If's Ahead


Sure Richy was tall for his age and still wore his sneakers
on the wrong feet, but Zack and Tyrone
would put his over active pituitary gland to work
to get the trio Ahead.
Nobody dare step to these nerd boyz. These boys
had a wonderful relationship and even put a tall roof
on their tree just for Richy. Ain't frienship grand?

  7. Yes! Yes! What a grand friendship. I think Ricky later became the center for the Toronto Raptors or was it The San Antonio Spurs? Oh oh oh that's right! He was the actor who played Jaws.

    What a grand illustration Vee and most of all the idea of those boys putting up a tall roof on the tree house. That melts my heart. Oh what we won't do for someone we love - almost nothing really - well, except stepping on poop, but even that I may do it if it made you happy. EEEk!

  17. Your characters always have such spunk and presence... they must get it from their "creator". ;)

  41. Hi Vanessa! Just noticed you won one of Tara's soaps and I realized I hadn't been by to say hi for a long time. We still love our Ruby books - especially the makeup episode with Ro. Hope all is well! Looks like you have been up to some great doodly goodness lately! xo, Aimee
