Crazy Two Weeks!

Wow, it's been a while since I updated the blog. A lot has happened in the last two weeks. Dad came to visit a couple of weeks ago. He arrived the day after Father's Day. It was super fun, we went to Strawberry Bank in Portsmouth, which is the historic part of the town, something like King's Landing. Or Colonial Williamsburg. We also went to the Flume near Franconia in the White Mountains.


We drove up to Fredericton and I was there for a couple of days. Then I drove back with Stephanie. She stayed with us for 3 days. She painted and hung out and saw a bit of Durham, and then she took the bus back home.

On Sunday we started moving our stuff downstairs to Mike and Kim's old apartment in the basement. We cleaned it all up and started decorating, and I must say, it looks really spiffy now. It's a quirky little apartment and it's definitely the basement (no forgetting that) but it's looking really nice and homey. The kitchen is currently my favorite room, I'll put a picture up soon. But the living room and bedroom are well on their way to being very nice and cozy rooms too.

And somewhere in all of the craziness, we adopted a dog. Cayo is the newest member of our little family. She's definitely a handful, and has a lot of energy. She's a two year old shar-pei mix. Whatever the mix is, it's something smaller than her, because she's full grown, and smaller than a full grown shar-pei.

Steph's paintings at the Beaverbrook


Here are a couple of Steph's paintings that are at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton. The top one is called 'The Biker' and the bottom one is a self portrait called 'Hands in Hair'. She is so talented! Nice work Steph.

Steph's painting


Wow, I just found out (by reading my mom's blog!) that my sister, Steph, has a painting that's going to a gallery in Winnipeg! Very cool. I guess she's also sold a couple more and has been commissioned to do another painting for someone. She's moving out of her place in Freddy Beach, and is headed for Sackville for the summer (that's where she went to school, at Mount Allison). The above painting is of Dad, and it's not the one that is going to Winnipeg, but it's the only one that I could get to load properly. It is probably my favorite though, I really like what she did with the reflections in the glass cabinet in the background.
