On second thought...<br /><br />Thanks, Kristen, it seems that a botanical illustrator would be a natural to transition in to fairies. <br /><br />Faithy, say hello to all the fairies at your house. You should go ahead and say "Abilene" as often as you like. Insert it randomly into Abilene sentences. You might Abilene start some new trend. Tolkien love the sound of "cellar door" for some reason. He thought it pleased the ear.Richard Jesse Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526212532259535346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499490937649345211.post-39584108896611264712010-09-16T16:52:17.878-07:002010-09-16T16:52:17.878-07:00Ooh!

I wish I was at your Abilene demo, and not just because I like saying the word Abilene. I'm sure it was a treat to watch you working old style.Faith Prayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711135740295281493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499490937649345211.post-63770744607320783202010-09-16T09:24:13.144-07:002010-09-16T09:24:13.144-07:00This was highly entertaining.

Some are nice some are not. Some are not even small and cute. They are masters of disguise and pass as butterflies or crickets. Some live with toads and slugs and some live in your pantry. Some like people and some do not. Gifts are highly recommended so as not to offend them. Just keep your eyes and mind open, watch your back and do not completely trust any fairy. This knowledge comes from my heritage filled with Irish and Swedish ancestors.Kate Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861373649696211491noreply@blogger.com
