cabin fun

This weekend I went up to my cabin with my family, and my sister's friend (all of you were busy...grrr I had to survive them alone) it was lots of fun, although it was a bit rainy. I had to finish my painting for art class, so I took it along to work on. Now I'm guessing when most of you bring your art work home, you get lots of compliments on how pretty it looks and what a great job you've done. I immediately got a lecture on how my perspective was off, how I could fix it, and the inadequate ways that I had mixed my paint. And not only from my dad, the art teacher, but my mom as well! (She has to use her art major somewhere, and I am fortunate enough to be the recipient.) When I started to set up my stuff at the dinning room table (the only flat surface in the cabin besides the floor mind you), I was told that the area was unventilated, and that one should never use highly toxic acrylic paint in close proximity to an eating area! grragh! Anyway, I finished my painting and it looks very pretty, and I see nothing wrong with my perspective or brush strokes. On Saturday night, my parents taught us how to play Sheep's Head. Its a very complicated card game with trump and partners and points stuff. It is very fun though, and I beat my mom who has been playing much longer then I have. I also played double solitaire with my sister and her friend (they worked together as a team, and I still beat them) They refused to play triple solitaire sadly, because that even better then double solitaire, but not quite as good as quadruple. Unfortunately, AP Lang Comp vocab studying and math homework are calling (yes it is late, but where would the world be with out procrastinators)

Cabin fun! I'm sure you painting was lovely. You'll have to take a picture of it so I can see it and show your family how you're supposed compliment.
