    That picture is fantastic. Thanks for the link to Memoir (and). It's a new one for me. Sounds like it's right up my alley.

    Tammy and Val--I will pass on the compliments to Jason.

    I think it's right up BOTH your alleys.

    Sioux, I thought this was a photo of you in childhood. Soulful eyes. Jason is an artiste!

    Wow! I agree with everyone. Your son has a wonderful talent. Painting/Drawing is always something I wished I could do....but my people always come out Stick-People! Thanks for the memoir news, too.

    Linda--Jason IS talented. And Riley DOES have the most beautiful, expressive eyes I've ever seen. But she's my only grandkid, so I'm just a bit subjective.

    Mama Zen--I will pass it onto Jason. And thank YOU for the wonderful poetry you post.

    Becky--Jason is my son-in-law, but if I could, I'd gladly claim him as my own. I hope you're planning on submitting a story?

    I'm in awe of anyone with that type of artistic talent. I'm limited to stick figures, myself, so it blows me away that someone has that wonderful perspective. And I agree...your granddaughter is a beautiful girl!

    Hey Lisa! Stick figures? Did you see my comment? I'm glad we share a common malady! :D
    And Sioux....I will definitely look into the guidelines and see about giving it a try!
