"Sundays at Tiffany's

James Patterson every so often leaves his murder and mayhem behind and writes a lovely novel. This was one of those novels. A young girl has an imaginary friend. Her only friend. Her parents are divorced and her rich famous mother has little time for her. Hence the need for an imaginary friend. This friend is a man in his mid 30's who walks her to school and takes her for ice cream. Unfortunately he has to leave her when she reaches nine and he tells her so on her birthday. He assures her that she won't remember him. That's the rule! Flash forward 20 years and she now is a career woman who has written a successful play about an imaginary friend! She never forgot. It's going to made into a movie. In a moment of depression she heads to one of her old haunts and looks up and there he is......he old friend. He doesn't know why he's there and she's not supposed to remember him. Totally enjoyed this one!

Oil painting class again tonight. We're busy making paintings for all our family! I'm trying stick figures next.
