Labor Day

We were able to get away as a family this Labor Day….so get ready for the plethora of pictures.  Sad story, I was in such a hurry to get out of town and drive the many hours to our camp spot…..that I forgot my camera battery that I was charging on my kitchen counter.  So all of these are iPhone pics.

New Painting: Town on the Water

New Arty Art!  I am so pleased with Town on the Water.

There is something about the feeling I get when I look at this – it reminds me of our time in Croatia.  Dave and I had traveled over for a wedding and we were able to see some amazing places.  I definitely did not start out with this in mind – but it just evolved on me.  Love that!

Croatia was an amazing trip…..if it is not on your list of places to see before you die.  ADD IT.   I will do a post at a later date of the awesomeness that is Croatia…but for now, just know that you should go sooner, rather than later.

Anywho – this painting has a special place in my heart…visit my esty shop for more.

Friday Wrap Up – Vacation style

Here is a recap of the amazing vacation that we took over 4th of July this year.  We decided to rent a cabin on the Canadian side of Lake Metigoshe.

We crossed the border at Carbury, ND and traveled through the land of Manitoba to the north side of Lake Metigoshe.  The cabin is situated right where the C is.

Canada1Dave had the boat out on the lake for roughly 10 minutes….bringing it from the boat launch to the slip….when it blew a piston.  Sob.  Long….long….long….story short.  A very nice Canadian offered us his boat for the week and saved our vacation.

Here are some pics celebrating the awesomeness of vacation, kids, and 4th of July.
