Great that you met your objective. That's always gratifying and a relief! That one was definitely "moody". Now then, I need you to paint me somethin' "happy".

Thanks for checking in, bj. I know you had to take a break for a while since this was so depressing. Believe me, we understand.
Bless your heart.

WOW! This is nice to read.

OK, so.........since you brought up phone calls from your past. Tell me what I should do about this one. On my phone messages last week I found one from my first heart throb........ back in SIXTH GRADE! Haven't heard hide ner hair of him since 19..... uh, we'll just leave it at that. He says he's in...

Setback. We really thought we were looking at getting her sprung on Monday, but she spiked fever last night. They're doing cultures and every test imaginable. Anemia is still a huge prob. She's really not up to getting her crazietalk going at the moment. But, we feel the vibes, just the same. Bless ...

That does it! :shock: I'm gonna just keep hangin' with the snakes in Hyco Lake, bless their hearts.

Your paintings never turn to mud.....no matter what the subject. Anybody who has ever tried watercolor understands. Getting those darkest darks and yet keeping them alive is your trademark, I think.

I'd be interested to know how you prepare your paper, especially on something 30 inches.

Fortunately for all of us, there's enough Blue Devil to go around!!
What a guy!

That's great! Congratulations, guys. Do you have a song of your own that you dance to on these occasions? The old prof and I are coming up on our fiftieth before long and "A Summer Place" still gives us goosebumps. what's yours?

Love, Ima

I hope your temporary living quarters keep you as comfy as Chloe seems to be! She's precious. FYI, they are "The Great SMOKY Mountains", so I guess that makes it pretty official.
Love, Ima

Yep. It takes one on a walk right around the right side of those trees and back up into the light and beyond into the deep woods. Good job. I sure do envy you your painting time. I just can't find enough of it to make much progress. You've really been cranking them out lately and I can see you getti...

Frighteningly, I CAN do a cartwheel. Ever seen a 290 lb. dude do a cartwheel? Not pretty, but I can do one.

Hmmm, I'm impressed and I think it's time the Duke cheerleaders added a man!

Sarah's computer is actually her work laptop issued by Durham Public Schools. Must be their system that was part of this problem. We'll see if what you've done has cleared it up.

Thanks guys,
Love, Ima

Hmmm, I guess it's her computer.

I was at the hospital this afternoon with Sarah and we were signing her up for crazietalk using her laptop. We were trying to come up with a good username for her so we decided to ask all you guys for suggestions. When we tried to post the topic, an error message came back saying the IP address had ...

WOW! Now that took guts, Mr. Painterman! I rmember, when looking through your SF photos, thinking that getting a painting out of that one would be a real challenge.....not one I'd take on for sure. So hard to simplify and keep everything straight. Now, sit back and enjoy that proud feeling you just ...

Oh MAN! How awful. I have skimmed all these messages and didn't notice an explanation of how the fire started. Is it in here someplace? How long do you estimate being homeless? Hugs to you and Chloe. YOu are both troopers!
Love, Ima

Soooooo happy for ya! Keep us posted. Sounds like you can't make a bad choice with any of these!!
Love, Ima

I am embarrassed this AM. I feel like a teenager going out on a date for the 1st time or to the prom who just can't get that pimple to clear up before his/her big night. Here I am going to see my gastroenterologist (henceforth known as GI Doc), and I will be showing up with about a 5 day old zit in...

Rising early this Monday morning, DD, and sending good vibes your way for your exam this morning. It isn't bad......honest. You'll be in la la land the whole time. We're all looking forward to hearing about your breakfast reward! I suggest French toast at Elmo's.

Love, Ima
