It's such a warm week it's hard for me to focus too long on one thing!
I'd try to tackle my emails and they were overwhelming,
even figuring out a post for this week seemed daunting!
I am not a girl who likes heat in any way! I'll take 20 Celsius
and under thank you very much!
Do you like it hot, or cooler?

| Cat Lady Day 18 icad 48 |
Most of my friends are cat ladies but I'm not!
Dogs all the way for me! It doesn't help that I am so
allergic to their fur! They always hone in and snuggle
up to me first too! I had a Siamese cat as a child name
Mitzi twinkle toes! Then we had a black cat named Nipper
who wandered into a neighbors house and sprayed!
Mom got him fixed but he was still such a monkey. We
didn't have either cat long probably because of my allergies.
I think mom gave them to a couple of her customers
and told us some lame story! As an adult any dog I
owned was family, and a life time commitment!
Do you have a preference?

| African princess day 17 Icad 47 |
When I was a little girl I had a friend named Louise. Her
brother was the famous runner Harry Jerome! They
lived just down the street from us. He won a Bronze Olympic
Medal in 1964. There is a beautiful statue of him erected in
Vancouvers Stanley park! Years before we met Beardo
he chose to write an extensive school report on him!
Have you ever known anyone of notability?

| Candy shop owner day 15 icad 45 |
When I was a little girl Saturdays were Candy day!
I got ten cents to buy either a box of smarties, or a group
of suckers tied with an elastic. As the years went on I had way
more choices!! I found penny candies went the farthest! As
much as I still like Candy it does not like me.... I still have a few

much as I still like Candy it does not like me.... I still have a few
chocolates left from my birthday! Two favourites are
licorice allsorts and bridge mix.
What's your favorite candy?

| Paris Model Day 16 icad 46 I have never been thin! Although when I look back I was thinner than I ever thought I was! I always had thin friends that seemed to be able to eat so much and never gain a pound! It doesn't help if you're short I guess! Cupcake never weighs herself yet adjusts her food intake by how well her clothes fit! |

| Day 19 a Prophet Icad 49 |
In school my greatest influence was my grade nine
English teacher and my choral teacher for five years.
A well respected man who also sang the national anthem at
Canadian hockey games for 40 years! Both teachers saw my
potential, too bad I took so long to realize it?
Who were your greatest influences in school?

| Biker Chick day 20 Icad 50 |
I've been on a motorcycle once when I was a teen,
it was big, loud, and scary! I much preferred a convertible car
of which I owned two at different times in my life! Nothing
nicer than driving with the wind in your face! My brother
designed a very nice motorcyle that he's had for years
but I have never been on it!
Are you a biker chick?

| The Secretary Day 21 Icad 51 |
As much as I love paper to write or paint on....I have an
aversion to paper work or papers laying around!
I do love coloured wrapping paper or foils! Cupcake
who loved using fancy paper, and pens of all types
when she was younger likes paper work!! She
could have been a secretary a lot easier than I ever could!
How about you?

| Porch flowers Pink and Orange geraniums photo credit Cupcake! My kids were gifted tickets to Adele last December! Last night was the show. The following was written by Beardo! We have easily and quite literally been to a solid few hundred various concerts.... We have seen legends, we have seen greats, we have seen greats before they were anyone, and some definitely not so greats.... Adele is comfortably in our top 10 greatest shows of all time! She spoke so hilariously and from the hip, sang with SO MUCH power and conviction, and took you to church and back! Just wow! |

| Photo credit Beardo! The confetti is paper with her lyrics in her hand writing! Cupcake plans on making a collage from the lyrics!! |
I'm told it was such a phenomenal show. People came
from all over the world to see her here! Cupcake and Beardo
wished they could go tonight! So after several hours of me pressing
refresh and WILLING more tickets to be released I squealed
when two tickets became available! Beardo whose

Birthday is in two weeks and didn't think he wanted anything

Love the ICADS. Warm is okay, but really hot and nowhere to escape to is hard!Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
Ha ha....lots whirling round my head after reading. I'm a cat lady...left to my own devices i would have more! My kids home about me turning into a mad old cat lady with wild hair and hundreds of cats. I was also a biker chick....long time back. I even had a side car on the bike.. happy days. :)
Lovely colorful artworks!
I had always only a bicycle (have so wished a car, but that isn't working in my poor life), that makes the action radius very small :-(
I like chocolate all my life, but I must take care for my clothing-size ;-) (I haven't money to buy new clothes)
Candies I've always only collected but not eaten...
Enjoy your summertime
Great post again. You have so many questions I can answer YES I have 😃
Enjoy your weekend ❤ and will see you next week again 😀
This is fabulous! All your images.
I am a cat woman!!!

