in the life of an ordinary person, Maggy M, a mother of two, she lives in the
suburbs, is a naturally beautiful woman, outgoing, active, she divides her time
between her family and work, social engagements and her kids' activities. She
lives a seemingly normal life, one that she enjoys. She is nothing less than
some 7 billion individuals that inhabit this planet, which is why she deserves
our attention.

While the idea of festival is always good, the logistics to attending can be daunting the four different time clusters and geographic areas do / dose make it possible to see all the shows if you have personal ground transportation, public transportation limits what you can see. While I am planing on attending the Lang Pioneer Village Textile Festival on August 18th and heading to Ottawa for the opening of Homage to Micheline Beauchemin on the 21 it is getting from Ottawa to Saint-André-Avellin Quebec for Michèle Provost's exhibition "A day in the life of Maggy M::" opening on the 24th presents a problem.
Interestingly enough Festival Twist --- Fibre Artisanale is happening there that weekend so I need to go don't I. I just thought I would put up these maps so you could get an idea of the geography involved
