An Art Museum will sort things out like no other place, too.
Excellent! And I bet the small white dog wins! R
I did mine on FB. That was enough exposure for me, I think.
Happy birthday~r
seer - yeah, i have always been "that" mom and my house was always "that" house.
rita - the monkey is distracted, trying to write poems.
Kim - i love the sort of interactions that can take place only in an art museum... as a much younger woman i used to think dancing with someone was the best way to learn things about them... but an art museum works better. hmmm..maybe dancing at an art museum?
joan - i didnt see it on FB... now i have to go hunt yours down. and i like you too...if we lived down the street from one another i suspect i would be hanging out at your kitchen table a lot.
heron - i have a few original Brautigans that i am shocked havent gotten lost in any of several moves across country. i think he was my first love. i suspect if he was still around i would be stalking him. lol
Candace - gluttony on a beach sounds like a damn good time!
Stim - ahhh memories. i dunno if he really was good, or if as my first love he is just one of the few who are memorable... but im giving him the benefit of the doubt.
