If he is successful. I will probably have to give you a holler about how to put it up. I love that taste.

It's about the contemplative edifying words Reverend Okke Jager spoke at the end of the night in the first years of television in the fifties. The first chapter is titled: Seeing with your heart. <br />Love your sketches!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715473069364081174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-62570998223428422812012-04-25T08:30:10.531-04:002012-04-25T08:30:10.531-04:00HI Vicki - great post.

That looks like Dutch (Netherlands) rather than German - so I put it through a couple of translation sites and the closest I can get is 'We can speak of luck'.

They have such an odd bunch of angles to them that they're very hard to draw. The chair on the left works the best, I think. Keep going with them, and sooner or later they'll just finally decide to behave! The soup looks really tasty in its cute bowl, and you photos as always, are spectacular. The pears are lovely and I really like the dark blue shadow! See you soon!! hugs, nancynanke's stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597989427187199295noreply@blogger.com
