Salmon At the Bay

This past summer I entered a painting in an exhibit down at a local restaurant (Boundry Bay Brewery) It was for the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association. The theme was Water, Salmon and the relationship to people. We all brought our paintings and sculptures down to the bay and they hung them all  and then they had the greatest Salmon Bake and Barbeque in the Beer Garden. With Irish music and singers. They were great and the meal was wonderful. At the same time this was happening their was an artist reception in the restaurant so the public could talk with the artists. It was great fun.

Monday trip to Canada 11/10/08

Lil Weber and I drove up to White Rock BC to see friends, have lunch and learn how to do wax art. What fun. I'd never done it before. What a treat.

I haven't been able to get over to see Leeah. I've had a bug or two and don't want to give her any. I hope to be going tomorrow. 

Auntie Jade Marie (Leeah's namesake)

Angelina Christine

Here is Momma !

Leeah Jade Christine Atkinson 10.26.08

She was born at 8:55 on October 26, 2008 (her momma's birthday) She was a month and a half early and weighed 4 1/2 lbs. She was so tiny. They let her come home after 2 weeks. She was getting stronger and was eating good, so here she is. I took pictures at the hospital her first 4 days, but none since. She had to go down to Providence hospital in Everett with momma (Annie) to the Premie unit. I am going over to see her tomorrow (Tues. Veterens Day) and take more recent pictures. Here she is., the love of our lives.

Seriously Sidetracked

Hi Everyone,
Sorry about the empty space for the past several weeks. I have been under the weather.
I am now back at it again. New ATC's to develop, Paintings to get ready for Middle School Art Exhibit in June. Scanning, Photoshop work, printing and building scrapbook pages for 3 scrapbooks for my Aunt Madaline (my mom's sister). So far it's taking alot of time scanning and work in PS. But the pages I've been able to finish are looking pretty good for a first attempt.

I'm also trying to save the $ I will need to go visit my Aunt this summer so we can finish this together. Hopefully we can get it done this year.

I am searching genelogy sites to help with some of the dates and some background information. Another new adventure...since I've never done this before either.
