Mom saw it and laughed too. She used to be an artist, but has lost the initiative/interest -- probably because of the stress of dealing with dad for all these years. I hope it comes back to her.

This is precious. Sorry it didn't work out, but at least you've made me laugh -- something I've not done in a few weeks.<br /><br />Do you mind if I use your drawing as wallpaper on my computer? It is how I feel after the whole time I've been in Illinois. That's me on the floor and the sandstone is the red tape, so-called professionals and my dad.Dona (cedarwaxwing)http://dponline.org/weblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226876762714358061.post-9604149787560812010-09-18T18:40:33.357-04:002010-09-18T18:40:33.357-04:00I'm sorry that it didn't work out as you h...I'm sorry that it didn't work out as you had hoped. But I say amen to the stone's clock. It's hard, if not impossible, to defy the Gods, much as we may think we can, and much as we continue to try. This is not a defeat on your part. It's simply a surrender to the proper flow of things. Your stone will be carved all in good time, and it's beauty will be all the better for it.Alixnoreply@blogger.com
