Today is Alesa's birthday and she was greeted this morning by Olaf, the 'Frozen' snowman, on the counter sitting on her present. She has been talking about trying watercolors and has tried to sign up for courses, but, alas, there are none at the present time. The Lifelong Learning College had decided to shutdown since being sued for not supplying a signer for every deaf student. Another group has filled the void but it is developing very slowly, a few classes at a time, and it will be quite a while, if ever, that they reach the class levels offered by the LLC. Now the Artiste' in Alesa can try all art mediums so she can select one for more professional equipment. Happy Birthday!
