What a wonderful weekend....we headed away for a long weekend...we left Friday and just got back late Sunday night....It was nice to get away with some wonderful friends.
We have a family cottage up in Huntsville and we love escaping to a place where the stars are like glitter at night and the peacefulness is so amazing....well until you hear the boats that is....
Cole is just like his Daddy...he loves
his Daddy's boat and as soon as he wakes up he says..."Mommy, Daddy big Boat"...it's so cute to see him love some of the same things Brad loves...

Here is the view from the cottage....my favorite time of year here besides summer time is the fall when all the leaves turn into these wonderful colours...just amazing...

and my submission to Mixed Media Monday this week...The theme is places and what better place to post then one of the pieces I made up in Northern Canada....the scenery is amazing. This is a ink, pencil and watercolour painting I did a while back...it was a gift for my husband who showed me some amazing places up North....
