Hello Jasper

I have a new cousin named Jasper. Actually, he is my 3rd cousin, and he is the only person in my whole family that I am older than. His parents, Jim and Janet, are both potters and he is their best creation, an amazing sculpture that changes and grows constantly. Mama and I had the chance to visit with all of them on the last Friday in July.

Janet shared that Jim's nickname is Goofy Jim. I don't know if he is goofy, but he sure is a lot of fun. He danced with me to the music I made on the organ at Grand Auntie Rita's home.

Jim was watching me line up the toys and told my Mama about an artist named Andy Goldsworthy who sculpts things in nature in a very exact way. You can check out clips from his film Rivers and Tides on YouTube. I'm looking forward to looking at the books we ordered from the library and watching the movie about him too. Maybe you'll see my art posted here soon.

Jim, Janet and Jasper; I had fun meeting all of you. I look forward to a visit again sometime in the future, possibly on the west coast.
