No, I really can't write children's stories, but I'm happy enough to draw and paint pictures that could be part of a story. What's best is when I can suggest a story people wish they could read :)<br />All the best.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-9329534813392422092014-09-03T13:57:33.314-07:002014-09-03T13:57:33.314-07:00Thanks, Rob.

Good to see you have been drawing again...Hi Susan, <br />Good to see you have been drawing again, in the usual intricate captivating detail. I’m sure your potentially a wonderful writer of children's stories, just tell an interesting tale, as for children I think it is best to avoid any lengthy descriptions or emotional entanglements in storytelling. I do think we allow ourselves to be bombarded by the media!!<br />Best wishes <br />Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-81137291956152987642014-09-02T20:42:28.236-07:002014-09-02T20:42:28.236-07:00Ah, your drawings.

Nevertheless, it was a good thing you had her back through that intensely competitive period. Now your daughter gets to experience all the entertainment provided by your beautiful granddaughter. She'll still have that PhD when that fleeting period of childhood ends. I'm glad to know her mother is close. susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-23116168231502639562014-09-01T15:49:44.639-07:002014-09-01T15:49:44.639-07:00Children don't watch children's TV; they ...Children don't watch children's TV; they watch the same thing adults in their household do.<br />the Ol'BuzzardOl'Buzzardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075162476463971258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-80117807812289578342014-08-31T20:39:04.508-07:002014-08-31T20:39:04.508-07:00True indeed.

A long story so I won't get into it here but she was an accomplished runner back then, held national records for her age, once won a race it the 18 and under group, she was 7, to much dissatisfaction by others in her group. <br />Yeah, I was the one then who took her side in these instances; she was competitive, and had a sense of social rights and wrongs that sometimes intermingled. Like betting boys they weren't as fast for their lunch money....<br />Luckily for her, I was the ombudsman for the school back then........<br />So now she's a house mom with a Phd, does math on the side, and is just happy as can be. <br />Funny how things work out.

I don't, either. And moreover: Same goes for horror stories / films and certain other "genres".<br />As for the video: Nice try. Some minutes less of this "bombardment", and it would probably be even more impressive. <br />Rather than such kind of vain criticism we do need a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burren" rel="nofollow">Momo.</a>, obviously. :)<br />Apropos 'good book': What about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_Else_%28book%29" rel="nofollow">Something Else</a>? :)Sean Jeatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978285783271305489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-12507303426420807172014-08-30T19:42:44.366-07:002014-08-30T19:42:44.366-07:00Been looking at the sketch for a few minutes, and ...Been looking at the sketch for a few minutes, and one thing keeps me coming back to it: It's our eldest, sitting with her mother Cary when she was 8 or so....Cary has a few more years in the picture, but hey. Kate is saying 'Yeah, I took their lunch money, they really thought they could keep up with me on the track. So?" Cary is nodding, looking down. "Yes honey, but they went hungry that day." Kate shrugs, "They're fat mom, that's why they were gasping after a lap!" Cary smiles...."Yes, but that's why we have to help them honey....not take their lunch money." <br />The eldest girl gazes off. "When will dad be here, he'll get me off the hook with the principal."
