…..long weekends really mess up my schedule
This week has been an emotional roller coaster. Our youngest daughter and her family have moved to their new home in Moncton, New Brunswick. We are very excited for them because they are home owners for the the first time but also sad because they are so far away (over 1500 kilometres away).
Kevin has continued staying busy with his weekly drawings so I couldn’t not post them.
….when Tonguely found out that Winnie and the family were moving to New Brunswick he decided to stow away in the back of the truck
….Wacky Bird reminds us that it is also National Self Care Awareness Month
Take time to look after yourself. This wacky bird is treating herself to a massage later today.
….last Saturday was all those things and Saturday Sloth was a little more animated than normal
It was a wonderful birthday that ended up spreading over three days with family and friends dropping by for wine and food. Thanks for all the lovely flowers and gifts but most of all your company.
…every week my husband draws a Monster Monday for the grandkids but I think the adults like them just as much if not more
….not literally
This week it’s been so hot that my husband didn’t think he could come up with a wacky bird. He decided to do a very quick sketch and apply watercolour without too much detail. When he finished the first painting he was so pleased with how quickly it came together and he decided to make another one. He ended up making four wacky birds in total and quickly realized that his inner Quentin Blake had been summoned. If you’re a fan of Roald Dahl books you’ll know what I mean.
When I go to the cottage for a few days I seem to struggle getting my posts out and then when I come home I have so many emails to read that I fall even further behind. So I’m posting the last three paintings that Kevin did for Wacky Bird Wednesday, TGIFFF (Tonguely) and Sloth Saturday all in one post.
…not sure if this monster ate something bad or what?
….Egghead is Winnie’s name for him
A little different from previous monsters because Kevin is experimenting with digital art. This was done freehand with the mouse.
….yesterday my husband and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary
Whenever I tell people how long Kevin and I have been married they always gasp in wonderment. Don’t get me wrong it hasn’t always been wine and roses but we’ve always worked together as partners and when things were tough we didn’t give up on each other. Not only do we love each other but we truly like each other. That became very apparent during the lockdowns with COVID. It’s amazing how many couples found it difficult to be together 24/7.
The last twelve years have been difficult for Kevin with all his health issues but he keeps on ticking and keeps trying new diets and medications. Right now he looks fantastic and if you saw him yesterday you’d have no idea that he is suffering from several chronic ailments. The key word here is chronic, so he has good days and some bad days. Luckily I’ve stayed relatively healthy and my biggest issue is how much my weight fluctuates up and down (mostly up). Kevin always says he loves me at any weight but when I do try to lose weight he is also very supportive.
