Description

Freighter Three is a watercolor based on a photograph by Mary Bedy -- Her Fagelgracht-2-081022. All the angles, shapes and lines are what drew me to this great photograph. The ships are so massive and the railings and stairways seem so fragile set against the huge bulk of the freighter. The perfect gift for a child's room. Thank you, Mary Bedy for the use of this photograph.!

A Story
Commander Harold looked out sadly at his three new recruits. Only one, the first one, seemed to have any clue how to dress. As always, new recruits were given an instruction manual which included how to dress properly. He sighed........It was getting more and more difficult to find personnel with any brain cells. He sighed......How could Command Control expect him to conquer the known world when his recruits couldn't even read? He sighed......

'YOU TWO' he yelled, 'You two, second and third in line – what are your names?!'
Promptly, they responded. 'Sir, yes Sir – I am Sylvia.' 'Sir, yes Sir – I am Ethel.'

Commander Harold was furious. 'Did you not read the manuals? Did you not realize your streamers are facing the wrong direction? Did you not understand that the streamers are to face front? Did you not understand the IMPORTANCE of details?'

Silently, Sylvia groaned. Duh, SIR, did you not realize these stupid blue hats are too big to fit below deck? Silently, Ethel giggled.......Duh, SIR, did you forget the known world is the bathtub and Command Control is Mommy?

'HHAARRROLD!' Mommy screamed, 'PLEASE, stop yelling and splashing water all over the bathroom. How many times do I have to tell you!!
