Beautiful day for a picnic and Sepia Saturday

 Everything is ready to go for today's picnic on the SCN Nazareth Campus.

 Booths and stands stand ready to be filled with fun things to help raise money for all the ministries of the
Sister of Charity of Nazareth.
Village II all decorated and ready to welcome visitors to the campus.






Some of the Villagers enjoying the sunny weather.




Stop and say hello to Tom and Gracie.


Gotta go help get things started.



I thought I was going to have to bypass Sepia Saturday but as I was preparing my post about the picnic I am involved in at Nazareth, I came across this old photo of The Auditorium and Library building at the old Nazareth College.

This is the building show above that was converted to the Village II complex that is there today.

No changes outside but many inside.
I could not find the date of the erection of this building but it was added a few years after the initial building erected in 1817.


No building ever stands vacant very long on this campus. 
SCN always respond to the needs of the community whatever they may be.
Once the college closed in the early 1970's immediate plans were underway to utilize these building for a retirement center.

As regulars to my blog know I am constantly using photos from this place and since I will be here most of the day it is perfect for SS.

Go here for more SS.

Doing my Thing Day-Oil Painting?


Oil Painting?
Well that was a question, for sure.
I have only had one session of oil painting classes.

 This is not the one I have been working on in class.

This is an 8x10 I did at home.
I must admit it looks better on the computer than in real life.
 I am happy with the background, not happy with the tree.
But I am not sure I really enjoy oil painting.
It is a pretty messy job and takes forever to dry.
Well I will just paint until my oil paints run out,I only have small tubes, then I will decide.




Progress on the items for the summer picnic craft booth.


 
One red, white and blue clutch purse.


Clutch purse with phone case or whatever one wants to use it for.

I am now working on one from yellow and black bags now.
Now that I have the styles decided on, I should make good time now.
The picnic is in July.
