I love the idea of oyster stuffing, we ...Hi Melissa<br />I love the idea of oyster stuffing, we don't have that here but it sounds wonderful. <br /><br />Your sister sounds like someone I would love as she reminded me of my own sibling Brother. We had a fight once as small boys and he chased me with a metal 'tonka' truck half his own body size and as I ran down the stairs to get away taking three stairs at a time he hurled the truck down after me. It crashed down the stairs after me bouncing and spinning faster than I could run, (like something out raiders of the lost ark when Harrison Ford was trying to out run that huge boulder?) it ricoched off a step just behind me and hit the wall by my arm and gauged out a huge clump of plaster as truck, boy and plaster all hit the bottom of the staircase at the same time in a plume of white dust! I have never forgotten that day, If that truck had hit me I'm not sure I would be here in one piece to laugh about it with my Brother now. <br /><br />Its great your Sister is so close to you now. I had visions of 'the shining' when you described her knife scraping.<br /><br />Hope you have a great New year<br />Hugs<br />Helen xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-79971393338504678002009-12-28T09:04:15.496-05:002009-12-28T09:04:15.496-05:00Now THAT's holiday story worth sharing! There...Now THAT's holiday story worth sharing! There is little more life affirming than the love of family. How touching that your sister accepts you for the totality of who you are. Cute scarf, too! <br /><br />Please, let's keep the Marzipan quiet:) It's one of Sunny's special delights. She grew up on the delicious German confection at home in Bavaria. To this day it's one of her favorite things when we visit family back home in Deutchland. Thank you for sharing your inspiring Christmas gathering with family.

I love her so much, and always have! I love her and my niece, more than anyone else in my family! As kids, we fought with each other like most siblings do, but when push came to shove, I could always count on my older sister to stand up for me. She has no idea how much that endeared her to me!<br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-31177583377447934062009-12-27T23:24:24.265-05:002009-12-27T23:24:24.265-05:00@ Caroline

It was certainly based on crumbs cat and was unlike any animation before and for a long time after. I adopted Fritz's dancing style since it only involved the movement of fingers!<br /><br />Sounds like a nice family christmas but "you" could certainly liven it up a bit next year.<br /><br />Caroline XXCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-42399780710398140152009-12-27T12:51:37.278-05:002009-12-27T12:51:37.278-05:00@ Lucy

He pays great attention to detail, and gives his cartoons a 3 dimensional quality, like the old cartoon artist of the 30's & 40's did, before TV cheapened the art form with flat dull 2 dimensional stuff.<br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-52631528564432324112009-12-27T04:42:45.241-05:002009-12-27T04:42:45.241-05:00Melissa, get a tripod, put your on it using the 10...Melissa, get a tripod, put your on it using the 10-second self-timer setting, and take a few full-length pictures of yourself against a selection of nice backgrounds in or out of your home. A real fashion shoot, so that we can see your outfits properly, in natural light too.<br /><br />Maybe next Christmas you can be (like Sophie may be) fully 'out' and able to enjoy the whole thing in Melissa mode. Work for it.<br /><br />I recall Robert Crumb. Would I be right in thinking he did the artwork in the naughty cartoon film 'Fritz the Cat' back in the 1970s? (I could look this up instantly on Wikipedia, and show off my 'knowledge' but I don't cheat, and I may of course be wrong!)<br /><br />Happy New Year.<br /><br />LucyLucy Melfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049627653901928427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-62468210353227278742009-12-27T02:54:50.485-05:002009-12-27T02:54:50.485-05:00Meatless loaf?
