I love our off-to-the-side chat here. 

Without question one of the threads that keeps me coming back time and again to this board. 

I finished the watercolor of Betty for our Anniversary Party invitation.  My scanner isn't big enough for the image, so there's an uncomfortable gray shadow on the head, the forepaw and the tail.  I'm gonna try to re-scan it at school on Monday, but wanted to post.'

And I, you, Don.  Frankly, everyone on this thread.  I love our off-to-the-side chat here.
