LMAO! That's so funny! I know there are lots of people who have never seen snow....my kids were among them for a while. :) I love snow! It's beautiful and fun. ;)

Thanks for coming in! I hope to see you much more often, Jinx! :)

[MistyCA]

Thanks so much for your posts. They are very appreciated!

[SAMWolf]

but time is a premium with the holidays approaching

Hi HiJinx, I know the feeling, I'm going to be running around most of the evening tonight so I'll be scarce until late. :-(

[MistyCA]

Oh wow...look at that. Scary, isn't it? I suppose they fly by instrument and don't care that you can't see your hand in front of your face! :)

The look on some of the faces in my platoon was priceless. I grew up where blizzards could literally bury you under four or so foot of snow.
So three inches of snow was nothing to me.
(The prettiest thing I've ever seen was the full moon shining through ice on the trees after an ice storm. And the light patterns on the snow. Haunting. I can't draw it, how frustrating.)

[MistyCA]

I will try to cover for you with Jen. WHERE IS JEN??

Art and artistic ability is so awesome to me. My sister is a doctor, but she is also an artist, as are others in the family. I am not. I play, and I can see things nd copy them, but I don't have good color sense not the ability to just sit and think things up in my head. I applaud and admire all who can. My sister and cousin can make art look so real you would swear it was a photograph. That, to me, is a God given gift to cherish.

I'm slightly colorblind, but in an odd way. I can see green extremely well, but some of the other colors are damped down.
So I usually draw in pencil. Color images are beyond my meager skills at the moment. (I had wnated to link you to "my december, my descent" (Yes, the Linkin Park song was the inspiration for teh title.) but I seem to have actually deleted the link. And since I don't have it on an external server, I have no idea how to link itthen.)

[MistyCA]

My sister use to do a lot of pen and ink stuff, and then she did charcoal. I personally love seeing black and white art. I also appreciate water colors and oils. I like all art work.

[MistyCA]

My mom used charcoals a lot too, btw. One day I walked in and saw my sister sitting in a chair and drawing her foot! LOL. It was incredible to see how 3 dimensional her drawing looked using charcoals and shading. I am very offended by the NEA's abuse of art.

The air wing of the George Washington Battle Group ended a six-month deployment today as aviators returned a day ahead of the ships.

Sarah Steenson, 2, is happy to be in the arms of her
father, Lt. Justin Steenson, after he returned from
deployment with the VAW-125 "Tigertails" at Norfolk
Naval Station on Thursday. The squadron of E-2C
Hawkeyes was part of the George Washington air wing.
