Don't faint, it's still me.

Posted on 16:27 by Unknown

Yeah, I know, I'm fussing with the blog again. Can't help it. A new grand-baby and I'm in the mood for a change.

The basic design always stays the same, I like it well enough. But I like to tinker with the colors and the header at the change of seasons.

I love this vintage Mario Cooper illustration and here's my chance to share it with you.
