Yesterday, I received a note card in the mail. When I opened it, this little kitty in the bread pan made me laugh, and I thought: "How appropriate for me. I wonder who sent it?"
Then I opened it up and couldn't believe it! There I was staring not just at the cutest picture of my nephew, Julian, but at a piece of his most excellent artwork! He drew this for me after I had sent him this link to a live web cam of an eagle's nest.
Is he a gifted budding artist or what?! Not only that, but he's writing and not even in first grade yet! And do I sound like a proud aunt? Well, I am!! Danke, Julian!! Ich schreibe auch ganz bald zurueck!
This inspired me to pick up my paintbrush again and paint. Tomorrow, I have a recipe to share with you, but on Saturday, it'll be more of my art!
In the meantime, thank you all for you continued visits, your inspiring comments, (your patience with the temporary word verification), and for making me smile and often even laugh out loud! You all are the best!!
Silke that's wonderful, I love getting little suprises in the mail like that, it makes me smile for the whole day!!

ReplyDeleteI know just how a proud Aunt feels (love my Maddy girl!) He is adorable and that little drawing is priceless. I would frame that and call it equal with the most expensive painting in my house! He made that with love just for you~~~

Ja! Ja! Wir sollten auf unsere Kinder, Neffeen und Nichten stolz sein, wenn sie die Sachen mit den zartesten Gefühlen tun. Dieses ist, was das Leben gut bildet. Sie sind geliebte Silke und sehr viel so. Ich hoffe, dass mein Deutscher Ihnen sinnvoll ist.
ReplyDeleteOh isn't he the cutest boy?
ReplyDeleteAnd what a talent. Looks just like an eagle nest.
The cat in the pan is darling.
The face is so sweet.
Have a great dear one.
love and hugs.
Ces speaks German??? I'm so confused. **head spins and pops off** Silke, being an Auntie is so wonderful and such an important role to the child. My own nieces and nephew were almost grown by the time I had my children, and I got to enjoy them for many years. I love being an Auntie and now a Great-Auntie. That's ever better! Oh, I think the kitty is ready to eat. **kisskiss** Deb
