Paul:

Sometimes I wonder if I made the right move from Arkansas.  I was there last
October for a visit and it is as nice as ever.  I guess I just needed family
first so here I am in the cold.

It sounds like your relief carving will be great of the eagles.  I took a
class from John Engler at Silver Dollar City before I moved back here and
his carvings and patterns are beautiful.

  I am working on a relief carving of two eagles (John Engler drawing) on an
oval blank. Just the bust of each with one behind the other. Clouds,
mountains, fields and a few evergreens in the background. Right now I have
all complete except burning in the feathers and am half way done with that.

  Marilyn, shoulda stayed south. Michigan sounds great...for
Christmas...then winter should be gone. The Ozarks are having, so far, a
marvelous winter. We have had only a couple of snows (one real one of 4")
and no ice. A couple of times the temps have been down in single digits and
once below zero. But by-and-large it has been nights in the 20's and days in
the 40's and even up into the 60's and 70's. More like Louisiana where I was
raised.
