With apologies to P.G. Wodehouse...

My son, the artist

From around our house:

First, I had to share this painting Demi did in art class. It is so be-yew-ta-full! I had to share, being the proud-as-punch momma that I am... Very seasonal, don't you think?

Next, a conversation today...

Demi: "I don't like Jeeves & Wooster, I hate Jeeves & Wooster. There is too much talking!

Talk, talk, talk,...talking all the time. And, no fighting and punching either..."

With sincere apologies to P.G. Wodehouse, my 6 year old is just not impressed. However, 2/3 of this household are very enthusiastic about Jeeves & Wooster, I will even add that we love it and own all the dvds. -what-ho, and all that...

Last, I think I figured out the melody to the hymn I shared here...I think it might be to the tune of "the answer is blowing in the wind" or whatever it is titled. I think-I was born in the 70's, so I am not an expert on 60's music. It is close to it at least, maybe a little more "lilting"?

File under neon green shirts and legwarmers...

It is no use to ask the bible college students about the melody...they are all younger than I and would have no clue, sorry as I am to say it, but there it is.

I love the "blowing in the wind" melody. I know exactly which you're talking about!
At 2:48 PM, Barb said...: All you need to find in order to be more familiar with 60's music is an old Peter, Paul and Mary CD. Blowin' in the Wind is an old favorite of mine. :-)

And I would soooo frame that drawing. It's gorgeous.
At 9:14 PM, Becca said...: I love the painting! The colors are gorgeous.

The P.G. Wodehouse comment cracks me up! It is indeed, nothing but talk talk talk. Wodehouse is one of the only authors where I laugh out loud while reading.
