A Smart Mom

 I read this interesting story, about a hardworking waitress who won $5 million dollars in the lottery. I was struck by how well she used the money.

She was a 61 year old single mother of 2 sons.  She paid the boys' mortgages off on condition that they keep working.  She also gave to a favourite charity.  Then she bought this cottage up north for $355,000 in 1996.  It was well enjoyed and 25 years later, now 86 she decided it was time to sell.  The  highest bid for the cottage was $2.55 million!  She will share the money with her boys and their families.  Her boys are lucky to have such a smart hardworking mom and they know it.

Paint Party Friday - Cat Portrait

 It's time for Paint Party Friday.  I did a cat portrait in memory of my sister's cat who was put down in April at 18 years old.  The piece is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/") in pencil.  

It was very sad. He stopped eating and was barely drinking in the last 3 days of his life.  He liked to hunt.  My sister said memories of cat poop, rats, vomit helped her deal with her grief.   Of course her whole family was grieving.  In fact she had asked me not to share this immediately.

I have since coloured the portrait in:
