an “old lady”, Louise.)
Have a great time!!!!
Thank you, Elaine! That’s the plan – adventure, learning, beautiful scenery, new friends, and lots of time to knit on the planes.
What a wonderful gift! Thank you for the story and the backstory.
Sally, isn’t it fun to watch things all come together? All that apparent randomness in our lives has order. . .
I’m so excited for you Jana! May your time in Georgia exceed your expectations! Give the cousins a hug from me. I look forward to hearing about your experience and all you’ve learned.
Melinda, this wouldn’t be happening without you! Thank you!
