It is a rich blessing to see that innocence and rapt attention to the evolving world in front of your new child. These ... are quite simply the richest blessings of parenthood!<br /><br />Enjoy your time with your "Twinkle-toes" Lisa... for they move into the next stage ever so quickly. Each new step forward... is paradoxically one step further from you as well. You will be left to "wonder"... not quite the same... where the time has flown.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and for sharing your own experience here!<br /><br />Good Printmaking!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-85441931046399214582015-04-17T09:08:34.703-04:002015-04-17T09:08:34.703-04:00Please do...

It was magical watching Twinkletoes watching his first real butterfly that was drying it's wings in the sun. He was so excited to see it and I think made the connection with the one in his picture book. He didn't make a sound just stared and pointed in wonder until it flew off then didn't stop 'chattering' for ages. It was quite a moment.<br /><br />Hope you have a lovely trip with lots of magical paintings.Lisa Le Quelenechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939073566444931704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-29748582098932916552015-04-16T08:07:39.861-04:002015-04-16T08:07:39.861-04:00Good morning Lass... and Happy Spring to you!.... ...Good morning Lass... and Happy Spring to you!.... I was beginning to worry when your posts seem to vanish for so long! Glad that you are again... "on tap"! HA HA!! <br /><br />Andrew's early work is indeed "full of life" and color... but not nearly as FULL OF LIFE...and colour... HA HA!... as his latest "masterpiece"... Mr. Mac!!!<br /><br />Spring has indeed sprung in these parts... and my painting pal Frank and I enjoyed a wonderfully full and sunny day "out there" yesterday. I will soon post the outcome from that foray! Stay tuned...<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by!<br /><br />Good Spring Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />Bruce<br /><br />Bruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-19798495108627962372015-04-16T05:41:13.581-04:002015-04-16T05:41:13.581-04:00Greetings laddie! good to hear and see the wonderf...Greetings laddie! good to hear and see the wonderful time you have been having with the family, the baby is growing up so fast!

Frank and I will be gone after breakfast for the day!<br /><br />The pancake and syrup fest was a complete success. Those pancakes... dripping in melted butter and fresh syrup were the sweetest I can recall ! Mr. Mac thought so too!<br /><br />He is a "Heinz 57"... a smidgen of Melissa... maybe a dash of Grampa - BUT... He's a chip off the ol' block... dead ringer fro Andrew... as a child and even now through his current eyes and face shape!<br /><br />I am so very proud of Andrew and his family... and each of the other four children. "I"... am deeply blessed!<br /><br />Good Painting... and Happy Spring Sherry!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-23146910069443079452015-04-15T06:16:11.776-04:002015-04-15T06:16:11.776-04:00God morning (here) Helen!...

The world is indeed a strange and complex place... that far too often... we take for granted!<br /><br />Our (winter) world has has been the most severely cold in my recent memory and has left the room only recently... and strangely... in a very sudden two day window!<br /><br />Spring things are looking up... fresh greens are appearing and flowers have pushed their buds out of the thawing ground. We will be out there today... plein airing again! Can't wait!<br /><br />Happy autumn to you Helen! ... HA HA!!!

I must be hungry! Love seeing the family photos and I was thinking the little man looks quite a bit like his grandpa. An extraordinary gift left behind...the grandkids.

"a bonny lad"... and great addition to our family!<br /><br />"Old traditions... through new eyes"... I like that thought Lisa immensely Lisa. If you wouldn't mind... I would love to build my next post around that very phrase. I have been running the content through my mind for a few days... and your phrase really encapsulates the very direction I had hoped to follow!<br /><br />I'm off tomorrow with my painting pal Frank... for another plein air adventure, Can't wait! Spring has finally... fully... and gloriously arrived!<br /><br />Thanks for your visit and timely and very stimulating comments Lisa!<br /><br />Good Painting!... and Happy Spring!<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-44136518378297174022015-04-14T17:03:31.370-04:002015-04-14T17:03:31.370-04:00What adventures you have all had.
