Horse and Dragon Afternoon

Sitting here watching Disney's Secretariat with daughter Amy and husband. They went to the movie theatre this afternoon and I spent time in the Bubble. I colored this a few days ago and made the card this afternoon. I went with the colors of Ireland's flag: orange, green, and white.

New Alum: When I get married I want to have 9 babies. Me: You want 9 children? Alum: Yes. All born in the same year. Me: So you are saying you want to father a litter. Alum: Litter?

Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?
