What's Libby Lehman Doing Now?

Ricky just received an e-mail from Libby Lehman's husband, Lester. It's pretty amazing what Libby is doing now.

Libby may not be quilting anymore but she may be a budding oil painting artist - this was first painting in art class she started today. She had a great time and is looking forward to going back next Wednesday. - Lester
