Painting in Florida

I’ve participated in a couple of open art sessions and finished two paintings. The watercolour is from a photograph of my grandson, Oliver when he was two. The day was a special memory because we had a small gathering to spread Justine’s ashes in the memorial garden. The name painting is done in acrylic paint… Read More Painting in Florida

On Being Ginger

I have strawberry blonde hair. It’s always been controversial because I identify as a red head, yet people argue that my hair isn’t red. I come from a long line of gingers on both sides of my family so I was not alone. I am the only red-head I’m my immediate family and neither of… Read More On Being Ginger

Oliver and Me

I’ve been enjoying a week with my grandson, Oliver at my house. He’s three and a half and full of energy. I keep him busy all day at parks and playgroups and in the evening, I’m tired. It’s a good tired feeling. When we lost our daughter (and sister) Justine four and a half years… Read More Oliver and Me

Oooooo..Pretty!

My grandson, Oliver is 2 1/2 and has spoken in complete sentences for months now. He’s small for his age and it’s funny to see people’s reactions when he carries on entire conversations. People literally crank their heads and stare. He was visiting this weekend. It’s our ritual to go next door and play on… Read More Oooooo..Pretty!

Alphabet Soup Challenge-Zest

I’m looking after my grandson, Oliver this week while his day care provider is on vacation. Today we walked down to the park beside the lake. Oliver likes to “ride” his bike. It’s the kind of bike that he sits in and an adult pushes it, like a stroller. I do enjoy the walk through… Read More Alphabet Soup Challenge-Zest
