Family Day on the road


Nothing like a good story

It's family day in Ontario today and we're on the road
visiting family then heading home.  It's been a whole
weekend of family, and so much fun.

You know I can't stop sketching, and here's a little one
I did of Steven reading on his iPad.  I think
the weekend has done exactly what it's supposed to
do -- connected us with family, and given us a break
from the slog of working in winter, which somehow
seems harder than working in summer.

I am grateful for my wonderful family, and for the
glorious bright days we enjoyed as soon as
we escaped the snow squalls of Toronto.  But we're
heading home, and will be happy to be there.

Have a heading-home-happy day.
