I never knew you liked my paintings so much :)
It's interesting you chose "Brown-Eyed Girl". I must agree though that brown eyes are fabulous!
K-Mick,
I couldn't resist taking this updated version of the Proust Questionnaire.
I can't believe that inside is not the question of ones favorite bird!
My reply is: I like how a Blue Jay looks but I can't stand how it sounds...it is similar to the women I date.
Don't you love bird humor?
