I spent a great day at odd John's painting and talking. It was highly satisfying and I loved the colour to boot. I got to use a handy tool that Tim gave me years ago to get the extra paint out of the rollers before washing them. He also stopped by to check in on us to see how we were doing. Big B stopped in and helped with some trimming which was much appreciated.
L got us a nice supper and I brought some snacks, which John and I shared. He loved my apple unsauce... It has chunks of apples as well as the saucy stuff.
For the anyone who is interested, my Hummus is just chick peas with cilantro pesto. If I don't have any of that I just chop fresh cilantro and basil and add it with a little olive oil. My favourite way to have them is with a few pappadums; thanks for introducing me T!
The only other thing I have tonight is that I'm not old. I am however, precious and occasionally I am wise. Being born into this family is definitely one of the smartest things I ever did.
"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be." Abraham Lincoln
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." Dalai Lama
That part about being smart enough to be born into this family.....that's brilliant!!!

Besides appreciating the help of both you and Bernie, I had an awesome day with you. I don't really have the words to describe how much I appreciate you, but here are a coupe of quotes that describe my thoughts about our family.
