Lots of family time this summer when Monica Forrestall made it home to Nova Scotia for two glorious months. For the first few days of July, our wonderful father, Tom Forrestall, made it out to the Annapolis Valley for a few days. He drove down with me, Monica, and we all had lots of sketching, dinners, visits and relaxed and happy times unfolded. Here, dad was quietly sketching a vase of flowers that he had picked up at the farmers market in Annapolis Royal. Curphey's daughter Jasmine wanted to paint too, and set up a piece of paper next to her grandfather. My son Max immediately wanted to join and soon the dining room at Three Oaks was filled with quiet, focused children painting alongside of their grandfather. It was such a natural and sweet family moment, that unfolded naturally.
