Hey, Mrs. Bear...I'm on a little sabbatical far inland, and having a wonderful time with family. However, I must confess, am starting to miss my CA neighborhood and view out my window.

The AZ desert in April sure is pretty, though...hmmmm, just heard the local weatherman say the thermometer may hit 90 today...argh.

Sounds like you've got your Spring day well under way...)

God Bless our First Ladies, Barbara and Laura Bush!

Ta Da!

I'm in a goofy mood today. I hope some work comes in before I get in trouble.

[Billie]

I use only one pencil. :) Pentel 0.5 mm lead. I do sometimes have to retouch the drawings (after I scan them) in Adobe, because they don't look as well after they're scanned as the originals do. I sent several of the originals to the WhiteHouse. :)

We must inquire about the Real Flyer - how is he?

You might not have seen that jwfiv's parents have a dog with a Perfect Name - Barkley!!

That makes me burst out with laughter whenever I hear it..:))

[Billie]

The Thin Man and I have this long-standing 'thing' going on and neither of us remembers why. LOL! Unfortunately for some of my 'friends' here, they are beginning to get the same gentle treatment as I get from him. :)

Just dropped by to say hello. Nice thread (-:

You mean this Flyer?

Or the FReeper known as Flyer that seems to have taken the day off?

None of my scanned sketches look as good as the originals.

We're getting a whole new computer system (hopefully this week!), and I hope to get some programs that work better than the ones I can get to function on the dinosaur I have now!

(Did you hear back from the WH? Did you write to Laura? She writes back!)

[Billie]

Thank you, BIS! (I didn't even have to ping you) (-:

[Billie]

Barkley!!!! I love it!

[Billie]

(Did you hear back from the WH? Did you write to Laura? She writes back!)

Yes, I did hear back from them, a nice thank you. :)

Well, next time I see sunflowers labeled as daisies. . . I'll call them daisies. (and just snicker to myself)

[Billie]

LOL! And these are roses.

[Flyer]

And these are roses

And beautiful roses they are!

[Billie]

Are you From DixieTEXAS?! LOL! Actually, these little beauties are blooming their little hearts out about now, aren't they? Are there any around Houston?

[LadyX]

Who wouldn't love that sweet, laughing face, I ask you?!!

(either one, of course..:))

[Aquamarine]

You know, on second thought that may be honeysuckle instead of yellow bells.
Is it tea time yet?:)

[Flyer]

Yeah, we have our share of roses along the highway right of ways. They are pretty good about letting the wildflowers grow.

[FreeTheHostages]

Oh yes, let's definitely have tea. I'm *finally* out from under a pile of work.

That's a beautiful drawing of Laura Bush.
