Ginger, watching you conquer the kitty was inspiring. You struggled and conquered 😅. That is wonderful to watch a professional figure out how to complete a difficult project. You could have taken the cat out but you didn't. You are inspiring to watch. God bless Jon for being so supportive. I love you both.☺️💜

For me painitng small things is harder and for a detailed painting I prefer a larger canvas. But the cat seems to have fit in the end and I appreciated the suggestion even if it was a b....... painting itl LOL

Lovely 😊

Ginger, John, I had a similar encounter in 1977. We were Driving back from Lindsay, California, to Sacramento. It was nighttime when we approached Fresno. Up in the dark sky, we noticed small lights, what it looked like airplane windows when flying at night. These lights where rotating in a circle like a flying saucer. As we continued out trip, We kept watching from the highway this unique event in the sky. The saucer made a very rapid movement and went to the right into the city. We got off the highway and drove into Fresno following these lights. Unfortunately, we lost it and never could find it. It was the following week when I actually read on a newspaper people had reported seeing “UFOs” in Fresno on the same night we saw them. It would be difficult for me to believe a story like this if I didn’t have seen it with my own eyes.

Hi Ginger here are the three stories I have to share about my experiences with the unusual things I have encountered in the skies above. First time. In the 1970’s my husband, brother, our friend and I were driving home from my Mom’s house. Out the car window I saw two lights they were what have been describe as tic tac’s now but that was a name that I would have used. The way they were low in the sky and moving at high speeds one would speed up and go in front of the other one it was like playing leapfrog. They were white light no blinking to indicate planes and the fast pace of them moving one in front of the other was very unusual. We followed them for a while until my husband said it was time to head home. We were in our early 20’s at the time. Second weird sighting in the sky I was with my daughter just leaving my Mom’s house she lived in a different location then. It was a clear summer night with a beautiful full moon. My daughter was looking at the moon and pointed out a white orb that seemed to be moving along the arc at the right side of the moon to the bottom when it suddenly went in a straight line away from the moon. We started our ride home and my daughter followed with her eye as long as she could until it was no longer visible. Very unusual for sure. Third time. This would be about twelve years ago now and again I was with my daughter, husband, and our first granddaughter. We pulled up in the driveway on a summer night is was a clear sky and was getting to dusk. My daughter to the baby out of the back seat and she looked up and pointed out an orb in the sky in the north and a little to the east, it wasn’t high but was in the distance. It was the most brilliant vibrating orb with colour that vibrated in oranges, reds, greens around the edges. I wish I had thought of taking pictures but I would have had to use my SLR camera and probably didn’t have any film. That night I went on line to see if there was any chatter on line about it, but found nothing. I did make a report to MUFON but never heard anything about it. No I’m not crazy I did see these strange sightings in the sky and no I don’t wear a tin foil hat 😂 Hope you enjoy knowing you are not alone in the strangeness. My brother in law he is past now was a police officer and said he saw some things on his night shifts i the sky that he couldn’t explain but never really got into it and understandably so.

I have seen a couple therapists in my day too. I found no value in it. I gave it a go and after just talking about what I felt that they wanted to hear but I never got a single answer. Only things like exercise more, yoga, put on anti-depressents, support groups. I was an alcoholic as well so I can relate. I have been sober for around 14 years but quitting was really hard. I was a bing drinker I guess because I would have long periods of sobriety and then fall off the wagon and GET OUT OF THE WAY. Runs in my family too. I just found out 5 years ago that I have MS. I have had it for about 25 years now. But it explains a lot.

thank you for sharing. I think these story time videos bring up a lot of childhood memories.

Yes, I absolutely did have an encounter with a UFO. My friend and I were driving to go bowling on a country road as we lived in the Pine Barrens of South Jersey. We spy this extremely bright shape up in the sky, seemingly not too far above the tree tops. I have her pullover and stop the car and we get out. Not a sound was it making and it definitely wasn’t moving. It was too bright to discern the shape of it. We just stood there looking up in disbelief and suddenly it zipped away never making a sound. So we went on our way. Suddenly it was back ahead of us about to cross over top of the road and I tried to get her to speed up to get underneath of it so we could see it’s shape but she was afraid of getting sucked up into it. We were dumbfounded. We knew it wasn’t anything that we’d ever seen before and it wasn’t maneuvering like any normal flying object plus it made no sound and hung in the air perfectly still. When we got to the bowling alley we called the AirBase nearby and asked about it. They took our report but claimed it wasn’t anything of theirs. I told my parents when I got home about our experience and a few days later my Mom came to me all excited because there was an article in the paper about 4 people who had seen the exact same thing on the same night about 40 miles away.

0:12 I have an alien story I think. It’s a hard one to explain but I will try.on September of this year I saw out my living room window a set of Christmas lights in the shape of a saucer. The top sets of lights would lift up but still a set of lights remained on the saucer. Then it would go down again to join the other lights there. I watched it for quite a while. Then when out on my balcony and watched it move to the right of me, roughly a block away. The lights became a zigzag then. But I also heard an airplane engine idling from it. Not sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Or if the chemo treatment was messing with me. Either way it was quite interesting to see. Look online the next day to see if anything was reported but there was nothing.

Well on Mondays we do a FREE painting tutorial. We have an online art school which has over 700 step by step tutorials with Personal art coaching, where our red and purple members can send me in their art work as they are painting it or when finished for helpful suggestions. The STORY TIME paintings are pre-sold and are non tutoirals. I could paint them at home, but we decided to do a Story Time session as I paint these. We have over 400 FREE tutorials on You Tube and add them every Monday. So no, this is just Story Time. If you are looking to learn to paint check out my play lists on my home KZread page or pop over to our website. www.paintingwithginger.com where I teach the skills to do these type of art works, portraits, oceans and waves and other techniques from beginning to advanced art skills.
