hello 33

    :: well hello 33 : goodbye 32 ::

    i love this picture of my mom holding me some short time after i was born. i think birthdays should celebrate the parents, don't you? thanks mom and dad.

    . one of my favorite people said to me a number of years ago "you should do all your favorite things on your birthday". for us, that included a breakfast pastry & a latte at wheatfields.
    . i am going to begin my BIG pinhole project, which i plan to document it's growth and share with you here.
    . and there's going to be chocolate somewhere, somehow today!
    . found some balloons via Bibbi.

News and such

: go play susan's game, posted yesterday.
: cauliflower that reminds me of pinhole pieces.

: recycled record books, via poppytalk.
: a blast from my childhood : i liked the songs "it's a small world after all", "forever in blue jeans" Neil Diamond, and "these boots are made for walking", Nancy Sinatra (which was really before my time, but we had the single anyway).
: to ponder: what records/albums do you remember from your childhood?

: on a serious note : Caden spiked a fever last night after a blood transfusion and was admitted to the hospital. Caden is the four year old son of some local art friends of mine, Darin & Shannon White. Caden has neuroblastoma and has had 5 out of 6 rounds of chemo. Please keep them in your hearts and prayers.

Sunday drive

      it was just a beautiful day for a little drive outside of town.

      and to see something unexpected along the way...

When I drove across the bridge Friday afternoon I saw people stringing these bras to the railing and wished I had my camera! Today on our drive I had my camera with me.

"Instead of using pink ribbons, a few Lawrence organizations decided to use bras to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. More than 800 donated bras were hung across the railing on the Kansas River Bridge at Sixth and Massachusetts streets."

...and I thought it was someone's art project at first.
