Hi Vicki... So very glad you didn't break anything. I have osteoporosis too, so I worry when I fall. I've been very lucky so far.

Also, GOOD LUCK ON STARTING YOUR ART WORK AGAIN!!!! I know you'll love getting back to it. Have patience with yourself...remember it's been a while, but the talent is right there waiting for you.

A funny thing... I just a moment ago put my name on the portrait I've been working on for a client of his grandson. It's finally finished, and I'm so happy because he really wanted it for his daughter and her husband for Christmas. (I hate to disappoint people) Anyway, I've got it on my bookcase drying, and decided to pick up my e-mail. Well, there was an e-mail from the man who wrote the music for the children's music book I'm illustrating. He and his wife want me to paint a portrait of their grandchildren! Isn't that funny in a serendipitous kind of way? Annette

Hi Annette... I'm with you, I worry about the same thing when I fall.

Actually, I'm much better off falling while in the front field because

it's so soft down there. Up here, where I fell the other night, it's a

little harder... that was the first thing I thought of once I landed...

" Did I break something this time " ...

I'm so glad you're not only able to do the work you love but you're

getting so much work to do... how wonderful is that! As long as you can

go at your own pace and not be rushed you'll be able to do a lot. I take

it your hands don't bother you very much, if any....

Thanks for the encouragement... I've started it and my right hand got

tired after 5 minutes of holding the pencil. So I worked on it for an

hour... picked up the pencil, put the pencil down... shake the hands

out, rest the hands....LOL I think this should be done by the year

2003.... :~)

Hope you had a great day

Take care

Vicki
