That first image is my feeble second attempt at PhotoShop. I prefer the original sketchy kitchen-table version below. 
I have really missed reading and staying in touch with my BlogFriends! We have decided to live without the Internet in our home. In addition, I have started a demanding teaching job, which leaves me with little energy to draw. And then my dog ate my crayons....so, no post this week. Hey, I'm not dead yet. Many people have written to say that they will miss me. I'm still going to post and comment, just not from my home.
Thanks for leaving comments on Crayons last week. I revel in reading your insights. I will make weekly visits to the library in order to surf, read, and leave comments. I will continue to post each weekend.
