The $20 Portrait

It was my fathers birthday in September and I had no idea what to give him as a present.

So when I was strolling around Central Park, I found the solution.

A portrait! It seemed a little vain, but parents always want a picture of their children, I reasoned.

So after some bargaining I sat down and the gentleman started sketching away and before I knew it,

a small crowd of tourists had gathered, commenting loudly in German (which I speak).

Oh, the torture!

My dad was happy to receive the portrait and even framed it to hang it in his office.

Success!

Inspired by Little Augury's blog postings today, I have to say that my one of my favorite postings of 2010 was Reggie Darling's (click here for more on Pompey)on his pug Pompey. I love dogs, so please forgive me if I sound like a lunatic. Pompey is an adventurous and cheeky fellow, ever enterprising with a big personality. Every time I read about Pompey, I swoon. Maybe one day I get to meet him?
I posted some pictures from Reggie Darling on Pompey being a little escape artist and it is so sweet.

Thank you, Little Augury!

I am so flattered that my favorite blogger Little Augury decided to give me a big shout-out on her phenomenal blog. What a wonderful surprise! I read her blog every day, and this is really quite something.

LA, you are a true lady!

And here is her posting, if you click on the pictures, you will be sent to her blog.
