September 15, 2007 Day 149
Today is Laura's last full day here, and I'm already feeling that I will miss her. As I get older, I see more and more the benefits of families staying in the same area instead of spreading out across the country like mine did. It's the American way to leave home for brighter opportunities elsewhere, and there are many benefits to that way of life, but we give up a lot for it.
In today's drawing, I used the blunt ends of my new pens as well as the fine points, and then filled in spaces with the brush pens for interest and emphasis.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead in case we travel and I'm not able to post.)
