IF: Lost

Pulling something from “the vault” ONCE again… Ah! This fits perfectly with Illustration Friday’s “Lost” theme this week! See, there are peanuts that are “lost” throughout this scene. Well, okay, if you want to get technical, they’re really “hidden”, but let’s just say they’re “lost” so we can get on with finding them, eh?

So, yes, I’ve been on a little break from the blog for a few days. Maybe a tad of burnout, but mostly it being a holiday weekend up here in Canada. Thanksgiving in early October still takes some getting used to. I’m always asked by Canadian friends if it’s true that American Thankgiving is bigger than Christmas. Not really, I say, but the holiday has become about food and sports. I know in my extended family when we’d observe Thanksgiving, we’d eat–and eat and eat–and then the rest of the day was spent gathered around the TV watching the T-A&M/UT football game (unless you were fortunate enough to have scored tickets to be there yourself). It also kicks off the countdown to Christmas, I’d say. And, of course, the day AFTER Thanksgiving is the equivalent to Boxing Day, both now mega shopping days. So there ya go.
