To my dear friends Paul(Oct seventh) and Stacy(Oct sixth). I love you!!

This is Paul. We were out in a cabin on the Olympic Peninsula when I drew this. It's his "Man, that was a good bottle of merlot" look. We had a grand time. Lots of gourmet meals, wine, port, excellent desserts and good company. We all ended up groaning happily with overfull bellies and sweetly muddled heads. Sam ate caviar for the first time and man, did he love it-all over his face!

Stacy, my amazing sweet friend on Whidby Island, I met when i was a lonely new mama, and I'm still so thankful for her gracious warm presence in my life-even now that she's way out there on the island. I miss you Stacy! Come and get a massage soon, OK?
