  A page from one of my art journals, that had been doodled then colored with Pitt pens.    This page represents many evenings of "sofa time" with DH.....while he watches all his prerecorded TV programs.......but wants me to watch too........only I'm not really interested in them.....sssshhhh! Don't let on about that! Happy weekend! Krisha   In memory of my brother, who would have been 62 today. Laugh, love and live it up....because this is the oldest you have been and the youngest you'll ever be again!
