Today was a special day, because my niece, Emily Burton, 8, has spent the last five hours with me. She’s visiting my brother and sister-in-law, and they graciously gave the two of us some time together. Actually, I must include the cats, Bear and Shadow, because there was a lot of interaction between them and Emily.
Emily lives in Mossyrock, Washington with her parents and nine brothers and sisters. And three dogs: Hershey, Skittles, and Snickers.
We ended up in my office, with Emily drawing a picture of a castle, a princess with a dog on a leash, a treasure chest, and a village house…with a special guardian gate. We did a lot of artistic editing with various software programs and she chose the one you see here to go on my blog. What a delightful evening with a charming young lady…
