(One of my all time favourite
paintings because the family
is so happy, and because they were
wonderful models at a hard
time in my life.)

Tonight we had dinner with friends who feel like family.  It
was so fun.  Plus I talked to both of my sons today --
always wonderful.  I notice that in recent years we've been
travelling on what we call Family Day in our province, and
many Canadian provinces, a statutory holiday.

We started Family day this year in Ottawa, and visited family in Chelsea,
Quebec, and then perhaps I forgot to post about it because of the
long drive home through very dense fog in places.

I like this post about Family day, which this year was last
Monday, February 16, so hoping that your family, or friend
family is having a wonderful time with you.

"If you didn't have Family Day where you live, hug your family, or
give them 
a call.  And hug the friends who are like family for you.
We need each other now.

And to Megan, Christopher, Emily, Sam, Alice, Madeleine, James,
Sally, Angus, Andrew, Lina, Jemma, Jackson, Quincy, Jon, Kathryn,
Rose, Rae, our dog Sally, our cat, Monet -- Happy Family Day, and
thanks for being our family. And thanks to the wonderful people who
kept our animals happy while we were away."

Love to my family, and you my friends, and to my art, blogging,
Instagram and Facebook family.

Have a loving your life day!
