Agate Chair, Sketch 093
Loose sketch; wobbly chair
Agate chair
The carvings at the end of the chair arms are lions and I have the blurry photo to prove it.
Carved agate lions

Row of Chairs, Sketch 092
Look like patio chairs
Probably from a Texas courthouse
Sketch 092: Row of Chairs. I don’t remember seeing a label with any information next to these chairs, but they certainly look as if they came out of a Texas courthouse. These chairs are in Blanco, Texas.

No Reason To Be Greedy
Sally decorated her caves with statues and vases that had fallen to the ocean floor from shipwrecks over the centuries. She loved her figurehead collection.
But ships didn’t have figureheads anymore and there were hardly any shipwrecks these days. To get something new, she had to shop for herself. Drifting up to the Mediterranean, she saw many interesting statues along the coast.
I’ll take just one this trip, she thought. No reason to be greedy. Sally the giant octopus surfaced and, extending two arms, delicately removed the statue from the top of the monument.
She didn’t even hear the screams.
It's a long story ...
