April 2014 was a busy month !
Full of beautiful people that I love
and experiences I will cherish always !
I made a girlfriend trip with my dear Linda to Saratoga Springs, NY,
where we saw, savored, stitched, spoke, listened and enjoyed.
I had a return visit from my sweet Jayden boy and his Momma !
He’s getting so big and strong ! Love those guys and miss having them close !
David and I traveled to Montreal for an Easter, Katie turns 6, we’re moving to Florida party, lovingly hosted by my sister, Natalie.
Lots of tears on my part, knowing I will be so far from my family soon.
But lots of joys too, as there always is when we spend time together as a family.
One of the best moments was watching Miss Katie ride her new big girl bike, a gift from us, without training wheels ! She is awesome !
Then David and I flew to Tampa, FL, for a whirlwind house hunting, meet and greet visit!
With the help of a great real estate agent, we saw a ton of houses but found the right transitional home for us!
It is a lovely, airy home with a screened in lanai and a perfect yard for Chica.
It backs onto conservation land and is close to Dave’s office and our favorite beaches !
Can’t wait to make it our home !
After the house hunting and meeting people at Dave’s new office was done, we had a little time to enjoy the perks of our new state.
Welcome to my new beach….
Heaven !!!
Today is May 1st.
If everything goes as planned, we will be moving in 6 weeks.
Wowza !
Still so much to do !
And it will all get done !
Somehow…
But as we go along,
I have promised myself some creative, rejuvenating time every day.
Otherwise, I will have nothing to give, and be one grumpy girl !
The studio will be the last room to pack,
and yesterday, I set up the space for some big canvas painting.
This work in progress is a 24 X 48” canvas that is a kind of commission for my friend Suzanne.
But the paint sloshing and meditative painting time
is
all for me !
***************
Happy May, Beautiful Ones !
May the sweet new beginnings be rich with joy for you !
(I am rejoining Meri for some joy sharing. Miss this blogging love !)
