For Thuy’s birthday in May, instead of our usual dinner, we thought we would do something different.  Theresa organized this great outing, Paint and Wine night, last Sunday for us.  She and Julie also arranged and picked up our dinner for all of us as well.  When we arrived at the studio, our party was the only group which was great.  We first spent some time eating and catching up.  Half an hour later, the painting portion began; for the next two hours, the instructor led us steps by steps to complete our painting.  The process was fun, and it was quite therapeutic to me.  At the end, all of us had made a beautiful wonderful painting.  When I came home, the boys liked my painting too.
