PANCAKE ART

It's been awhile since I've done this -- like last February during the Bishop's visit. The Kid came to me with one of her toy horses and said, "I want this."

Now "this" was a horse, three legs on the ground, one back leg lifted up towards its head, and the head bowed down to bite the raised leg (maybe it has an itch). Hmmmm . . .

My first response was, "I can't do that!" It's funny what you'll attempt to avoid an angry pre-teen girl.

So I drew it out on paper (always a necessity to get practice first), mixed up the batter, and proceeded to turn her horse into a pancake. I was extremely skeptical about it at first, but when I got done with it . . . damn!! I did really well.

I made two comments to Mrs. Ref: 1) This one ranks right up there with the monstrance I did for Tripp when I was down in Columbus; and 2) This almost might be worth investing in a digital camera and figuring out how to post pics of my artwork.

And now I need to get to work on that other thing I do fairly well -- putting together my sermon for tomorrow.
