However, I came very close to fulfilling that phophesy recently after my two youngest grandchildren came home from a day care field trip with a couple of clay artifacts they had made.
They had visited a place here in Falls Church called The Clay Cafe, where youngsters can paint clay figurines and artifacts and then have them "baked" to a gloss that gives them a real professional pottery look.
I was so impressed that Linda and I took them back to that shop.....and asked them to paint something for us. Here's the coffee cup that my 7 year old made for us.
We were VERY impressed!
I had as much fun as the kids did! So, I went back to the Clay Cafe....this time WITHOUT the grandkids....and sat down with the other 6 and 7 year olds and painted a couple of cups for MYSELF, so I could be reminded of my two FAVORITE radio stations with each cup of my morning coffee every day!
When I showed them to Linda, she just rolled her eyes......obviously in awe of my brilliant artistry!!
