And now that I have it, what to do with it?   Looky here!!!

Sundays at our house are reserved for art, music, food and fun. Anyone can come and enjoy the day....Papa and I await guests while Mama cooks food.

Papa pulls out all his art supplies and piles them on the table.

Uncle Beane arrives...he always makes me  smile.

Everyone does something creative, like  Drawing.

We have dinner and Dessert or  mocha's.

A sudden rainstorm blew in moments ago. I was in the garage when it hit....moving toward the garage entrance I noticed the rain coming in hard and sideways....I was busy thinking about getting my bare feet wet going to the house....rounding the corner I spied two of the most beautiful faces I know peering at the rain through the Storm Door...

I only posted this because of Moose's wonderful tutorial on levels.

Before Levels
