Just Believe
I recently purchased this cute little plaque from Sophia at Blue Chair Diary
and it arrived safely in the mail last week and thought I would share it with you!
The other day I paid a bill in the mail with a cheque that I suspected I had forgotten to sign. So much for efficiency. Of course, it was returned for that very reason, so I hurried to the bank to pay it again, just before the due date. Simply maddening behaviour! Whenever I rush to do things, I always seem to mess up somehow. I won't blame middle age! My girlfriend told me that the banks will now accept online bill payments for other banks. So I will try that next time. The less cheques that have to be written the better.
The town summer festival was rained out for Saturday morning. My girlfriend and I braved the thunderstorm with our umbrellas and got a good soaking as we walked through the stalls that morning. The parade did take place and I should've taken a photo of the colourful clowns with their own umbrellas. It cleared up beautifully in the afternoon, so I'm sure the vendors were much happier too.
Sunday was just a beautiful day.

Sunday Sketches - Audi A7
Hello and welcome to Sophia's Sunday Sketches. I drew an Audi A7 that is being advertised a lot in the newspapers. I was attracted to its sleek, smooth lines. It's a $99,000 (CDN) car, I think, so not quite in the budget anytime soon! But it's just gorgeous don't you think? Let me include the real thing here, so you can really appreciate it. It's probably not a good idea to try to re-create such a precision vehicle, unless you're a real 'car' illustrator.
Time to go see what everyone else did today!

Sweet Saturdays - Fruit Cobbler
Welcome to Diana's Sweet Saturdays.
The Southern Lady recently published a recipe for 'yummy blueberry dump cake'. It looked so easy, I immediately tried it using the ingredients I had on hand. Here's my version, I loved it! Thanks Judy!
1 cup raspberries
2 cups blueberries
1 (20 ounce) can sliced peaches in juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 box Duncan Hines Devil's Food Cake Mix
3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Rinse berries and pour into bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Pour peach slices and juice over the berries. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Spoon cake mix evenly over the fruit mixture. Drizzle the melted butter over all. DO NOT STIR. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes until top is brown and cake is bubbly. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!

Paint Party Friday - The Spill
Hello and welcome to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday. I'm calling this sketch 'the spill'. I was hurrying down the stairs the other day and a tub of yogurt spilled out of my hands and burst open. Yes, it's strawberry yogurt and it was a horrible spill, lol. What else could I do, I took a photo of it before I quickly wiped it up.
Let's go see what the others did today.

Drowning doesn't look like drowning.
'This enlightening article on what drowning looks like may change the way you watch your children the next time they go swimming.'
We're having wonderful summer weather this week. The step class instructor at the gym says her 91 year old father in law will be visiting for a week from the east coast. His 75 year old friend is doing the driving. It sounds as if they live in a wonderful retirement community with lots of friends and an independent lifestyle.
Yesterday a friend and I went for a walk and lunch to celebrate her upcoming 50th birthday, and we treated each other as my birthday is also coming up later this month. It was good to have a nice chat, walking with the summer wind blowing through our hair.
