Hi Patricia..It is Alishas' birthday today so we had more cake here..!!!!!  Yikes we need a break..!!  First painting to my friends is done the second one for them is in the works a couple more weeks and it will be done..Maybe sooner..   Alishas' painting is up next. She does not need hers until she closes down the daycare and moves it to a B&B ..  That will be in mid September.. So I will start on in by mid May..There is also a couple that I want to paint for myself..  I really like to paint whatever I want..LOL..LOL..  Rashad has not had much contact from his grandma, but they are still looking at moving him down closer to her..She is really having a hard time coming up Island every couple of weeks.. It is a long trip by bus..Takes about 7 hours each way.. So she has asked that he come down to her..And that relly does make sense.. 

Love your photo's, always wanted to go to Osborne House, and you had great weather x

I'm pleased you had a good break.  I'm doing fine, thanks and have finished with doctor's tests for the time being so can concentrate on fun things to do.  Our Mindful Doodling sessions started again today (watercolour pencils landscapes) and I have a busy bank holiday weekend planned. x

Hi Patricia..Seems I got side tracked yesterday and did not get back to you..Hope you have a wonderful time on your coach trip..!!!  Think of me..!!!  Am painting the second painting for my friends and once that one is done I will start on Alishas' .. It will be fine..Just big..!!!1  And yes that is exactly what she is looking for a true Picture window..  Also letting people know what the beach looks like.. She is only 2 blocks off the beach.. So people new to town who have not been here before can have a look at how lovely it is..!!  Have so much fun and talk to you when you get back..Am looking forward to your photos on F/B..  Loads of Love and Hugs..XXXx
