Family dinner



Sam and his friend

We're having our Easter weekend family dinner tonight
-- the turkey, roasted potatoes with rosemary, fresh salad,
steamed broccoli, apple pie, (home made by Steven) and
ice cream. Tomorrow Steven's family is having a birthday
party for one of his brothers, and we're all going down
to Stratford for the afternoon. Sunday morning Sam has to go back
to school for an exam, so this was the only practical time.

I didn't have a lot of time to paint today so I did a quick
sketch of Sam and his girlfriend. I wish I had more time
to paint them -- maybe I will another time.

Have a wonderful weekend whatever you're celebrating,
even if it's just a four day weekend. I have been marking
all day today and don't see that letting up for at least another
week. Thank goodness I have painting and the blog as
relief -- although I do enjoy reading what my students
have to say.

Have a the-stores-are-open-we-can-buy-cadmium red

day!
