Happy Anniversary!!!

While I was in Iowa, we celebrated my grandparent's 65th Anniversary. The whole gang was in town and much family merriment was had, including three slideshows of my mom and her brother and sister's childhoods. This pic is of my mom on her third birthday. I think she was pretty darned cute.

Along the lines of family fun, I discovered when I was home that my Aunt, Uncle, their three kids and one grandchild will be coming to California the first week of August for more family fun and tourist activities. So here's a pic of the one that gets to stay with me (of course in a hat I knit her!).

Wicked

Sunday in Chicago

Sunday was another great day in the Windy City with my parents, here we are in the lobby of the Ford Theatre:


We were there to wicked, which was pretty great, but I don't think it lived up to all the hype I'd heard (of course part of that could have been that I was doped up on half of one of my dad's codine because I forgot to bring any migraine pills... you can see why even half of something meant for my father might have a greater effect on me...)