Interesting post your questions made me think, enjoyed your colourful art.
Gorgeous artwork, I adore your use of colour. I'm afraid I'm a cat lady but I've had dogs in the past..ln fact I'd just have a whole house full of animals if I could!
Hugs

So many questions today! I am a cooooool person too. Much prefer under 20 degrees as well. I feel like I'm melting. My art place in on the third floor and the AC never makes it up here. I don't know where you are in Canada but I'm in Kitchener-Waterloo and it's soooooo hot here too. It's hard to art in heat. Anyway, love love love your colourful creations as always!
Great variety of artwork! I am a dog person I have two. Happy PPF!
Love! LOVE! LOVE! the art this week... so happy they got to go to so many concerts in one week. I envy them. I used to go to concerts all of the time. My husband is not a concert fan but he would go with me but we eventually went to fewer and fewer and now it's been years. :( I'll have to start going with my daughter :)
Loving your colorful cast of characters!! Lots of thoughtful questions worth pondering over. I can only imagine how phenomenal the Adele show was!!!! So great that Cupcake and Beardo were there to take it all in. Happy PPF-and stay cool. It's supposed to feel like it's in the low hundreds(farenheit) tomorrow-and that is a bit too hot even for me:)
Such a lot of choices to comment on this week, Sherrie. First off, I am definitely a dog person. We had 3 at different times during our 56 years of marriage: Lance (a female part beagle, named by my very young son), Sam a black lab, and Mitzi, our beautiful black lab. Mitzy was my mother's nickname. Once on vacation, Jane Seymour, the actress, invited my dh and me to sit at their table for dinner at a fishing resort. Candy, I like most. Chocolate first, but especially the Heath bar combination of flavors. I do like Cupcake although I do also weigh myself. I always know by how the clothes fit if I have gained weight. Finally, I love the intuitive grandma, especially when posed next to those gorgeous matching geraniums. Great post.
luv that sweet grandma best
happy PPF
much love...
The Adele concert must have been great. And more fun faces this week. I love their personalities. You are very good at that. And wow- so many questions today. Nobody famous in my life, except a good friend of a good friend was the niece of Linda McCartney-married to the famous Paul. But no, I never did meet them. Just saw a few of the family photos. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
Beautiful and very colorful work!! Love them all, in particular your first image.
Have a wonderful day!

A lot of different questions today and a great array of different people.
We had a cat for over twenty years and we never saw him chase or catch a bird, so I am very much a cat person so long as they are like our old cat. As for the temperature, I love the colder weather so am perfectly at home in Scotland.
Your people Icads are again tremendous. Is "Paris Model Day" based on Cupcake, she certainly has glamour.
"Biker Chick" looks really cool against the hot red background.
I do like your cat lady very much with her green hair and her orange and green kitties.
Hope you have a great week.
Colorful ICADS. I love the little stories that you tell for each one of them. I am glad your children got to see Adele two nights in a row. I am sure they will remember them for a long time.
I'm keen on cat lady! I have a dog though! A person of note from my childhood was bobby McGregor who won an Olympic gold medal for swimming! His father taught me swimming! Needless to say I was just passable and went into an academic career instead!
Love your cast of characters ~ colorful, creative and filled with delightful essence and charm ~
Happy Daze to you ~ ^_^
What a lovely post, so full of rich content and sweet art! I'm not much for the heat, but I don't like it super cold either...
lol, your first couple of woman made me think 40:s or 50:s. Thay looked like that when I was a kid. :)
Wonderful set of colourful characters once again! And so many questions!! Let's see: I'm definitely a summer lover and a cat person. Although now we also have a dog and I'm crazy about him. I was in the same gymnastics-club as Kim Clijsters' mom (the tennis-player)(she's from the same village I grew up in), and I like all kinds of candy, although potato-chips are my big weakness. When I have them in front of me I can't stop. I like how Cupcake adjusts her food intake by fitting her clothes. I don't think anyone in school greatly influenced me, and if they did I don't remember ;-) I'm not a biker chick, although some of my past boyfriends had bikes and I liked to sit behind them. But only in summer of course ... And I kinda like paperwork! I would LOVE to see Adele in real life, how sweet of you to gift two more tickets for tonight's show to Cupcake and Beardo! Have a great week!
great post :) I have heard Adele puts on a good show and the Hip should be good, but at the same time very sad :(
and I like it cooler out, the heat messes with my MS and def a dog person, cats are too unpredictable. you generally know what a dog is thinking from their body language
Such great characters. Love Grandma and Cat Lady
Fabulous ICADS Giggles ! I am a dog/cat person - love both!
Wonderful characters! I'm definitely not made for hot temperatures. My comfort zone is between -15 and +15 Celsius. A crisp dry winter day in the snow is perfect for me. I've had two cats in my life, and would love to have cats again one day. I might even persuaded to have a dog, but for me, it's most of all a question of where and how I live. Right now, it wouldn't be fair on either of them.
Great variety of characters! Cool to see your range of inspirations -- very fun post!
