And speaking of grace and timing... this post of yours is just what I (in my new job) needed to hear today. And I love the frogs (you know I have a special spot in my heart for frogs). I actually have a frog painting in the works. As a matter of fact this post inspires me to get off my online rump and pick up my brush.Steve Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628329561652344403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-52149517110977042342012-09-03T19:15:43.783-07:002012-09-03T19:15:43.783-07:00Nice to see you again, Lindsay.
