It's my turn to host the Three Muses Challenge this week and I have chosen Long Ago and Far Away.
Thinking of LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY I was reminded of Mabel's childhood. Her father Eustace, a very 'colourful' character went to great lengths to merge into the crowd for several hours of drinking and gambling, but Mabel's mother Gertie, a very determined lady, would grab that old shotgun, and with Daisy, Doris and Mabel in tow would search out the old rascal and show him the way home. Ah such fond memories of Sunday afternoon family entertainment.
Credit to Tammara at Pixel Music and Nicole Young for the elements used, and of course, Mabel is part of the family.
Thanks for looking.

I can barely type this comment because I can't stop chuckling! Ann, your recent holiday has brought you back to us, more outrageous than ever, more entertaining, more wickedly funny. No wonder Mabel grew up to be an independent woman.
Fantastic.
Love reading the story Ann !

Fun story, loved it, Ann, great piece, hope you had a fantastic holiday!
Fresh from your vaction and spunky it seems - what a delightful, humorous and brilliant collage Ann- wonderful fun !
Your art is always so original! I love it!
Great family resemblance there for sure! And did Eustace get home with his scruples intact?
What a fantastic collage - and a great story, which is funny and tragic at the same time (depending on the point of view)! You have illustrated this story in a fabulous way!
fantastic collage Ann! love the story!
Fantastic piece, Taluula!
Wow, what a story to go along with the wonderful art, Ann! It took me a second or two to realize that this WAS a story and not someone from history that I had never heard of. You are wildly creative!!!
Love this!
Great colors too!
