I see this one. This is lovely too. Thanks! :)

It looks so Native American to me - and I love it, too!

Hey y’all!

re:pic

Hubby and I have been getting in trouble for that very thing for...almost 30 years now! LOL

Thanks for all the pings, everyone.

Justamy—tell Marissa congrats! It’s so nice to hear good things about children! There are far more good ones than bad ones, but unfortunately the squeaky wheel gets the grease. :)

I can explain it.

Ahem ... Look closely at the shadow of the middle stick. It projects toward the watch, but the end of it is cut at an odd angle. When carefully aligned with the photographing camera, it appears to enter the right stile, but it does not.

WOW!

Now that is a wonderful illustration. You certainly have the knack of finding just the right image I must say! Beautiful.

[yorkie]

:-)

Thank you, kind sir!

What a wonderful achievement
Marissa, winning a Bronze Medal
and a Gold Medal.
All that hard work paid off!!

I can explain it.

Alrighty then, let's hear it.

"If all the beasts were gone, men would die
from a great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts
also happens to the man.
All things are connected. Whatever befalls
the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth."

~Chief Seattle of the Suquamish Tribe,
letter to President Franklin Pierce

I tried to get a little work done today! I am going to try to check the thread after while and see all the beautiful posts. Congratulations to you too, Amy, I remember when you were working so hard with Marissa in trying to help her. I know you are very proud and you certainly should be. And I bet she was absolutely thrilled. I remember at that age how awards or just special attention means to a child.

[yorkie]

Such sweet words, JC! (And that is one of my most favorite graphics! It goes perfectly with those words.)

[jaycee]

Thank you so much, yorkie! I am going to try to see the thread after while. Think I will have some toast and sliced tomatoes for my late supper since I had soup earlier for lunch or whatever you call it. I always eat off schedule. Just when I get hungry! I have a cantelope if I ever get it cut up. I sure hope its good. I had a delicious peach at lunch.

[yorkie]

Well, I am just about to fix chicken piccata (breaded, browned chicken breast, with sauce made of butter, garlic, wine and capers.)

I’ll check back in later. Enjoy your snack, JC. Your soup sounded sooooo good!

This is such a pretty kitty playing hide & seek. :)

Love that sweet dog with its little paws crossed. Those toenails almost look like they’re painted a pearly white. :)

[Billie]

We’re such cool cats at Amy’s! That’s such a neat graphic and frame!

[Billie]

Hi, Meekie - nice to see you at Amy’s. Neat cartoon!
