Turning Senior

I recently turned 55 and it means I will be able to enjoy certain senior's day specials such as
ones offered at this drug store on the last Thursday of the month.  (It may be every Thursday.)

I remembered I hadn't returned a friend's email the other day and decided to phone her.  She didn't even remember that I hadn't returned her email, lol.  During the conversation we both had trouble remembering what day it was.  She was saying her sister had returned from her Cuba trip on Tuesday and was trying to remember which Tuesday it was exactly because she wanted to give her a call.  Then we figured out it was Thursday which meant her sister had just returned home 2 days ago.  My friend is 2 years older than me, lol (or maybe not so funny!).

Sunday Sketches - Modern Fireplace

This is a piece done in my art journal (7"h x 5"w) in watercolour pencils. I hope you can see the contemporary fireplace in the background behind the flowers.  I added it as an afterthought, thinking it would make the picture more interesting.  Happy Sunday Sketches!

Lol

It's the Canada Day long weekend.  Many people have taken Monday off work as the actual Canada Day is July 1st, so it will be an extra long weekend for them perhaps to spend at their cottages up North.

Lavender, Grey and Plum

Linking to Summer of Color and Paint Party Friday.

All Hairdressers

This is making the internet rounds under the caption 'All hairdressers should have these', lol.

Daughter L had a great first day at work yesterday.  She thought her boss was nice and also liked her
co-workers.  There will be a learning curve as she goes through some training but she is prepared to work hard.  She wanted me to take a photo of her going out to her first day on the job.  I sent the photo to some friends with the caption 'first day on the job'.  One friend replied '40 more years to go', I thought that was funny, maybe not!

Son K went bowling with some friends and has discovered he is good at bowling.  He is a tennis player and it seems to use the same skills, being able to line up the ball...hmm.

A sign of the times

I got this one from Martha the other day, lol, too true.

It's my daughter L's first day on her new job today, she is very nervous and at the same time excited. She is not a student anymore, but a full-time working adult.

We will be having the interior of our house painted in early July, it's been too many years. So saying, I am not looking forward to the upheaval. It shouldn't take more than a week I'm hearing. We are just keeping the same 'builder's beige' colour scheme.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Rhubarb is in season and I bought this strawberry rhubarb pie from the grocery store. Rhubarb has a tart taste, but this pie is delicious with a sweet taste as well!  It's worth knowing that the rhubarb leaves are poisonous.
