I WAS LOOKING AT MY HAIR in the mirror. “I think I might need a touch-up,” I noted to my husband, Peter. “Hmmm,” Peter replied, without looking up. (Which means, “If you think so honey. I honestly believe you might be able to hold off a week!” I can always count on Peter for a thoughtful response.)

CANADIAN RIVER ART ACADEMY

It was another quiet week; the cold weather is keeping our travelers down. The student art exhibit has been judged, and the top prize winners are on special exhibit.

Judge George Briant brought out the big guns with his program this week. Jason Abraham, owner of Rotor Recoil, enlightened club members on his newest venture that involves a Robinson R44 helicopter, Larue SUURG Tactical Rifles, military grade .556 ammunition, and 90 targets spread across 11,000 acres of Mendota Ranch.
