And add some of your work, like the paintings like Edge of the Yard and Two Door (off the cuff favorites). <br /><br />"Crazy Train, White Wedding, Lay it on the Line, La Grange" - wow the memories, or more precisely, sort-of memories. Any time you are down, re-read this post and smile. Like an I-can-barely-see-the-world-because-I'm-smiling smile. You did good.<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-14925459707533794702008-12-26T01:23:00.000-05:002008-12-26T01:23:00.000-05:00Beautiful art work.Beautiful art work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-746588286679842982008-12-25T22:30:00.000-05:002008-12-25T22:30:00.000-05:00Tracy, I just want to put my arms around you and g...Tracy, I just want to put my arms around you and give you a big hug. That was a sad story to read ( whenever children are separated from families is so sad). You certainly managed to get through it without making detrimental choices....your art is wonderful, and it's true, you do have a very entertaining style of writing.
