I felt like I was sitting with y'all, having tea & birdwatching.<BR/>Many people I know feel a strong, personal affinity to water, either in general, or to a specific body. I used to hold the Atlantic particularly dear (having grown up on Long Island, NY.) After having lived within a mile of it for 18 years, <A HREF="http://www.great-lakes.net/lakes/ref/eriefact.html" REL="nofollow">Lake Erie</A> now holds special significance for me. It's been a friend, a playmate, a food source, a therapist, a lover. I even brought some of her sand with me when I moved, so I'd never <I>really</I> be far away.

The Wisconsin River is one of the coolest places I've ever been, but I rarely get to see it in winter. We really must go canoeing on it next summer. It's amazing that so much of it has been saved from development. As Suzy mentioned, you really half expect to see dinosaurs around any bend. I've yet to see a dinosaur, but there is always an abundance of birds to be seen.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04936679109203808216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721682005726797907.post-3822089342020322932008-01-16T20:34:00.000-06:002008-01-16T20:34:00.000-06:00Caroline, so much about this post spoke to me (as ...Caroline, so much about this post spoke to me (as your work so often does!)The Wisconsin River is an amazing treasure, and much of its shoreline is conservation land. I love crossing the bridge at Spring Green, which looks like it was built from an erector set, and you look down the river and half expect to see dinosaurs standing in the water! It gives me chills!<BR/><BR/>I also have a memory of my father making a plum pudding with hard sauce one Christmas. He probably made it for his buddies at Student Health, or his tootling friends, so your dad was involved either way. :-) I didn't much care for the pudding, but (and what does this say about me?) I loved the hard sauce!Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333782408387579016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721682005726797907.post-14294254097131539602008-01-16T18:25:00.000-06:002008-01-16T18:25:00.000-06:00Hi Caroline!I really enjoyed your depiction of the...Hi Caroline!<BR/>I really enjoyed your depiction of the big city!

I love your drawings with colour! Jean's book is an interesting read... I started reading the preview and then realised that I hadn't left you a comment. <BR/><BR/>I hope you aren't going to be under the weather for too long - otherwise I'll have to take to printing out your line drawings and colouring them.That was fun, btw!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721682005726797907.post-90731839960951436372008-01-16T05:23:00.000-06:002008-01-16T05:23:00.000-06:00I loved this story.
