I added the second comment when I saw her second post show up! My wife is actully only 5' and one half, but she tells every one that she's 5' 1''. That 1/2 inch is a big deal to her! Yup my Ginny would do that! And not just for Ed! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Bonanza was known for some real tearjerkers, then again so wasn't UFO, just in a different way. I knew the idea I had would work but it's coming together far better than I expected! I must be overlooking something. I just hope my wife likes it because this one is for her! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Ed at the graveyard! TIme conundrums are such fun to play with! and there's Virginia... kissing Ben...naughty! I enjoyed the visit to the ranch house .. nice idea. The sketch book.. one quibble.. if it is fragile, they wouldn't want to copy it.. I don't think it would be that fragile anyway, its only 150yrs old.. its a bit of a tricky one that,,, I do have several books of that age and they are fine. ( a bit musty rather than fragile!) # I love the image of the sketch of Ed and the children -really lovely idea and so emotional and effective... a nice link between the past and the future. I can see the picture right now! And i like the ending... another sketchbook... what is in that I wonder.. You are going to keep us waiting aren't you! Meanie! > I need some air. WWW IP Logged

Yes there are some interesting drawings in the book, but you'll just have to wait, and so will I as I haven't gotten there yet. Right now Ginny is having a little tiff with an overprotective Adam who doesn't trust her! Thinks she's a gold digger! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

When you least expect it Re: FDK Distant Memories Reply #51 - Jul 10th, 2010 at 6:08pm Print Post I think it would be okay after that length of time.. either that or you are going to have a little trouble photocopying it.. as I said we have a lot of stuff older than that and most of it is fine. Its too good an idea to not use the sketch book.. I like it!.. I have an auotgraph album thats really old - about 1820 ish and thats fine as well I am so wanting to draw Ed walking away.. but I couldn't manage to do the kids as well. > I need some air.

I picture his son Robert as looking very similar to Johnny except a tad younger and Charlene is a spitting image of mom. Long blonde hair. Remember they are walking away you don't have to do their faces! Wait till you see what I do with one of the journal entries! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

I haven't done any 'dressed' men! and I don't hink Ginny would have drawn Ed in the buff..well, she might have, but that wouldn't be when he was holding his kids hands!! Sniggering here!

Yeah I could see her doing him, in a drawing that is, "au natural" but certainly not in front of the children! Rock on Louise! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

When you least expect it Re: FDK Distant Memories Reply #57 - Jul 11th, 2010 at 2:22pm Print Post Straker began to pace to room thinking; The same craft yet in two different points in time just like the same craft in two different universes. “Can we use the systems to open a temporal portal between the two craft?” Great Stuff! Isn't time travel convenient! Love the way you have the craft in two times at once... my brain hurts now ( it always does when I read complex stories!) Very clever Matt! I need some air.
