Today my Father asked "What country are we going to send that painting to?"
& he was delighted when I told him - he mentioned a good book he had read that took place in your homeland - I'll have to ask him again what the title was. keeping your anonymity safe on my reply here... :)

Perhaps your ears were burning the other day (an expression that means someone was talking about you) - my Dad was saying how sad he was when he asked one of the nurses about Handel's Messiah & she had no idea what he was talking about. He was sad because he thinks that certain classics of art, music, literature - should be part of our knowledge base. I mentioned you & how you shattered that poor stereotype as you are in the know about pop culture AND classical topics..

*blushing deep red* Oh, my... I don't deserve so much praise. Thank you!

I agree with your dad about culture being deprecated nowadays. It's so sad.
I try to learn as much as I can, but I am aware that I'm quite ignorant and foolish. It startles me when people don't realize of their own ignorance in a positive way... like "Oh, I should know this because it's important, so I'll try to learn about it." I think the world could be heavenly, if we only... just a little bit... all tried to acquire a bit more culture. At least, many mistakes of the past wouldn't repeat in cycles, I think.

Usually I fend off King's kiss attacks, but I thought it would make a cute picture - but they were moving to fast to pose properly

OMG BREAD. You have no idea how much I LOVE bread with an ultimate passion!!!!

Yay puppy faces!!! XD

Please send me a message with your most current address - I'm sure my father would be more then happy to let me select one for you.

Glad to know that you (and your father!) are doing better :) That second photo is precious!!!
