FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION
DC/Vertigo Comics publishes a most excellent comic book series called FABLES.
Premise: Take every character from every fairy tale, mythological story, or folktale you've ever heard. Those characters live secret lives in our world, hidden in a magical neighborhood in New York. Now, tell stories. For instance, in the first story of the series, Snow White's sister (Rose Red) is murdered. Snow and Bigby Wolf (the human form of the Big Bad Wolf who functions as the sheriff of 'Fabletown') have to solve the mystery. The second story is a take-off on 'Animal Farm'. And it continues to get better and better.
Back when Fables #31 was released, we had just found out we were pregnant with Hella.
We were overwhelmed. Having the two boys seemed like so much already. We were dealing with the neverending money problems. We were always tired.
In the issue, Snow White and Bigby Wolf had just had several babies (a litter, actually).
The cover of the issue showed their feelings about their lives, and to us seemed to also sum up our lives.
The babies swirling around above their heads...
Desperately holding onto each other...
Autumn leaves...
It was all so perfect...
...
I was just remembering that time in our lives and how hard it seemed...
But, of course, it all worked out great...
Kinda like right now in our lives...

I love you guys.
And love the Speed Squad.
If you want to get technical though, you are Speed Squad Seven with the appearance of your trusty sidekick Robyne.
It is the Mother Speed that hold you together. She is the mortar of this family.
Missing you.
feeling honored to be a contact, miss you guys greatly.
I've said it before and I'll say it again,..... one of these days.
Hope you all had an awesome Earth Day!
I like it! This means even more posting, right?
