Just a short note today, on Stick Chicken and Stick Gator. If one cannot draw worth a hoot, sometimes a stick effigy will get the point across.
I painted this when a great tumult occurred at the chicken plant I was working for and had the kaka hit the proverbial fan. Bells tolled and heads rolled! Soon it became clear I would be happier anywhere but there.
I drew this little guy as my mascot here where I currently work. I have him taped on my go-everywhere respond immediately bucket. Why a gator? This place has sneaky gators hiding all around and they love nothing better than to bite your butt just when you think things are going a little-bitty better than yesterday.
Speaking of work, it’s about time to shove off and start my Cabin-acious weekend! The closer I get to the cabin, the more relaxed and free I feel. Still there is a small measure of worry that everything is okay until I get this marvellous
view. Home! Weeds and all!
The gator will forever be our mascot! And I absolutely feel a sense of relief just by looking at photos of your cabin retreat. Most folks like myself spend hundreds of dollars to rent a cabin for a weekend “getaway” and you have labored enough to build your own! It makes me feel foolish when I look for cabin rentals online at places like the smoky mountains, when I know they aren’t the real deal.

I feel like I’ve ‘gotten away’ every time I rumble up that gravel driveway. To hear a whippoorwill at night is a marvellous thing.
