we had a great time up north, D and i. and the kids had a great time with mormor and morfar as well, so everyone was happy. it was windy, clouds and rain one minute, sun and blue sky the next. i like that.
we rested, had good food, went for little walks (and drives), and read. i'm reading eat, pray, love. i really like it, but not sure it's the healthiest book for me these days: next thing you know i might be on my way to india to hang in an ashram... but it does inspire me in terms of searching for my own path - in baby steps at least :)
today is stormy with rain here and there. the children are home from kindergarten, my mom is leaving in a few days, so it's all about cozying up and enjoy those last few days with her. and yesterday i finally got a hang of the granny square crochet project - yay - and i am hooked (pun intended).
my dad will stay for another two weeks. i like that they overlap, it's nice to have them here alone too. and i think they like it too. not just here, but also being at home, in silence. i have that from them: i also always liked to be on my own (preferably when you know exactly when it will end). but for now, i will enjoy the company of my parents together with the little ones.
wishing you a weekend of good company, with yourself or those you love.
lovely drawings!!

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your artwork, it seems to be a mixture of elements. I too loved reading...eat, pray, love, so much so, that I plan on reading it again some day!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than baby steps: babies know that when they fall, they need to get up again and go. And it seems to me that you're taking huge strides in your graphic and drawing projects: this one is very interesting. Is it part chalk? Enjoy your family time!
