Thanksgiving was great!

We drove to TN. Dropped the kids off at Grandma's. Then we got up the next day and drove to Asheboro, NC where we stayed the night and then got up and drove to Seagrove. We saw a pottery festival (really more a convention of potters.) Then we drove to Star, NC and saw the Starworks cafe and gallery and glass blowing! Then Sunday we drove to Cookeville and stayed the night. Monday we drove back to Jackson,  TN. Wednesday and Thursday I put up an awning over Sue's front porch. We had a great Thanksgiving feast and finished the awning. Friday we drove home.

Harold Hollingsworth project

My students at GHS created a project inspired by Harold Hollingsworth. Here's the results

YouTube Channel so far

So I have been YouTubing since 2007.
I got monetized (monetized means making money from the videos) around the middle of 2012, but I didn't do it for the money I just accepted the opportunity.
I was sent an email in 2018 saying they were raising the bar and if I wanted to stay monetized I had to jump through new hoops. I didn't think I could make time for it so I ignored it. then a few weeks went by and I decided their email was a personal challenge.
I was also impressed with Peter Draws YouTube channel format. He makes art and monologues over it. super simple yet effective.
So I went all in. I started making videos almost daily.
I didn't reach the thresholds before they demonetized me but I kept working and a little over a year later got remonetized.
that was beginning of June 2019.
I have continued to make videos and trying to put out helpful content regarding Art and art projects. I am at around 2,630 subscribers and almost 400 videos. I average around 583 views a day
My most popular videos this month are "P.R.E.P.A.R.E.", "The Elements and Principles", "Negative Space Project", and Honing Your Shading Skills"

RISK

I AM TIRED. My dad came in today from Florida. Besides just the normal chatting, and eating dinner we also played a few games of "ring toss" ( a version of ring toss that's a lot like horseshoes with points and everything) and then after dinner, we started playing RISK. RISK is crazy. one minute you dominate all of Africa, the next you are obliterated from the face of the continent! we started too late but it is almost midnight and we decided to start fresh in the morning. left the board where it lay after taking a picture of it for security reasons. lol.
