Yesterday I painted all day to make my mother her "requested" painting. She is into that Tuscan feel and the painting is already hung in her kitchen. I wish all the mothers out there a happy day for doing a thankless task in your society. You are of great value and is the glue that truly holds our families together.

Here was page two of the same trip. Only got to go once, but, I wanted to go back. It felt just like England to me with the beautiful hanging baskets hanging on all the posts. Gorgeous views with water surrounding you on all sides. They also had the neighborhood eating houses with the best breakfasts but, thank God, NO blood sausages. The totem poles and painted houses reminded me of Alaska. Note to self: go back when I go back to Alaska.

3 May 2009

The first weekend of May and no Mayfest. That is a oddity here in Texas. Of course there were lightening and rain but, Mayfest is ready for those, but nothing can compete with the flu. I were thru pictures and found some travel ones from Victoria Canada. Love that place and some if the best raw oysters I remember. I also remember repacking suitcases to get a HUGE book of knots home. Man, it was heavy getting it to the airplane.
