Got the hills done, the distant hills don't seem to show up at all on the scan, but do in real life, I may try to darken them just a tad...

We need another dog like a hole in the head, we'll advertise for her owners... but I've got a feeling we've been adopted by this dog... for now she's getting along fine with the JRT's, Gracie only attacked her a couple of times and she groveled and showed the appropriate respect to the older established bitch in the house... so Gracie is ok with her now and I am too :-).

Today I got a Badenell family calendar for 2009.... filled with pictures of my darling daughter, and her 2 darling daughters, and my wonderful indulgent Son-in-law... my daughter married a jewel.
I also got my books from Amazon today... Danny Gregory's new book 'An Illustrated Life', Vivian Swift's new book 'When Wanderers Cease to Roam' and Charles Reid's 'Watercolor Secrets'... I don't know which one to devour first.

Packages from friends and family, the mailbox was full of treasures today, I'm feeling blessed because I wasn't expecting any of it, I was expecting my books from Amazon... they didn't come, maybe tomorrow.

I love Poinsettias. Didn't leave myself room to write, but that's ok, I didn't have a thing to say that was interesting.

Christmas was such a magical exciting time for me as a child... I think it's sad that the schools are now so politically correct they can't even SAY Christmas... how did that happen?
