This year I helped  BushyCat set up her table at the Dealer's Den and she insisted I let her draw something in my sketchbook. So here we have one more scene from real life! I spend most of my time at home playing with my daughter in one way or another and from time to time she wants to play Tea Party with her Daddy. My folks bought her a teaparty set a couple years ago and while she was too young to appreciate it then, now she gets into it, pouring tea, or 'fake' OJ or milk, into our cups and reminding me to blow on it because its hot, and we sip, and so forth. She sometimes even ahs some of her stuffed animals sitting in play chairs with us at the little table and we both help them have some tea too.

And what is really cute is that when my little girl saw these sketches she could point at each depiction and say, 'Daddy', 'Mommy', and 'Angie' and she was right.

I love you, my little Angie. One day you'll get to go with Daddy and be a big Ratty or whatever you'd like to be.
