Lizard in Living Color

This is kind of a repeat of an earlier post, except that I took time to color it.  There was a young man that asked me to draw a lizard for him.  I think that he has some kind of science display about lizards that he was working on.  I remembered that I had this drawing of an iguana and told him that I would print it out for him.  That seem to make him happy enough, but I did decide to put on the splash of color on it just so that his report would have that extra "zing" to it. (I like "zing."  Don't you?) There is a bit of an interesting story as to why I drew this lizard in the first place.  Go here to read the rest of the story.

In other news:  Our middle daughter, Andrea, became engaged last Sunday evening.  My now future son-in-law, Evan, surprised her as she arrived back from a mission trip to Haiti.  He was kind enough to have a talented friend put together a video of the event.  It's been getting a lot of attention on Facebook and the ladies especially have been giving reports about tearing up watching the thing.  I'm not telling you how many times I've teared up watching the thing—a dad likes seeing the smile of love on his daughter's face.

Iguana

My middle daughter is spending most of the summer in Aruba working with a church on that island. She told me that there are iguanas living on the island that the natives will occasionally turn into soup. One of the ladies in the church has offered her some iguana soup. Though my daughter has eaten a number of strange things on this trip, so far, she has not partaken of lizard soup.

There is one young man that is an aspiring artist that she has met. I sent her a letter and included this drawing of an iguana for his viewing pleasure. The caption is self explanatory. I am looking forward to hearing the young man's response, but during our few phone calls my daughter hasn't mentioned it yet. I am taking a chance posting this on my blog, because I wanted to surprise her. But, I figure that enough time has elapsed to where it should be safe to post it -- then again, maybe the Arubain mail moves as quickly as the U.S. government's.
