Family Friday

I have been asked to show another picture of Mr Karate. Here he is, reading Harry Potter. (He finished the book last night.) Remember I told you Mom is an Artist? Well, see the bookmark just below his hands -- it's a picture of a little boy reading a book? Well it is a picture of a drawing Mom did of Mr Karate when he was about 12, reading.

And here is another picture Mom took of the drawing a long time ago. That is Gizzy. He liked to be in the middle of everything.

Yes, Mom painted the dry sink those wild colors.

Family is the most important!

Darling Millie said...

Mrs Big called Mom and told her to put a particular picture of Mr Karate on the blog and then ALL the Mom beans would have to head for the icebox...

Mom knows which picture and she is thinkin' about it.

Mom doesn't draw much anymore because she has Arthur-itis in her hand.

Tyler said...

Millie, I agree with everyone else that your mom is a wonderful artist. My mom would be happy to have just a quarter of that talent. We're both sorry to hear about the arthritis because we know how much it hurts and can get in the way of living.
Have a fun Friday.
Toodles,
Tyler

Mr. Karate said...

Millie said...

Actually, Mom agrees with Mr Karate.

Your momma is a very talented artist. I am impressed and so is My Lady.

Lux said...

How talented your mom is to do such a drawing - nice picture of Mr. Karate, too!

Milton said...

Millie,
The drawing your mombean made of Mr Karate is furry beautiful!
He must have been a wonderful boy. The photo is extra special to have Gizzy there too.
My mombean is getting a little misty remembering the kitty she had when she was that age.

I think it might be a good idea to save the 'money shot' of Mr Karate for later ;)

Millie,
Your mom made such a lovely picture of Mr Karate. What a great reminder of when he was little.

Wish my mum could draw. She might be able to manage a smiley face.

Ohhh Mr Karate seems very nervous that his mom would show the other picture. It is ok Mr Karate, we know how you feel - us cats are nude all day, every day and constantly getting chased around by beans with cameras.

Have a lovely lazy weekend.

No picture of Mr. Karate? I think Mom's disappointed.
You are very talented, Mrs. Millie's Mom! We can vouch for that!

Shaggy and Scout said...

We are late commenting here but what a lovely picture of Gizzy!!!!!
That little boy drawing is breathtaking.....Mom is a reader from way back in her childhood and that drawing touches her heart. Our boys never became readers and mom is sad over that.
And Mr. Karate..................sigh.

Your mom is quite the talented artist. Our dad is the artist in our family. Mom and dad are both big readers; mom finished HP last week and dad is half way through it now.
