This month I turned 52. FIFTY TWO! Time goes SO fast. As a matter of fact, I have stopped thinking of my age. Most of the time I forget how old I am and have to stop and think of someone asks.
Well. Wil and I both celebrated our birthdays in April, only 6 days apart. You can imagine how many birthday cakes were around here. Three to be exact. I think we have eaten enough cake to last a year.
Everyone at work threw me a little luncheon party. We had pizza and cake. Here you will see, Jesús, me and Patricia in the foreground, with Darryl standing behind. Jesús and his family will be leaving next Friday for Venezuela. We wish him well and will have another luncheon party just before he leaves. Jesús and his wife, Gisem, will work as sales reps for us in Venezuela. If you live in Venezuela and are hoping to make purchases, let me know and Jesús can get touch with you.

Happy Birthday, Sara!
A few days later, my daughter Jessie, who is studying at Ontario College of Art and Design, came home and baked us a chocolate cake. This photo was taken our backyard. In the background you can see the pond where geese waddle about and champion rowers train.

The highlight of this month was an amazing surprise present from Jessie. Usually she gives me paintings and drawings she has exquisitely created. This time she produced a music video especially for me featuring one of the first multiplication songs I composed fifteen years ago.
I was able to find an old television video clip of Jessie singing the same song 15 years ago. We’ve strung some of the old clips and the new video together so you can see Jessie, the preschooler, and now Jessie at 19.

The little kid who had to sing multiplication songs to help her mom do marketing has now blossomed into a young woman whose main passion in life is to produce videos. Check out this clip. She’s great. But of course, maybe I’m biased. I’m her mom.
