Here it is, May already.

And my oldest son's birthday.  Happy Birthday Shaun!  I also think of this day as the 32nd anniversary of me becoming a Mom.

As usual, things have been hopping at the Picanteria.  But the biggest news of late was our successful adventure in Peru.  My daughter Shea had invented a charitable project in which she solicited gently used shoes from school kids, took their photo and we travelled to Trujillo, Peru with the shoes to deliver them to children in poverty there.  It truly was a life changing experience and we can't wait to do it again.  It is quite addicting.

On the work front we are busy preparing for our new Winnipeg Police Commercial shoot which will be occurring in mid-July.  Once again, I must tribute the Winnipeg Police Service for caring so much about keeping us all safe.

We're getting close to going to print on our new materials for the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

On a tougher note, we're said to be saying goodbye to John and Jamie from Grant Park Shopping Centre who are leaving our fair city to go west.  We'll certainly miss our collaboration.  However, we're looking forward to working up all the new creative to manage the exciting  Grant Park renovations with new GM Sandra Haganaars. 

Enjoyed a magnificent Winnipeg Wine Festival Gala Dinner with our good friends Sue and Ron and the next day I taught a class on Advertising Fundamentals for Kathryne's University of Winnipeg class.  Good thing I didn't overdo it on the wine! 

Hope everyone is having a nice spring....don't worry - the warm weather will soon arrive!
