Right after work I dashed over to pick up my sister and we came straight home. As we ran up the stairs we told Chris we would just eat in the art room while we worked in our books. I had a bicycle to draw. Mary Ann had a raccoon to work on.
Then we started humming Melanie songs from the 70's. If you haven't heard the nickel song for awhile (or if you have never heard of it all) please go and listen. Maybe it will help explain these journal pages.
I am going to go to bed right now and then get up in the morning and draw raccoons like this one my sister did. Then as soon as I perfect my technique I am going to quit my job and become a raccoon portrait painter.
I was eagerly awaiting your bicycle...and you DID NOT disappoint! It is so wonderful. I have always wanted to draw one, I think I will try now.

I did not know that song and I really like it. I can just imagine you two painting and singing. I am smiling just thinking about it. My sister and I are getting together to draw today - perhaps a bicycle and a raccoon could be worked into the mix. Or maybe a roller-skate. I will be singing (only in my head) the nickel song and the bicycle song all day.

Sounds like you are all having a blast. We are enjoying the fruits of your artsy endeavors. :)

Racoon and bicycle passed with distinction!
Melanie... nothing but inspired... love that gal :)

I don't remember Melanie from the 70's...where the heck was I?
Ya did great on the bicycle and MA's raccoon is too cute for words. Sounds like you two are humming right along...how long will the hum-a-long, paint-a-long last? Did Chris feed you two so you wouldn't starve?
