CD's

The Gordon Lightfoot cd is "The Best of Gordon Lightfoot", and it's the only one of his that I have.  I hate to see it go, but the breaks etc are just too annoying.

Poulin's will be back Friday.  And nothing was said about paying for it.  Fingers crossed!  I had been concerned about them maybe wanting to come on Wednesday, when the meeting is here, but things have worked out well.

The "Junco" piece is finished and posted on the other blog.  I'm well pleased with it and have now hung it in the upstairs studio.  While I've chosen the next group of mono-prints to work with, I need a piece for the exhibition in November, so have to give that priority.  It will involve working from another picture from the lake, this time one of the old summer kitchen/old shed. Loren gave me permission to use it.  He called on Sunday, and mentioned that they had also sent a cd of the lake pictures to Sheila's sister in the States.  She is an artist, and has painted a picture from one of the photos.  They are having a big family reunion here for the 150th anniversary, during the July 1st weekend, as the entire family originally came from the area.  She plans to bring the picture for Loren, as a birthday present.  Sure hope she didn't pick the same picture.  It's very nice composition, so who knows.

Loren also mentioned that Gillian is graduating from high school this month, and has been accepted into Political Science/pre-law, at the University of Winnipeg, for the fall semester.  I know the program there is excellent, and she should do well.  Jeremy is still enjoying his job at the furniture manufacturing company, and has advanced from general "gofer", to working as a packer in the shipping department.  Given all the problems he has had, since birth, it is wonderful to hear that he is happy, and moving on in his life.  What mixed feelings to see them grow so quickly, but also feeling pride at recognizing them as young adults!

The lady in red is now stealing all of the hang tags we're finding on our mail box these days--and there have been a few of them.  They are made of card stock, and she's making a game of trying to see how many larger hexagons she can cut out of each one.  The record is up to 4.  Interesting to find out that a white fabric pen will write on shiny black card stock.
