Cross my heart and hope to die! I pulled up a batch of about two dozen old cartoons from 2004, looking for something interesting to share with you today, and this was among them. I couldn’t pass it up. Nonetheless, I wanted to post something today that would give us a semblance of normalcy around here. I’m sure everyone is as tired of the teeter-totter art as I am. It is Tuesday, however, and I almost never miss a Tuesday. If you only check in periodically, click the new link above or go back a couple of days to see what we’ve been up to. As for the rest of you, there is news about multiple rewards and other things. We’re going to get back to the barking, but we have time. I’m going to leave this with you for now. Semblance of normalcy is what we’re all about here.

Unframed artwork reminds me of my MIL, she was an accomplished watercolorist. Subjects were floral and landscapes. When she passed, she had a large portfolio of unframed art, both hers and works she had collected of others. My wife took it under her arm as none of her siblings really wanted it; several favorites were framed and hung at our home. As family visited, after seeing MIL’s art on our walls, selected pieces for their homes. Today, her works are displayed in a great number of family galleries.
My sister, Mary visited my home about 20 years ago. I had inherited 2 ink and water color paintings that she had done in High School and a couple of charcoal renderings that she did when my wife and I married. As she looked around, she said that “You have more of my artwork on the walls than I do.
Shortly after that she did a rendering of Mother Teresa and her family Priest told her that he was going to Mother Teresa’s orphanage and that Mary was going with him to present it to her successors. Mary was able to speak at groups, doing 20 minute chalk drawings and telling her story. She bought a commercial scanner and printer and started selling her artwork. Before she knew it, she had enough money to go and take 2 of her daughters.
Jackie, as I recall it was the son, Ian. DUI, ran off road and into tree. Put Debbe’s SuziQ out of commission.
