One of Lillian's favorite activities is to go "treasure hunting" in my basement. Believe me -- she NEVER knows what she might find. One day, she was delighted to find some brand new (looking) water color paints.
It was a simple thing to find some brushes -- and there are always books (or paper)....to paint...
 |
| The paints had never been used -- but they were COMPLETELY DRIED OUT. No matter how hard Lilly tried, she couldn't coax any color out of this palette... |
 |
| I set up a work area, using the foot rest of the Lazyboy, but Lilly was frustrated... |
With nothing to lose -- I decided to try the microwave. I put a drop of water onto each color -- and then gave it ten seconds in the microwave oven...set on high...and -- THEN THE MAGIC HAPPENED...
 |
| Soon, she was a regular little mini-Picasso... |

| Lilly was delighted with her role in this project. And Warren is LOVING IT... |
