A BRIEF HIATUS...

is what I took...I didn't plan it, but somehow 6 weeks have gone by since my last post!

Those 6 weeks included:

1.  A birthday celebration (mine)


with my best boyfriend...



and dear long-time friends.

2.  An opening of a photography show by DD Maggie in Los Angeles...



Maggie and Kelly preparing for the opening reception...


(can you tell I'm a proud mother?)

3.  A trip to the Mid West to see family...


Daughter Linda and granddaughter in Salt Lake City...


 Picnic in the mountains to celebrate DD's significant birthday (Dave and
Janet relaxing before dinner)


Picnic table set up in a mosquito-proof tent as we were next to the river...



and the birthday girl, herself!

Then it was on to Pella, Iowa to catch up with son Doug and his family...




celebrate a birthday and high school graduation


(look at those handsome Houtz men!)

and enjoy the green green landscape before returning to ever-browner California...



We celebrated Dave's birthday...I made him a shirt from Liberty of London fabric


and had lunch with a way-back friend from Hawaii who I hadn't seen in probably
57 years...we spent a couple of hours catching up!


So, that's what I've been up to since my last post...

TTYL!

  8. Always so good to hear from you Margy. Your family is myriad and beautiful (as you are) - and that shirt is awesome. Liberty of London for men is so up my alley.
