...long distance birthing celebration...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister-in-law Rachel!!!  She turns the big 1-5 today.  Rachel...I don't even know if you read this, but Joan can tell you...we will be sending a present to the house in Detroit, and we are attempting to call or email today.  Just know that Jeremy and I are thinking of you, and hoping you have a super-fun birthday!  We love you lots.

...in other news...

How fitting that today, exactly one year from my father passing away, that I would get a call from the Toyota dealership saying I could pick up my Prius this Saturday.  It is fitting due to the fact that I am able to get it through money inherited from my Grandparents through my Dad, plus my Grandfather and my Dad both had a love of cars, and fine machinery.  So...in honor of them, I will be dubbing my new car...Dr. Wilson (Grandpa was an actual Dr. and my Dad was a PhD.)  Look for me cruisin' the streets of K.C. (in an environmentally responsible way) starting Saturday!  The Dr. is in, be-atch!

...kinda technical...

So I figured out how to show you all some photos I took of my recent artwork with my sister's digital camera!  This is a big technical step for me.  Anyway...hope you like it!

...been a long time since I rock and rolled...
 
These are busy times my friends. 
Christine and Evan's wedding came and went.  We had a really great weekend of hanging out with them, and their families and friends.  Being a bridesmaid was no sweat, and Jer and Mary played beautiful music during the ceremony.  Now Christine and Evan are away camping for the honeymoon, and I miss them!  We usually see them at least once a week...ah well...they deserve a nice vacation.  Congratulations you two!
 
I hung up some art I've been working on the last couple of months at Utrecht yesterday.  It gets to be up for a month!  I know it's not a crazy gallery show or anything, but I'm still excited about people being able to see it.  I have not shown anything since I was in college...
 
All of our precious yellow-pear cherry tomatoes have been eaten by some mysterious beastie.  That's our fault for not putting up fencing I suppose, but our pal Matt says it can happen even with some sort of barrier.  At least they have left the herbs, tomatillos, and gypsy peppers alone!
