I hope and I pray that maybe someday

I started  on the repair of Bernard today. 

I left him outside along side Ernest, and both of them got damp, and wet, and I never dried them properly after I put them back in Cosmo. 

Out with the fine sandpaper, and a quick  buff of his head.   Then some Linseed  oil,.  Them more sanding,   I've worked on his head, and I'm delighted how it's come up.   I've done his back and shoulders.   Did a little work on his buttocks.  

He's going to be beautiful
