...and the winners are...

If I had an award to give (...and, why don't I?!) for the most avid followers of my blog (s), it sounds like it might have to be a tie between these two-- my mom, Jan, and my sister Dawn. I only see Dawn, who lives in Wisconsin, once or twice a year, yet while she was here everything was as familiar to her as though she lived up the block, having seen it on The Blog. All the members of my family are-- and always have been-- incredibly supportive of me, my art-- you name it, and I am so grateful for them. Thanks, guys!
