  1. Love those Rockwells. It's great you were able to visit. I would call her Maisie, nickname for Margaret. Funny how the name popped out when I saw the pic.

    1. Maisie! And short for Margaret. I love it, Linda! Thank you so much.

  2. I read Linda's entry, and now she has to be Maisie! I love that name.

    At the Rockwell museum, did you happen to see the collection of poems written in response to his paintings? If not, email me your address and I'll send you one. It's right up your alley, I think. Of course you're probably busy writing your own!

  3. Oh, Jeannine, send me one! I think this gal deserves a whole BOOK. Thanks for stopping by -- off to email. xo

  4. So glad you like Maisie, & how fun to write poems to go with the paintings. It would be a good class project for this presidential/election year perhaps.
