How we love Mamsey's tour down the river with all the ducks, froggy, fishy, and water critters! Red and white striped swimwear, how fashionable! Sarah and I have always loved waterside viewing! Our Corgi Katrina used to love to watch the frogs along the bank of the pond jump into the water. We would walk all the way around and Katrina got the biggest thrill out of it!<br /><br />Your cousins,<br />Diane and daughter Sarah and Tillie Tinkham the seamstress mouse at the Corgyncombe CourantDiane Shepard Johnson and Sarah E.

That's what my grandmother used to call torrents of rain. <br /><br />I can't wait for the release of your new book! Indeed, Mamsey looks so peaceful. I'm sure she must be hearing the music in her mind as she paddles. And I love the way you created the wonderful creatures in the bark of the old tree. What fun to search for them! I am such a lover of bugs and insects that I'm also imagining that a water strider had just enough time to dart out of the way of Mamsey's paddle. Maybe there's a wee ant or two hitching a ride sight unseen down the waterway in Mamsey's canoe? Your artwork is so magical that I could spend hours just studying it and thinking about all the bugs that must be hidden somewhere.<br /><br />Thank you for giving us a preview. I know you'll let us know how we can get your book when it's released!<br /><br />Diane in North Carolina<br /><br />Jimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620266780624532300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-15689910574646293952013-02-07T19:50:09.075-08:002013-02-07T19:50:09.075-08:00Thank you so much Jeri, your visit was a most welc...Thank you so much Jeri, your visit was a most welcome one..
