Case of the missing drawings solved....

These are two drawings that were made by my father back around the days when he was dating my mother.
As you can tell he was a very talented artist.
These two drawings were always around my parents' house, and we looked at and admired often.
After I went to the States, they somehow got lost.
For years we argued about who had them and where they were.
The general consenses was that since I loved them so much I had taken them with me to America.
I don't remember taking them.
But every chance we get, the conversation gets around these two pictures...and we are left to wonder where the hell they dissapeared to.

Wellllll..........................

Today I get an email from my nephew from Spain (my sister's youngest, my favorite :>))

He was in Holland over the weekend and since he had the house to himself, so he went snooping.

:>)

Guess what he found!

I have no idea if my sister knew she had them, they must have been stuffed in a box somewhere.
Makes you wonder how thorough my nephew must have been snooping!

It really cracked me up to see these pictures. My father doesn't draw anymore, but in his younger days he would do portraits that would come out looking like photographs.

I hope my nephew takes care of them and maybe get them fixed up a bit and framed.

Other than that it has been quiet here in Cartersville.
I haven't been feeling well. Every evening I get sick to my stomach, Last night something was bouncing around the upper part of my tummy, you could see it move, felt like a baby kicking. SO weird!!!
I am trying to relax as much as I can, drink plenty of water, try not to eat alot of garbage. But I don't have much of an appetite anyway.

Monday morning I messed up my lower back again while shaving my legs.
Not too severely this time, thank God, Advil and rest made it feel better, but hoisting up the little bugger to change her diapers is getting to be a chore. Not to mention trying to keep track of her.

We built a 'fort' today under the small table, where she got cozy for a while, and when that novelty wore off, she decided to climb...all over the place...heart stopping action, folks! Whew!

I let her run around in her new bathing suit, but didn't feel like blowing up the new little
pool I got her. So we blew bubbles instead.

Did I mention that she now sings entire songs? Even one Dutch one?
She does a great version of Twinkle Twinkle little starrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....it's so damn cute!

She cracks us up with her new mutterings, like: it's hot in here! or: what's WRONG with you? (said to no one in particular), or watching her walk around with my sweater fuzz shaver, pretending it's a cell phone: hello? Oh, hi!, uhuh, uhuh, okay, bye!

SGMKJ!
