Sketches

Some of us sit down with a bowl of popcorn to watch TV and relax, or knit, crochet, cross-stitch, or even read a book or magazine - all while the TV is on. Amy has a sketchbook on her coffee table and an assortment of pens and colored pencils. She sketches and draws while watching TV. She is one of many of my family who draws, paints, doodles, and sketches, like this -

We had a wonderful time while I was at her house and I miss her; I'm sure Oscar does, too. I don't know what I/we would have done without all her help while my broken leg has been healing. I'm thankful for all that time we had and the ways I could help her out, too, in these last couple of weeks - making her lunches and "first" coffee in the mornings, making soup and cornbread, feeding her dogs, doing a little laundry - just keeping company with her. It wasn't easy coming home today.
Don't get too busy to relax... and doodle!
