Gimme ice...You too? I loveee pugs and they are always puppies. Well, it's 1 am here and I did not spend new years alone. My son in law decided he was going to stay home too and work on his art work. This is also the son in law that carved me a 14 inch high music note out of alabaster for christmas. Yes he really did, It is absolutely beautifull. Anyway, I didn't have time to get sentimental and depressed tonight. And I did learn a lot about my stone carving. Where he got the rock...how many hundred hours are in it. So all in all, it probably worked out for the best. He is different because he's an artist but I am also because I am a musician. I play many instruments. He has been trying for a long time to really win me over and I have always told him I respect him because he makes my daughter happy. But I think he finally got me. I hope I am not off subject too much but this carved music note has been a big deal for me. It has really picked up my spirits. Everyone can't believe he did that and for me? It is his second piece [he also paints] And he has a showing in March that he has to paint and sculpt for. I wish you could see it. It has really boosted my spirits. And I know it is not something he would have chose to do. So I guess you would say we "bonded" sigh...
