Getting out of town

Today I ventured downtown to visit with 2 friends from High School. I hate driving in our city because there is just so much traffic and construction. I like to know exactly where it is I am going. So I decided to take the bus, metro and walk. I haven't been to St-Catherine in a long time and when I exited the Metro, I felt very disorientated not know which direction to go. I finally found my way and then found one of my friend's Darlene, who is visiting from Halifax and staying downtown. We both went shopping at |Omer Desserres and had a wonderful time. I of course got some wonderful deals on some paints from Pebeo Vitrail which were almost 1/2 price and bonus is that both of us got a sample box of Liquitex products; one small ink, can of spray paint ( I have never seen such a small can), heavy body and soft body paints. I of course tested them as soon as I got home along with the new product I am testing Tri-Art crackling medium. After our art adventure, we met with another friend , Cecilia, who her and I go back to grade 1 where we used to jump over our school bags to keep ourselves busy till it was time to go in school. We had a wonderful lunch together and laughed our heads off. |It is so refreshing to do that with someone you have know for a long time. Anyhow after lunch and more shopping which I am not really big on, I got back on the metro and bus home to my dogs waiting patiently at the door to go for a walk. I sure is nice to get out of town or in this case, in town every now and then. I need to do it more now that I don't have any issues walking. Today I did 7 k by noon and 13 flights of stairs.....someone will be off to bed early.

and big bonus is the weather was 7 degress which is unheard of. We were boiling in our large coats and boots.

up next, testing of the Tri Art crackle medium
