| Last week I stood in Studio 33, painting my little happy painting...and had a thought. It was a lovely thought. I imagined Brod & I in Cape Town, at the Irma Stern Museum. So I arrived home, and said to Brod - Let's go! And he made it happen. BLISS. He called in on some clients and I called in at Irma's house to check out her amazingly vibrant art and her special home. The lovely Harries Family welcomed us into their home, and amazing neighbourhood and I was in heaven for 2 days. My mom watched the kids - sometimes that's all one can do - just watch as they destroy - but at least there was an adult present:) I phoned home once to check on them & chat - and boy howdy how I regretted that decision! Every single one of them was howling in despair for the duration of the call. We are together ALL the time - and so when Brod and I are away - there's a LOT of missing going on at home. Phoebe called me alot after that, and Sophie had a few chats - but the boys were strictly on a NO chat fast.  |
