It really is just a white cotton background. I should have tried to get the blue out in Photoshop, but for some reason, I didn't pay attention to it.<BR/><BR/>kimy - I agree! I love moodling. BTW, I've received my copy of <I>Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World</I> (that you recommended). Love the cover and the title.

Now, if I can just learn to narrate an interesting story and create all the characters and symbols--like on Walter's quilt!<BR/><BR/>Losing a parent is a terrible process. Hope your dad is comforted by the love and concern you and your family radiate.<BR/><BR/>Karoda-- I love watching Jude's expanding and experimental stories. <BR/><BR/>As to Laddie's dehydration, as the disease marches forward, he is less able to understand the need or to feel the thirst. The dehydration results in delirium, even if it is mild dehydration-- so everyone is always encouraging him to drink, but he is still a headstrong man. When he is unable to understand the need and doesn't feel the thirst, it takes cunning and persistence to get enough fluids in him.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-23668430969092118012007-09-20T12:46:00.000-05:002007-09-20T12:46:00.000-05:00Delightful!
