Happy Little Trees

Early in March, 15 wonderful friends - including two new friends we met that night - sent a few hours after a long day painting happy little trees at Paint Misbehavin' in Hudson. The owners were fabulous and made us all feel very welcome as we were expertly guided in reporoducing a painting - Gates Pond Walk.



We had wine, sweets, conversation and much good spirit and love in the room. And in the end we all went home with some very nice artwork.


In addition to a wonderful time had by all, 25% of the registration fees for the night went to the Boomer Esiason Foundation! Thanks to everyone who came out on a work/school night to make the evening special.
