30 Paintings in 30 days
 

Day 22
 

Sometimes you are out and get a pleasant surprise. Often times when least expected. Today was one of those exceptional days.
 

I'm an honourable member of the Brown Bag Society affectionately called, the BBS by those of us in the know.
 

We are few, but very special.
 

We meet once a month and gain entry by flashing our brown bags. It's a code key. Things are good if you can read the code but not when you can't.
 

Some of you, like me, will immediately know that a brown bag was one those brown paper bags you took your school lunch in.
 

If you were rich you had a new bag every day. If you weren't, you were admonished to bring that bag home every day. A thrifty mom could make one bag go a long way.
 

Today my brown bag contained a hearty nourishing soup made by yours truly.
 

The pleasant surprise was how good company can add spice to even a bland soup. Before I knew it I was done. Sometimes you just need a big spoon to get every drop of intelligent conversation in the bowl in front of you.
 

Today I needed a big spoon.
 
Here's today's treasure
