Sunday was mothers day,  although we had plans I received a e mail from my
cousins son Logan, telling us he was playing an exhibition game - mothers day eve at 8 - at the rogers centre! In case we were interested...
!! How could we not be interested!?
We ended up spending mothers day down in the city and watched the best baseball game I've ever seen at the rogers centre - if I do say so myself  & they won.

It was a wonderful day and I am incredibly proud of Logan! He is such a fine young man, very well grounded and  polite, smart, handsome & kind.  Do what you love and it shows. We met family,  had many laughs, peanuts, baseballs catches! Logan's Grandma Jeannie- caught him a baseball! She dove for it like a PRO I might add!! lol  It was, by far one of the best mothers day yet!  

I have to say it is Logan and his sister Sierra who have made me stronger this past year, they both inspired me. Every day they move forward and  they are two very strong, loving beings on this plant - and it is a better place because of them.  They have had an incredibly difficult time the past year and they have risen above in love and are stronger better people because of it.   I'm sure they have no clue how much they truly mean to me,  just seeing them make my heart beat faster. I love them.   
They keep me inspired and going.

Jim was there in spirit and in all our hearts and on all our minds, I've no doubts.

* I am currently very busy, painting a positive "cannabis vibe" painting, a bee house, bee logo- finally and more.. I am beyond excited with the projects coming up in the next few weeks/months - I can hardly contain myself!  Designing a new AWESOME  postcard for something very special! Hee hee hee.. top secret! 
The time is NOW to focus on what I want and make it happen... all good stuff!
Surrounded by only those  I enjoy, love and make me happy!
The rest can, well lets say... they can stay where they are.
Not my problem. Not my circus not my monkeys.  I like that one! I should draw it.
I am moving forward,  onward and upward. lol   YeeeHaaa!!  

Lets the fun begin - I am ready to play on this giant playground called Earth. 

A few photos from the day!

I feel stronger about this Easter and what it stands for than  I did only a year ago. 

I asked the guys if they wouldn't mind staying home this Easter even though we were invited to the 'family dinner - actually, I said I was staying home but they could go - lol -it did not go as planned... so, I painted  eggs to give to a very 'select few', purchased a new everyday tablecloth,  Norm  helped clean - we picked up some tulips and  Easter dinner  (cooked and catered by mom) was  terrific. Perfect. 

​It  was a peaceful day... leading up to a mini Spring break. 
I've decided to take some time to read and draw, think and draw... spend time with Jesus- as I become less religious.  This Rosary you see is my meditation.  
I sleep with it wrapped around my hand and wake up with it still there many mornings. 
Think what you want- I don't care, it brings me peace.  
It reminds me that miracles happen every second of every day, inspired by LOVE.
Time again to Go within, with Buddha and past time with Poppy as spring gets closer to becoming summer. 

I can't promise I will keep up the blog the next few weeks, I only have a short allowance for internet time, I can promise I will be keeping very creative!
I will post one  'image' a day if nothing else, but this won't include original art work- some of it is top secret at the moment,  a few gifts I don't want people to know about yet...  a couple pieces taking a while to complete and a NEW project -  I'm not at liberty to discuss - yet.  ;) The days are getting longer and I am getting busier!  Amen.

Last night Storm treated us to a  amazing mushroom meal! He reserved online a few weeks ago and it was a good thing he did! It was a full house!  The Mycological  Society had its first Spring Meal' and what a feast it was! 
Storm and I became members earlier this year and it has been  an adventure every time, this would be the first 'social event' to sample some of the most interesting specimens on our plates.  We arrived early and  has some wine, it was the first time in days we have actually just sat and relaxed and were celebrating...  life. 
From start to finish every course was  delicious, each with a different mushroom. Add a table full (a room full) of wonderful people, all there with a passion for the same thing and the entire evening was a hit!  
We will  return to the restaurant in a heart beat! 

The next thing I know, I've an artist beside me - who also knows about Musky fishing! LOL Could we have had a better seating partner!?  It turns out Storm knows her brother - it is such a small world.  The couple across from me, retired and loving every second as she paints & he hunts for mushrooms! You would not believe some of the paintings! Cows, chickens and more. lol. The evening was perfect.  I am looking forward to the next meeting! I AM looking forward to the next meal! LOL - Storm said- It's his treat!  I love my son.

I was at a restaurant with my 22year old son - his treat for mothers day. 
How could it be anything else but perfect?  

Have Faith
