grandpa

hello friends!  how are you?  did you have a nice holiday weekend?  rick had gigs this weekend, so he stayed home busy with work while i went up north with my family to my family's cabin.  my grandpa lives down the road from our cabin, so going up north also means spending time with him - something we all always look forward to.

we were all just up north at the cabin a few weeks ago in april to celebrate my grandpa's 92nd birthday (see cutie below).  the person he is and the way he lives his life inspire me.  he's almost a century old, for starters - and he still drives and lives on his own.  he's irish catholic.  a teamster and a WWII vet.  he's loyal.  he's tough as nails.  he's survived things most of us couldn't imagine living through.  he's a fighter.  and a sweetheart.  i love him dearly.

the weekend away with my family was a lot of fun, and i'm thankful to have been able to spend that time with them and my grandpa.  now that i'm back home, i'm back to work, getting ready for the berkley art bash next saturday.  i still have a lot to get done, but i'm really looking forward to it! 

hope you all had a great weekend - and that you have a wonderful week!  much love!
