What One Does on a Rainy Saturday

for us it included painting, walking and cooking

Last Saturday the forecast was very wet for most of the day. In between downpours I did manage to get out for a walk and snap a few photos.

When I returned from my walk I set up my art table to get ready for some more painting. Only 7 more sleeps before my solo show.

Kevin on the hand got into complete ‘chef’ mode and made empanadas from scratch.

Monday Monster – Two for the Price of One

Kevin forgot to send me last week’s monster so I have two to show you today

Both drawings were done on Procreate.

Last week’s monster looks a bit too happy for a Monday morning but not all of Kevin’s monsters are grumpy or mean.

Carrying On a Running Tradition

46 years ago Kevin ran in this race and yesterday our daughter took part at the High Park Spring Run Off Race

Back in the day my husband was an elite runner. When the kids were little we used to bundle them up, strap them into their car seats and drive off to races all over Ontario and New York State. One of the races that was closer to home was the High Park Spring Run Off. When it first started back in 1978 it attracted an impressive 1200 runners and yesterday’s race saw over 5000 men, women and children running in the 8k, 5k and children’s race.

This is not the first year that our daughter, Andrea ran in this race but it was certainly her best performance. She placed 1st in her age category for women. Kevin and I arrived after the race started but we managed to find a prime spot just at the top of the hill so we had a great vantage point for taking photos and caught her just steps in front of the finish line.
