Talent

Finally the print of 'Santa on horseback' that is given pride of place on the livingroom wall each December has been put away for another year. I was about to return the picture of a First Nation's Chief to its customary position when I came across this one. Seems to me it was painted either by my Grandma or my Aunt Lola (Dad?). Pretty sure it's family anyway. Which begs the question - how come I didn't get any artistic talent? (Neither did Dad, for that matter.)

Dear Liz.
It was painted by my kid sister Lola,who is now 77 years young.She was in her twenties when she did it.
Beautiful.
I used to stand in front of the mirror each night and admire my naked body And think that I should get someone to paint my portrait,but then a peeping-tom called one night and begged me to keep my blinds closed, so that was the end of my dreams.
Dad.

I like it Liz, put it on the wall and keep it there. It looks bizarrely like where I live. Which is a bit spooky considering all the stuff we've been saying about snow.
Nice message from your dad too!

Dorito - it's pretty good, isn't it? My family's soooo talented.

Dad - Aunt Lola, eh. Sure hope the cousins don't find out I have it. Glad the peeping tom came by.

Philip - it's going to stay there for awhile, I think. Pretty sure you guys have had more snow this winter than we have. I'm hoping we get more soon. And please don't encourage my Dad. ;o)
