Hollow


Wofie always had that "Hollow" feeling deep inside. That was until Red came over
with a treat just for him and him alone! Red felt that even Wofie boy deserved
to be celebrated. Maybe this would even put him on a new road to doing
good! hee hee hee!
Just stuck my head in to say hello and to thank YOU BEAUTIFUL SOULS
for all your encouraging words. I'm still working and will be back soon
with more wonderful stuff to show and share. YOU FOLKS ROCK!!!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Grits and shrimp Yall!

What a delightful style! I remember your "drifting" picture, but it was fun scrolling through the rest of the pictures of the page. They are all so lighthearted, bright, quirky pictures.
