Week in Review - April 26 - May 2

I was treated Saturday morning on my way to work with a beautiful sunrise. It made a great beginning to a hectic day at work. And capped off a busy, but full week.

It also capped off a week where my stimulus check arrived and was turned into savings immediately. A nice increase to my house fund.

I also received my book for the Book Hive Book Club, Mama's Last Hug. I am not sure about the book as it is not something I would normally pick up. But I'm set to start reading it. 

My days off were Wednesday and Thursday and I had Lady K over to the house to spend the night. I gardened while she and Aunt Savvy played Animal Crossing. 

Thursday morning was spent on an online class from the UNCC Botanical Gardens in Botanical Drawing. I had received my package of art supplies a couple of days before.

And my subject I was going to draw had a 'extra' element I didn't realize at first.

Three hours of exercises and discussion on drawing, I completed this...

Not the greatest. I'm not giving up my day job to depend on my art to support me, but I'm happy with the outcome. 

But I'm not the only artist in the family.

I had mailed her a postcard with a seahorse on it and she drew me a seahorse. However, her interests are not centered on Animal Crossing. Texter videoed her reading the opening dialogue which contains guite a few 'big' words. Very impressive for a 7 year old. Even her teacher was impressed with her reading skills.
