Yay! You’re welcome. The pigs reminded me of Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web. 😊

Thanks Pennie… An artist I follow on IG created the design — It’s on a purse! I loved the lightness and wanted to see if I could create something similar.

I envision Nia sharpening pencils now? So we can get the “point” of your next drawing... Sorry I let that slip out!

More seriously, your prompt to create something every day. Treating creativity at least in part as play suggests a corollary: One who fails to create will work the rest of

his life.

When asked for her line, Nia was speechless and asked for more time. 😂

The rest of us… especially Henny… wanted to hit the road. We hit publish… Just arrived at the dog park!

Sign: “I am tired of being the only one in this family who cleans up, the one who does all the cooking, the family member who pays all the bills. I AM THE BACKBONE OF THIS FAMILY AND I WISH SOMEONE WOULD APPRECIATE IT! (Yes, I’m single and I live alone, but still…) 😁

It's nice living with someone when we appreciate each other. 😊

Love the pigs! Someone wrote recently (Medium? dunno) about attending a work-mandated team-building workshop, where the first task was to draw a pig. Then they had to assess what the drawing told about their personality. The writer (who wasn't happy to be there to begin with, and thought the whole thing was stupid) Googled the exercise, and found it was meant to be an icebreaker, not a personality test. She also disagreed with the assessment criteria. "I think this pig says I'm grouchy and irritated. OH NO WAIT THAT'S THIS IDIOTIC EXERCISE THAT'S DOING THAT!"

As an adult… Did you ever have a stretch of living alone Jack? Between your first marriage and finding Deb?

Thank you for you appreciation of the pigs! It was pretty much a straight-copy-job from somebody else’s work I admire. Somebody once said, “Copy what you like and eventually you’ll grow into your own authentic style.” 😊

I was single and alone 1991-1999. I was fully self-sufficient and able to handle solo life just fine, thank you! (Not counting a year-long relationship that went very, very badly. 😕) Deb said my independence was one of my features.
