Color Contest

Check this out: Isabel and I entered the Whole Earth Company coloring contest.  We labored for half an afternoon with our crayons and gold pens to create a masterpiece. 

I delivered our entry to the Post Oak blvd store this past Saturday.   Considering our 65 years of combined coloring experience and the fact that - according to the young enthusiastic store attendant I talked to - we were one of very few entries in the 19+ category, we have a serious, serious chance of winning 1st place.

What would we do with our $25 gift certificate?  Buy one mood ring each?  Squander the whole thing on a flappy hippie-looking winter hat for Isabel?  Use the gift certificate toward reducing the price of some ultra-cool outdoor gear we could pretend we'd need in the city?  Be sensible and buy socks? 

How about that bright yellow scarf that spells "DO NOT CROSS CRIME SCENE" in black letters?  I like that scarf.  So does Isabel.  Perhaps we could co-own it.  send it back and forth between Houston and San Antonio.  She would wear it one week, I would wear it the other. 

On the long odds that we should not actually win the contest, I am posting our handiwork on this blog.  Please admire.  Ooohs, aaahs and warm admirative comments welcome.  We worked hard on this.

Alas! I do not think we won...I will drive by the store tomorrow and chek the results. I feel the anxiety of the artist...

The winning is the connectedness and it is evident that you and Isabel had a beautiful moment expresses and sharing what you love to do. I admire your mother/daughter union and artistic exploration. You are a winner in my book! Love, Diosa
