Finally got all caught up with all my 'chores'...Had a great trip to Easten Europe...sailed down the Danube (& no it is NOT Blue..don't know where that came from..it is more like our Fraser River only a LOT bigger)..
Lots happening in the art department...a Studio has come up for rent at the Rotary Centre so I have been busy doing a bio, etc... I would be teaching glass, beads and cabs.. Here's a pic. of one of my creations..
We want to start a co-op with Precious Metal Clay, and Silversmithing..
Hope we get it...
I have been busy designing some wind chimes/wind-whimsies...have to figure out how to photograph them best..will try & get some pics up soon..

Went on a road trip to Eagle Crest Resort in Oregon recently with sister-in-law and her husband.

Had a great time hiking and biking..the weather did not fully co-operate as it was a bit chilly and did snow on occassion...We didn't get to horseback ride or play golf as planned...Did learn a new Dominos game called Mexican train..must admit I won most of the games...

We leave on Thursday, the 14th for a boat cruise down the Danube River.

April is here.. won 4 free ski passes, equipement rentals and lessons at Big White... great for the grandkids & Stacy..we got up quite a few times with them....Still lots of snow up there..it closes down thru lack of interest....Had everyone here for Easter dinner.

Now it's time to concentrate on my art glass ....

Wow! what a spring break....lots of skiing at Big White with Stacy and the grandkids...they are doing fantastic..to think they just started in Feb.09.. Also did some swimming at the local pool..we can't wait till the new pool and water park open..next week...Lots of hot-dog and marshmellow roasts on the beach....this is the only time of year to do it as the water is so low at this time of year...Now it's time to ge back to my glass studio...lots of geat ideas to implement....going to up-cycle some old jewellery and see what I can come up with...

Spring is finally here ..yea! Took a picture of this guy out of my window..I think he is waiting for his lunch to wander by!!!
