A freebie

 

I got this free iced tea sample in the mail.  They usually mail a free coupon but it was fun to receive it anyway. It also came with a $2 coupon off a 12 pack carton.

A birthday celebration

 

Daughter L celebrated her birthday near the end of last month.  I made her a chocolate cake and her hubby got her a personal sized strawberry shortcake along with some gourmet chocolates.  We also went out for a nice dinner.  Grandson C was waving at all the waiters and the customers in the restaurant as we walked down the aisles and they waved back!

It is the Victoria Day long weekend here, enjoy!

Friday Art

 

This is a bighorn sheep ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil.  It showed up on my laptop screensaver and I wanted to draw those magnificent horns.
