Happy 4th of July America!
Today the people of the United States of America celebrate their Independence Day. The day they became their own country. Freedom is important. The Foundation so many things grow on.
Lisa, in her Time Out For Art (Series, each Thursday) of Playmart – Zeebra Designs illustrates well the importance of the “foundation of things” when it comes to a work of art. The sketch, the first drawing of a piece of art, is the foundation from which the beauty of the finished product will emerge. And equally important is the loving and nurturing (of her talent with art) that she shares and encourages with others. A Foundation of Love! Just excellent!
Thank you,
~ Penny

Your 4th sounds great, Lauren! Yes we all had a very fun time, of course ending with fireworks! Thank you, and you enjoy your Sunday, xx
That flag is truly beautiful! xx

Hope you had a good day of celebrations…
We did Bulldog, thank you for your good wishes! xx
happy fourth, amiga! your flag is happy, alegre, well drawn and captures the essence of freedom! it reminds me of a horse’s mane blowing in the wind!
Hello z! Thanks bunches. I loved your post yesterday, a lot! I’m glad you noticed the angle of the flag in my drawing. I wanted an upsweep representing the motion of the flag to add the wind blowing factor! I hope your 4th was an excellent one for you also!
the fourth was a very nice mellow day, part spent with a small group of friends.
thank you so much for your kind words, as always, and yes, the memory of that flag still burns – always a good sign of a good design!
Your day sounds delightful! You’re welcome and thanks in return, my friend!
Happy 4th July:)

Hi Robyn, thank you! I hope your 4th was the best and that it was spent with family members having fun. Finally cooled down here so watching the fireworks last night with the family ended the day of activities perfectly! xoxo

Hi Stefan! Thank you. What a couple of hectic busy days around here, my dear friend. The children loved the fireworks though, so it was all good!!!
Like the sketch itself, your poem is delightful 🙂
Have a very nice rest of day and a wicked evening 😉
Andro xxe that you are enjoying
your 4th of july celebrations Penny 🙂
Have lots of chocolate for me 😉 lol
Andro xxx
No idea what happened on that one, as
I didn’t copy or paste anything, hmm how
odd 😦
My comment was supposed to read as ‘I hope
that you are enjoying your 4th of july celebrations
Penny 🙂 Have lots of chocolate for me lol
Andro xxx
I figured that out Andro. No worries! 🙂 I had some chocolate for you too! 🙂 xo
Thank you Andro, very much. The 4th was fun (I wouldn’t say wicked, but tons of fun)! Yes chocolate was in there too! 🙂
Anything with wicked in is lots of fun too, well seeing as I am probably the only one in the UK that says that word these days 🙂 I used to say far out too, I think it is possibly Back to the Future syndrome on the latter 🙂
I am pleased that your 4th of july
was a nice day and evening Penny 🙂
Andro xxx
I agree with you Andro! 🙂 Not to worry re: word usage, everything from yesterday seems to recycle right back through again. So I’m sure you’re just ahead of the game! Have a wonderful evening my friend!!!! 🙂 xo
It is almost midnight here so I am late to call into my Space and I won’t be on here long either as I am going to be watching Van Helsing later 🙂 Well I always like a few sharpened fangs to kick-start the weekend 🙂 Actually I might watch Dracula too 🙂

Hi Andron. You know, I’m not a fan of the dark side at all and yet, the dreams I have had (vividly real ones) through most of my adult life, I could probably write a book about. Actually I’ve written one piece but not published it, as it is so not “me” lol! 🙂 Enjoy your night and your space, I find I enjoy you, very much, my dear friend! 🙂 xo
My Space is a bit of a mix these days but my previous one was horror through and through indeed, I have many darker scripts than what I add here but I understand that not everyone enjoys it, and I have had emails sent to me in the past asking me not to add anything too distressing, I never realised that I had as these scripts are all mild, but some of my alternatives are graphic in detail and it is those that I would never add here, I mean they are just horror based, nothing too horrible within the lines but just a little too gory is what I am trying to say 🙂
I am pleased that you like calling into my realm, it’s a long time since I have used that word, my last WordPress home page was ‘Welcome to My Gothic Realm’ and I had lots of photographs and pictures, all of which that I really liked but hey that was then…
This Space that I have now isn’t a patch on my last one but it’s better than nothing I guess 🙂
Wow an epic reply, sorry about that one 😦
Have fun Penny, I value
your friendship my sweet friend 🙂
Andro xxx
Thank you Andro, I feel most honored to have received an epic repy, no apologies needed! I value your friendship also! Very much! 🙂 xo
I have just added my script and now I am leaving for the evening, do have a really exciting time bothe tonight and over the weekend Penny 🙂 🙂
Andro xxx
I have been busy but all good stuff Andro, just playing catch up here with things! I hope your weekend is being especially nice for you! 🙂 xx
I was so busy rattling on about myself that I completely forgot to mention about your script, I think that it is nice to be able to write in all genres but then not everything that we write is for our Spaces so that is okay I think 🙂
Have a wonderful evening 🙂 🙂
Andro xxx
Hi Andro. been offline a bit so playing catch up here. I hope you are sleeping like a baby right now (a happy contented one)! Yes I agree with you about “our space”! 🙂 xx
Happy 4th, Penny!!
