Summer at the Park

I am busy applying to switch from an MA to an MFA. I am very excited about this as my end career goal is to paint and teach post-secondary art. Of course I will continue making time to write throughout my life as well. I will be a travel-painter. Not unlike a travel photographer–only I will photograph nature all over the globe and then use my photos to inspire a painting series. I can hardly wait to put paint to canvas again! I took a break to write and do my MA and now I am ready to pick up my brush once again. I want to publish Queen… as an e-book asap as well.

We had our friends Stan, Alberta and their 2 kids for supper. They are moving to Victoria in a few weeks. As usual, once you realize friends are moving away is when it hits you–we should have gotten together more! They are a great family and I am sure we will see more of them as we often get to Victoria. Peter made his famous burgers and fresh french fries. I made a salad and a double chocolate cake which was essentially cream, chocolate and eggs with a little raspberries and pecans–so good.

I have this reoccurring dream–it always leaves me feeling sad. I am trying to meet someone whom I really want to meet and this person never shows up–I get stood up 🙁
