| First time having alphabet pretzels, I made this for the kids.....always looking for giggle! |
It's super hot, and gradually getting hotter daily!
I hadn't planned to blog this week, but changed my
mind last minute!! I'm busy with a bunch of wip.

| I'll have a lot more art to show in Sept...for now just happily creating... |

| Love how blue and sparkly Cupcakes eyes are in this photo!! |
personal loving letter instead of doing a post for him!
As you may know we don't exchange gifts. I do however
pay for a concert or two. This week Cupcake got tickets
to Neil Diamond, day of, and they were really reasonable!
Beardos brothers happen to take their 70 year old old mom, as
it's her favourite artist! We all love Neils music and it was
his 50th anniversary tour, so the kids were excited to see
him a second time!!! Not much into crowds I am
always happier just to listen to the album and spend
my money on art supplies!!
The next day the kids went to Bob Dylan whom they have
seen two other times!! It's my era yet I've never seen him or
most of the other shows they've seen live. This concert I am happy to
report was excellent! As the last one fell a bit short compared
to their first Dylan experience!!
These two are fabulous as delayed gratification as they
await concert dates often months after their Celebrations!
Fortunately there is a Rodriguez concert right on
Beardos Birthday that he's absolutely thrilled about
seeing. The movie Searching for Sugarman
is a fabulous story about Rodriguez's life!
We loved the movie and the music.
Not everything is always roses and buttercups, although
I do try to highlight that!! Sometimes peopleCupcake
Sometimes all you can do is Laugh and drink the
remaining juice out of the watermelon! Then
help your partner clean up the mess! That's
what I call messy fun!! Glad I didn't have to
clean it up!!
British Columbia has had nearly one million acres burn
since all the fires started up country. Not since I was five
has this happened. All the smoke has wafted all the
way down the coast to Vancouver!! Many of the fires
are a 5 to 8 hour drive away from us!!
There are many weather advisories and you can
smell it even thought it's hundreds of miles away!
It hasn't bothered me so far but I have
stayed in the house!
Last Saturday Cupcake wanted to take a photo of the
mariachi band playing at the opening of a new family
owned taco place in our area!! She would have
pay for a concert or two. This week Cupcake got tickets

| Love their sparkly happiness...concerts are truly their forte!! |
 |
| Changing colours when it's a good combination make me so happy!! |
I do try to highlight that!! Sometimes people
let heavy juicy watermelons roll out of the fridge on their watch.
Having it smash to the floor leaving sticky juicy bits everywhere!

have delighted in trying their home style tacos had
she not had food poisoning from Chipolte two days
before her deviated septum surgery a few years
ago. Ever since, the thought of anything taco,
or black bean related is nauseating for her!
After taking a few photos she headed to meet Beardo
at seven eleven, where he was filling their two huge
thermoses with Slurpee's. Liquidsustenance sugar

to tied them over while painting the hot upstairs
bathroom! Cupcake grabbed the Slurpees
to pay while Beardo quickly used the washroom. At
the register a man behind her asked if both
cups/thermoses were filled with liquid.
They are quite a sight to see!! Meanwhile the
cashier kept asking her if she would like a
" (*&$%^;((*&@#$;*@##$*(;(^%%$ "
she said pardon several times!! Then finally
figured out he was asking if she wanted
a punch card for her Slurpee's. At least
that's what she figured he said, after an
embarrassing amount of "pardons?"
if you'd like some wings!" A bit flabbergasted
Cupcake let out an embarrassing giggle!
"Oh I thought he asked if I wanted a punch
card!! The persistent Cashier asked once again
if she wanted to try a chicken wing.... "No thank-you"
she responded in kind, still a bit embarrassed.

As she walked out the door two mugs in hand
an old man scratching lottery tickets said
" Wow those are the biggest jugs I have
ever seen!" She giggled wishing she had
been quicker on her feet and said," That's a first"
That's one area she is NOT her mothers daughter!!
She left giggling.......
Some how truth is stranger than fiction
on their seven eleven adventures!!

Other than art supplies and shoes,
what is your favourite thing to spend
money on?
