On Beer Cups

These are standard beer cups you can buy here. I never knew they had reliable measurements on them as pictured above!

Renewal of vows

Here is another funny for you today. I am enjoying online youtube church Sundays. Last Sunday a family were renewing their wedding vows after 10 years. They brought their 4 children along for the ceremony. Everyone was masked of course. What I am not happy with is the new blogger. It is so slow making posts on my computer. I think I will avoid the section where you add labels, so slow.

Fresh herbs

 

I thought this one was funny. Friend S stopped by the other day with some fresh basil and mint from her garden. They smelled so good. She has gone back to working at the school now that the year is starting up. She is an administrator.

Paint Party Friday - Rose Leaves

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! I have a pair of Rose Leaves paintings (12" x 12") in acrylic on canvas. I outlined the leaves with a Pentel colour brush. They are ready to hang!

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Still Life

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date! The theme is 'Still Life' and I did an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic. I was going for a neutral black and white colour scheme.

The Get Together

 

This past weekend we were invited to a friend's cottage up north.  It had been rescheduled and planned for months so finally the 6 of us decided we were comfortable to meet for a visit and barbecue.  It was a lovely time but it was very windy that day which made for a very wavy lake.  We decided not to swim.  however the food was delicious and the wine flowed.  

There was a Greek food theme planned.  My Greek appetizer was well received.  The hosting couple barbecued chicken, pork and vegetable shishkebabs.  There was of course a Greek salad and potatoes.  There were cookies, honey cake and fruit for dessert.  

So hopefully we will all be okay.  You never know these days.

Smile Sunset

 

Daughter L sent this photo about a week and a half ago of this smile sunset she captured in cottage country, isn't it amazing?

It was close to midnight that night when she texted "We're Engaged!"  Husband M and I were taken by surprise, as was she.  After a perfect day (see the photo above) where her new fiance had been pampering her at his family cottage, he proposed under the Perseid Meteor showers after they made wishes.  She thought he was just in a good mood (as was she because she loves being pampered), but never suspected her long time boyfriend had chosen this day to propose.  We are so happy for them.

Well we knew there was a ring, just not when it would be given.
