Description
Years ago, while at our cabin in the Adirondacks, a neighbor's child asked me to draw something for her. As we were deciding what to draw, some of our other neighbors came by cycling by on their tandem bike. The little girl said "draw them, their funny." So I did; and we laughed. That little girl, grown now, still has the original --this is a copy. A nice memory.

Hi Bill~~a very nicely drawn feel-good picture- upbeat and humorous!! Did the neighbors ever see this drawing of themselves? Fine work! F&L!!
Bill OConnor replied:
thanks Will -- actually I didn't show the neighbors; I thought they might take offense; being depicted with cheese-shaped heads (who wouldn't).
