Hi Patricia..Phone call went really well, I was able to tell the people that run the new house what I think her needs and what kind of supervision he will need..Kind of like constant.. The lady who wants him to stay with us did not come to the meeting so it was mostly me filling them in..I have actually never met the lady in Port hardy.  It is a 5 hour drive north of us.!!  Victoria is a 4 hour drive south..He will be moving clost to family, not with family, but  there are enough people around that he should be able to participate in so many differnt things ..I am kind of excited for him..He does not know yet..His move date is June 29 or 30th whenever they can make arrangements for transport. We will be keeping the 2 little ones over Summer.. So looking like well into September. But never know might be longer.  It is okay they are fitting in really well.. and have visits with their mom 2 times a week..   Just have to do the driving..  Painting is coming along. Wil be a week or so before it is done..Thinking close to 2 as I only paint 3 hours a week..  The frame and wooden canvas will be ready some time late next week..   I will have enough time to paint it..Mike..The guy making is will put on the right kids of primer for me. so that is one thing I will not have to worry about.

Painting is going really well, will post it as it is mine, just wanted to do something before I do Alishas' .  Hers still needs the frame built. Will check in on that on thursday.. The guy who is building it will be in the /art studio.  Will have to get going on it soon.. I will need about 6 weeks because it needs to be dry enough for them to put into place.  I have only worked 2 weeks on this one so far so  I can do it..!!  Hope you have a great time at Fellowship and whist .. Hope you have a lovely day..Have fun..!!!!  Loads of Love and Hugs..XXXX

We are going over to Vancouver this coming summer after the Fifa guys have left the city..!!!  Got out and got grocery shopping done and then off to painting..Was a nice day..Then the phone calls started paper work to be done but at the end am sure I did get a few things done..   School here ends on the 26th or so..Kids are VERY happy , I will have to drag them there until then though..No one is going willingly..!!   So glad to hear your car made the grade even if there is a bit of work to be done on it..!!  I am on a meeting tomorrow to make plans for Rashad..He really does need to get down to some family..He has no one here in town. We will have his birthday party here first though his birthday is on June 28th.
