Introducing...

Here is Jason and his new Mexican bonita Blanca! She is wonderful. They are both visiting this week and came with some exciting news! They are engaged! We are so delighted. Blanca is a wonderful woman - and met Jason onboard the Doulos ship.
It has been a fun few days, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the family.



Also we welcome Matthias Elias...our cousin Rina and her husband Carl had a beautiful baby boy this week. He sure is a cutie pie, very peaceful, and sleepy. What a wonderful celebratory week we are having!

Angie, have I taught you NOTHING??? YOu simply do NOT put picture of your (cutie pie) hubby holding that (cutie pie) baby unless you WANT that can of worms and all the questions FLYING at you. Seriously, either I didn't teach you well or you have an annoucnement of your own pending. And if it's the second you better tell me personally.

But don't you think it would be really cool to make an announcment like that on her blog? Isn't that the way it's done these days?

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place....

The Big 3- Oh!

Image
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
