Tipsy

Wm has been working all week on a coaster for Steve at Clubhouse. It's hilarious. He drew various alcoholic bottles on it and wrote "TIPSY" in the bottom right corner. Steve has a glass of wine at dinner occasionally, and one or two beers if we are going to a pub, but that's it. So we are all confused about how TIPSY represents Steve. Of course, Steve has to act like it's the best thing he has ever seen in his entire life, but he's mostly just confused. (Also, we can't even figure out where Wm heard the term "tipsy" - which is hilarious). The Cluhouse teachers must think Steve is an alcoholic. 

Tipsy Steve

Steve has to work tomorrow morning, so we celebrated Father's Day with him today. We had planned to go to the pool and lay around, maybe play a little tennis, go for a walk, hit up the farmer's market. Except we woke up and a biblical rain was falling. Steve joked he would start gathering animals in twos. We saw our neighbor lugging bucket after bucket of water out of his house and dumping them into the street. Luckily, our basement remains fairly dry. The sump pump has been working overtime! Because of the rain, we went to the Clay Cafe and painted cool things (inside!)

Pondering color schemes

Having a great time!!

Finished cup! Ready to be fired and glazed!

I didn't take any pictures of Steve because, sadly, he was not pleased with his work. He grumbled the whole time about how the reality of his paintings was not as awesome as his vision. (It was, honestly, pretty bad. heehee.) I'm hoping after firing and glazing it will be better so Steve will feel good about it!!

Afterwards, we went to the Fish Market for dinner and stopped off on the way home so Steve could get a fancy dessert of his choosing. Even with all the rain, it was a pretty fun day!!

WORD.
