Re: Plant by numbers

Hello.
    Sure does sound familiar. Was there not paint by numbers back in the
70's? Best I can recall the fad did not replace any of the "Masters".
    You read about the plant by numbers in the SF Chronicle... someone sold
a
bit of text there. Appears someone did a pretty decent job of promoting in
the description you quote below. You just spent some time writing about the
subject and informed me of something I never heard of....
    Think I understand the emotional response in your words. It is hard to
hold a pen when you are wringing your hands.....
