Yep, there she is...our mermaid is back and she yakking on her shell-phone, no doubt telling all her friends that she made Illustration Friday for the second time. Not quite as good as making People Magazine, but still impressive.
It is supposed to hit 85 degrees here today and 90 tomorrow. Also tomorrow, Adam gets home about 2:30 and boy, are we excited! He will probably sleep for about 24 hours and then we will actually get to visit with him.
Bonnie is volunteering at the Bus Project for the month she is home, and she started that today. Bus Project=progressive political organization that especially recruits young folks. In fact, we will be hosting a student intern of theirs for the summer (Britta, attends Reed College, from Astoria Oregon, spent the last term at the University of East Anglia in England) and she will get Bonnie's room when she goes back to Colgate.
Too cute! Nice job!

I wish I could find a swimsuit top that's as cute as the one Miss Mermaid is wearing! I love that pattern!
Hope you are having a good time with your kids...the whole family together again. Hooray!

How lovely illustration! Especially the texture on mermaid's tail and bikinitop is pretty.
I want that shell-mobile, it's way cooler than my boring, traditional model.

So cute! And I like the colors...

i like the two fish next to each other. in fact, i'd like to see this as its own little painting... i think it would be an effective icon/image.
