It sounds like your niece will grow up a very balanced kid if she can have a bit of input from every part of your family.

"Taylor" caught a trout for her trophy, and I don't think trout are in any danger of extinction. We had a conversation a while ago about eating perch instead of things that come from the ocean, and she gave me refrigerator art that says "Save the spotted turtle -- don't litter!", so I think she's got the right ideas about the environment. Is it any wonder I love this girl?<br /><br />Sharon, one of these days I'm really going to have to get cable. It's probably why "Taylor" knows more on the subject than I do :)<br /><br />Love the comments.

My heart is all warm inside :) I hadn't heard of Anne Lamott before, but a visit to Amazon.com inspires me to try looking her up at the library. I love our chats too, and am glad the summer sun is bringing you back to the living. Hugs and cookies!<br /><br />I like Amalia K's art.

And...Well, Linda...you are such a brilliant writer! And your posts are so much like sitting down over a cup of tea to have a heart-to-heart with a dear friend. Such a gift to your readers and to me! You posts clearly tell me that LIFE is going on there, and how you are reacting and growing with it. Do you know the work of Anne Lamott? Your writing style reminds me so much of hers, and I hugely enjoy both of you (albeit with my short blog-reading attention span...)<br /><br />Your niece is very lucky to have someone like you in her life, and I am sure she will recognize that when she's a little older...<br /><br />Thanks so much for your visits to my own (recently few) blog posts, and our lovely chats about art and life. The summer sun has brought my determination and creativity back a bit 'from the dead' and I'm trying to be philosophical and intuitive about 'the mirror of the physical world.' What can I learn from this is such a helpful--but annoying--question! :-)<br /><br />Sending a big hug...oh, and I had a huge chocolate chip cookie, Tollhouse-style the other day...it was bliss! I try to find a balance between Comfort and Healthy these days. My sanity is foremost. :-)<br /><br />Susan<br />P.S.
