Hey Terre 
Hope all is going well for you. We're pretty much keeping sheltered inside this year, and I'm prepared for a winter of hobbies and good food. It's very quiet here...not many visitors with the residents this holiday, but then that's probably safer for us all. We're finally getting accustomed to the new normal of masks and distance. I can certainly appreciate all the memories of past holidays, when life was not so complicated and strife-filled. I'm reminded of Paul when he was confined in what could be compared to a small apartment, and his writing in Philippians 4 that he knew how to be abased and to abound, to be full and to be hungry, to have and to suffer need...and then he makes the more familiar statement of being able to do all things. Sometimes we forget what led up to his ability to be that flexible and open to receiving that kind of strength. He was in his senior years, and had been stretched, and smooshed, and pounded into soft, pliable clay. There's a certain amount of peace that comes when we yield to the Potter and resolve the conflict. Like the lady who had a raccoon loose in her house, we can finally give up the fight (and the broom!), lower our defenses and realize that we can trust Him with what is precious to us.
Merry Christmas everyone, and have a blessed, safe and healthy new year!

I noticed that Stezza was, or has been, very creative while I was out of the loop. He has Baby Yoda for download in his Wacky Model thread, as well as a light saber and helmet. Yosemite Sam is for download on page 55, a morphing broom and a Metal Bird, or CyberTurkey, on page 57, and it appears that he may be working on the Muppets Animal and/or drum set soon.
Guess who sits up on the corner of my book shelves...put there as a joke the day I moved in, and he's been there ever since...haha

I should mention that Santa generously has left me a new refurbished HP drive....this one has 32 gigs of ram, and is an i7 instead of the i5 I was using before. It's so much faster than the other I was using, it about snatches my face off when it boots...haha The graphics are adequate to do OpenGL 4 so Blender is working fine....so I'm playing this evening...and trying to get back in the ball game with rendering. I have Poser 11.2 partially set up, and will try putting some of that massive runtime on an external drive this time, since I was using it less last year. I'm almost done setting up DAZ Studio 4.14, and was testing the render time with the Catoon animation, and even with the fur, it did 25 frames while I cleared away the dishes today....so I'm delighted Now maybe I can play more with fluidos and animated flames, and other cool stuff....we'll see
