Great new look.

Strong work, Cathy. Loved the clip of the dogs. It will be a long time before I'll have the expertise to do such things. So, Dad's birthday is coming next month, and then Russ's in April. Time flies. Dad will be 87? I'm still amazed and pleased at our visit in December. A neighbor is selling two Kinkade originals. I told her I'd take one, and possible the other one, depending upon the number of Thomas Kinkade fans in the family. Would anyone like one if I get them both? One is called Going to Church on Sunday Morning, or some such, and is a painting of a family getting into a horse drawn buggy on a rainy spring morning. The other is something like Quiet Christmas, and it is a hushed snow scene. They are both framed and matted in a muted blue. Let me know. They would be gifts. She is selling them at a low price. I'm absolutely having a ball in the painting class I'm taking at the local college. Obviously, I have a lot of catching up to do, having done nothing in years, but some of it is coming back. And Russ, guess what? While going through all the old art stuff I found some cartoons that you drew. One of them is Elaine from the back. What memories. They are all hilarious. The other thing I've been having fun with is looking through Steve's and Matt's old art that I've saved for a long time. Some of the phases. Robots with flame throwers, missiles, amazing stuff that hearkens back to star wars, and all sorts of sci fi things. Shelly, get your butt back into painting. Hally, you'd better have that piano by now or I'll have to hire one of Guido's cousins. Love you all, The B of T
