Tracy,
Time tends to pass too quickly, doesn’t it? I appreciate your wonderful support in oh so many ways. I admire Kimberley Payne’s approach to blogging too. She helps readers take care of themselves–whole body approach. Gotta like that! Keep that great art coming!

Linda, you are welcome. I love your posts! I had never heard of Aunt Nancy and Cousin Lazybones. Thanks for introducing me to a new book 🙂

Kathy,
Thanks so much for the nice compliment. I’m so glad you enjoy my blog posts. I like the creativity, quick wit, legend-like quality, and exaggeration shown in Aunt Nancy and Cousin Lazybones. I hope you get to read it. It’s just different. May be more popular with adults than children. Not sure.
