Dear Sisters,
Pencil drawing with contented, furry companions nearby and a good mystery series sound like the stuff of happy days. They make me look forward to a snowy winter.
Thanks for sharing!
Cynthia

Sounds like a good time to practice pencil drawing with audible reading in the background. I am off to do just that.
