The world is a little less colorful today.

What a fun night!  This week I was invited to participate in a Paint & Party sponsored by Brookdale Ten Oaks as a way to raise money for the SW Oklahoma Walk to End Alzheimer's. I may be a creative person, but when it comes to a brush and canvas, I am totally lost.  Luckil...
