Did you notice something wrong with that last drawing?? I didn't until it was pointed out to me. Let me give you a hint: this boy would not make a very good dance partner.

See it now?! He had two left feet.

I am working with my old friends at the Horn Book on a little something.
Here's a peek:

We just returned from a wonderful visit to France. As a celebration of my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, the family got together in Dordogne. We spent a week together in a little town called St. Jean de Cole. We loved everything- the pastries, the chateaus, the countryside, the towns and cities, and the pace of life. Here a few of my favorite pictures from the trip.
Thomas is modeling a hat at a market in Brantome in the first picture.
The second photo is, of course, the Eiffel Tower.
The third photo is Tom,Edie, and Thomas walking along the Seine at night.

I was able to take this picture of my dog before she ran off. She hates the high pitched electronic noise it makes and so I am forever trying to get a nice picture of her. Her name is Ilse. She is a six year old Bernese Mountain Dog, and about as sweet and friendly as a dog can be. When she is not at the office with Tom, she hangs out at home with me.
