Rae asked me if, when I was a child, did I ever think I would grow up to be such a good grandma.

Rae has been teaching me art. The tree was presented as a background for other elements to come. The close-up of the tree is so you can understand that it has been sparkleized. Sparkleizing is painting glitter over any other surface. The orange creatures are V-neck foxes. These rare creatures seldom seen in the wild. The large one is the parent and the small one a baby. The small fox does not have any markings on it yet. The final picture is a red fox next to a rainbow. My efforts in following her directions are not posted.

Such a different David Balducci book. Set during the London blitz but makes one think of life in Ukraine right now Read by a full cast.

Rae the Shadow Weaver

This was a clay hammer but when we moved, Rick cut the hammer part short to make it into a culinary hammer. Using it on the back of the big knife blade helps it cut through a squash.

This is Rae drawing her self- portrait. The hair is braided. The front teeth are missing. Fox ears are showing above the gem on their forehead.
