Cant believe we have been here a week !!     Its been great.  I love this city !!    Quaint in some areas.  Old beautiful buildings.  History, lots of history.  And Food - lots of Food & Drink !!    We've had Crepes, Montreal Poutine - cant believe the calories in that dish !!  Other delicious dishes - not remembering the names !!   We have shopped in Old Montreal, seen the Old Port and visited China Town.   And unique shopping streets !   The shopping !    And we saw the 2 artists that I bought several paintings from when I was last here in 2009.   I thought - those lucky men - doing exactly what they want to do  - out there in their shops everyday and selling paintings everyday. Then I see Ron  - - Poor Ron - the only man with us !  He happily tags along saying every time we stop to look at something  " Get it if you would like it" !!     

The weathers been pretty good too !  The other day it rained and we were inside Jodie's tiny apt for most of the day.  Then Jodie had to leave to meet a gal at 3pm that she is teaching in a private lesson once a week.  I told her I would go to the market and pick up few things that we thought we needed before she returned home !   I left around 4pm leaving Ron in the tiny apt with his IPod and IPad to catch up on.   I am sure he was happy to be alone, away from two females and not have to go out to shop for anything.

Umbrella under arm - I left saying I would return within the hour.  Out on the busy streets,  I watched the vehicles quickly passing by as, I guessed, the people rushed home at the end of a day of work. 

Oh Great !!   It 's raining again !!  I open the umbrella, stand on the corner, wait for the walk light.   I quickly step back as a vehicle races past splashing that dirty road and rain water halfway into the sidewalk. Thanks goodness I am not drenched in it !!   Why is everyone in such a rush ?  Where are they all going ?   I am on vacation.  It feels casual, laid back, restful to me.   Then my minds lingers back to my last few weeks in April when I was pounding those streets in Calgary.  Cars,  people and me rushing everywhere.   I guess that's real life !!   Thank goodness for vacations - we can forget all we have to do  and just  do what we want to do  at least until returning from vacation to the real world  ! !

Your blog looked so simple to design that I decided to create one, thanks!

    I am an artist. I have taken numerous classes and workshops since 2004 as shown under About in my CV. I work out of  my home. When painting on canvas, I often loose track of all time. I am alone and quiet, peaceful and excited, ambitious and energetic.  I am in place between body and mind - my hands doing something that my mind makes them do and ultimately - another painting !

    I love what I am able to do and
    I look forward to you following me on this journey !

    Initially my plan will be to post a few times a week and change as time permits.
