Graham

for once, an almost decent picture of him.

The birthday Boy with Grandpa

If you only could have seen the delight on both their faces as Grandpa
held out his arms to Nathaniel and Nathaniel came running over.

Too much partying!

Sophia couldn't hold out any longer!

lighting the marshmallows

Nathaniel turned three!  The family has a tradition of burning

marshmallows instead of candles.  Neil is Keith's son, who's just back
from Iraq and leaving again shortly for more training in Texas.  The
bird is Arthur.  He likes parties.

Tahquamenon

Keith took this of me at Tahquamenon--where we met six years ago--we
revisted many of the places important to us when we first met. A sort
of "honeymoon" remembrance trip.

Portrait at Greenfield Village

Taken in Cotswold Cottage (from England) by someone who used to be a
photographer with my little pocket camera.

Recital

This is Graham's Class Recital, not the solo one, which is next week.

Here he is playing a solo and a duet with his good friend Jay.

He and they did an EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!

The pix aren't that great because G didn't want me to take pix but I
smuggled in a small camera in my "purse" (I never normally carry a
purse) and took them with no flash in rather dim light.

He never lets me take pix any more and I have sort of given up trying
most of the time. Graduation tonight--weird that they have it before
the end of school. He's got all As and Bs axcept 1 U in math! :-(

Keith studying my backyard journal

I can't really call it a nature journal, I suppose, since mostly I am
drawing PLANTED (alien, domestic) plants.

Self-portrait with haircut.

Self-portrait with haircut. I cut my hair today. I cut off more than
a foot which I will probably send to locks of love. However, I am
unemployed and they no longer provide mailing labels, so I may not.

One of these brais is from today and the other was cut when I was 14 years old.

Happy Birthday, Dear Mommy, Happy Birthday to You!

The back of the photo reads June 1, 1980 and JC in Joe's neat script.
Also, Sara, in a large childish scrawl with a different color ink.
Happy Birthday, Mom!
