It was a fabulous summer, but it's over now and I'm back. Husband retired, last child left home, house went up for sale....lots of stuff. So I'm looking to fall as a time to experiment. Onto new things. 😊 #KidLit #childrensillustration #kidlitart

When your partner retires it's a wonderful thing. When your last child leaves home, it's a wonderful thing. Now what do I do? Asking this question daily. I'll figure it out.

A little girl wearing overalls and skinny braids sits barefoot by a fence, grape leaves, rhubarb, strawberries, lily of the valley, a puddle, and a fence. She's playing with cars but looking in awe at a small green and gold dragon. The dragon is watching a little yellow worm.

RIP Hanna-Barbera composer Ted Nichols. His iconic cues for “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?” also included the show’s original theme song, which was only used for the first two episodes before being replaced with the more familiar song sharing the show’s title.
