End of May storm brings a creative project

It is the 24th of May and it is snowing. Very wet, soaking snow. I haven't blogged for a long time, as you can see. Busy working, raising my kids, starting on another try at a kid's book. This time I may find success because I am determined to make it very short and simple, but I still want to stuff the story with everything. I was inspired by a book about a siamese cat named Skippy Jon Jones. It has a simple story, but the paintings have alot of added depth and interest. I am not a writer, and only want to write and illustrate a few little books because I have always had so much respect, and interest in author/illustrators who can do it.

I took my kids to California last month. Their first time out of the state. They loved Legoland, and the beach. I could use that weather again now, as I open my umbrella and slog out into the crazy snow.
