Do Post Toasties still exist? I know I could just google it, but it's more fun to just wonder. My grandma always had Post Toasties. We were more of a Cheerios and Rice Crispies family, I think. Anyway, I have been MIA (which reminds me that Harry, the automated library voice, pronounces the name "Mia" as "missing in action." He also calls me "Anne the one thousandth Peterson" due to my middle initial being the equivalent of the roman numeral for "1000") again. I have been working on knitting and have been very frustrated. Yes, it's great that the Internet is full of knitting videos, but I seem to knit differently than most of the knitters out there and the videos don't seem to work for me. They not only knit differently, but they knit too fast. If you're trying to instruct people, slow down. Yes, I know that once you have a stitch down it is all oh so easy, but when someone is trying to learn, it is all awkward and you need to click your needles in slow motion. And speaking of knitting, one of the groups I subscribe to on Facebook is giving away a knitted sweater and it is the sweater that I want to knit. Now it's not a color I would chose (white), but I entered the contest anyway. I just had to choose a number between 1 and 2000. The number will be randomly generated and the closest guesser wins. As of earlier today, there were only about 95 entrants, so keep your fingers crossed. I chose the number 502 which is all about my birthday.
So, the picture above is the herd and crash that is currently on my dresser. I sometimes like to arrange drawings and paintings just to try to inspire myself to do more. Unfortunately this week has been a bad art week due to sleep deprivation (the people upstairs have been noisy all week) and laziness. I hope to work on something tomorrow. Until then, we can just look at old stuff...
Oh, just a note, you'll have to click on the picture to see it in a larger size. And also the two cat pictures are done by my nephews. The one above and center, in black in blue was painted by Zach and the other one (the one that also includes me in my red car (and judging by the lines behind it, I appear to be speeding) with my cats watching out the window all forlorn and meowing) was drawn by Ben.

a fine photo showing much fine art work by Artist Anne and her pupil : ) and some of their muses---the cats, the red car and of course the rhinos.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope the knitting and the sleeping are both going better.
And so Post Toasties---that is a "blast from the past" for sure. We had Post Toasties in our house. If I recall correctly, it was a rather dull cereal with a clever name! Thanks for reminding me of Post Toasties. And as your post (and Sissy's) sent me to the past---I must ask you do you remember the Seven-Up Candy Bar?
