I have not seen the size of t he wooden canvas in person yet, but have a feeling it is going to be impressively HUGE..!!!!!!  Will continue to work on my own until it is built..I do paint fast enough that I can probably get it done in 6 weeks..So really have plenty of time.. See what Costco has for a premade dinner for tomorrow.. They have huge meals that normally I do not buy .. Hope you cool down a bit soon..!!!  Have picked up a cough the last couple of days..Think it must be elementry school germs..I am immune to most of the other ones..!!  Hope you have a lovely day..So glad you did not roast at Church ..!!!  Loads of Love and Hugs and I still can not get into Words with friends.I can get into Lex though..XX

Hi Patricia..We all went for a walk this morning..Well 3 kids and me.  They seem to like it and we ran into some guys who were doing some salmon monitoring on the spawning channel..They were super kid to the kids and explained how the trapped the little smolt..kind of put them to sleep while they weighed and measured them and then how they revived them enough to go back into the channel ..So we were late getting back to the car..  Erny and I went  to the Crows' Nest, but is was screaming busy so we took a craft and headed out..Brought it home for the kids to do here..  I made hamburgers for everyone and now I am tired..!!!!  Need to get some house work done..5 kids are messy..!!!!!!!!  And they make loads of laundry..Just in case you did not guess..!!!  We are heading off to Costco tomorrow..Think with all the kids I need to restock..!!! 

Hoping to get in another walk tomorrow morning..Taking the kids as well..They spend too much time on their little games.  It is suppose to rain and cool right off by Monday..Am not unhapy about that..!!!!  Garden needs watering here..The hummingbirds are eating me oout of house and home..LOL..The kids as well..!!!!  The hummers are just starting to come back..We have some that over Winter here, but I only have a couple and now the Rufus hummers are coming back from where ever they spend the Winter so have both now.  Soon they will all be nesting here. Always lovely to see them..One little cheeky guy came right up to the kitchen window when the feeder was empty..LOL..   I should hang them closer to the window, but afraid the cats will take interest in them.. .. Hope you are warm in Church tomorrow..!!!!!!  Have a lovely day..Loads of Love and Hugs..Xx

Hi Patricia..That is way to hot for me..!!  Do you use a fan to keep cool..??  There was a great hack that I saw and if you do ..You take 2 water bottles fill them with water and freeze them..Then use elastics and attach them to the outside of the fan and turn it on.!!!  Apparently it works really good..!!  I use to use a basin with fronen milk containers full of water and put it un front of the fan to cool the bedrooms off..  Well there is my DYI for the day..!!!  I took the kids with me for my walk this morning..They all had a great time..We looked around for the berry patches ..The Thimblberries this year are all over..They are my favorites..and it seem to be a bumper crop this year..Be the bear are also keeping a watch on them..!!!    Hoping he shares..!!  Am well on my way with the new paintng.. do have to do the huge painting for Alisha pretty soon..We are having the frame built and then sealled..Not sure if I will be able to trasport it  back and forth to the Crows' Nest though..Will have to see if it fits into the car back..!!   If not I will just have to set up something here at the house.  Not sure what we will do at the Art Gallery..The kids still want to go.
