Always harder than it seems.

These last couple of weeks have been crazy.

My last and finally roommate moved in, Manndi Jo. She completes our household full of art majors. She is funny, clever, and quick. I like her and think we shall keep her around.

This weekend was spent out and about. Friday night the art girls came over for dinner and talk. Ran out of propane but the oven does just the same. Saturday night was April and D's going away party. The place was packed and dinner was good. It made me realize how much they both will be missed. They are wonderful people and have touched so many lives. I didn't realise until last night how much I will miss them. Yesterday was spent with the family, Mom, Dad, Thomas, Rachel, Miss Michael, Rosie and Tim. Good times. I think April finally let the tears come. she has been holding them in. We wept with each other for a little bit then I sat back in D's cushy leather seats and cried myself into quiet.

I realized this is not a good bye but an until then. April will be back before we all know it but in the mean time she has to go on living her life and this is the one she chose. It will be good for her.

So Started three of my four big canvases. I think I will go paint on them a little this morning. It is always peaceful in studio...or at least it was as of Friday. I am happy where I am and what I am doing. You were right. Smooth is my thing. I just had to be the one to decide that.

Work in the dishroom today. My favorite. Then off to sculpture studio to set stuff up and clean stuff out.

I hope to post some more work later this week. And maybe a few family pictures.

I dreamt of you last night. It felt so surreal. It makes me wonder what if's.

Coffee has gotten cold so I guess it is time to go.

Thank you for your call. It was a pleasant surprise!

Enjoy your Monday,
Love, B
