My birthday gnome

[frogmarch]

My son sculpted this wonderful little gnome for me. Gnomes don’t like to be mailed, so I’ll see the little guy in person at Christmastime. I love him!

He’s even wearing little clothes!

1. That is so cute!

Is it carved from wood?

[frogmarch]

4. I think so too. :-)

He didn't say, but he often makes things in sculpting clay and bakes them, so I have an idea the gnome is clay. I am itching to see it for reals!

5. Thank you, Crewleader :-)

John Kerry and I both turned (eek) 71 today. Wow, I can't believe I'm still kickin'. I thought I was ancient when I turned 40, which strikes me as hilarious now.

3. i wonder what he'll be writing

when's your birthday?

[frogmarch]

6. Today!

I wonder too. My son likes to write space-themed stories, and his latest one is "Parasites of a Broken World." I could see the gnome for sure writing something like that.
