Artist Card of Dudley from Beth


Look at this cute art card made just for me of my Dudley by artist Beth Meador (www.myspace.com/blindgirlartist) from Oklahoma. She is a fellow artist on my Milande Art community group. Her goal is to send artist trading cards all around the world so that people can look at her art and she can raise awareness about Retinities Pigmentosa (RP) - that is right she is almost completely blind and can still draw beautifully! She currently only has 1% of her vision remaining. RP is typically diagnosed in adolescents and young adults and is a progressive disorder. You can read more about it at http://www.blindness.org/ I feel so privileged to have received one of Beth's cards and am grateful for my own ability to see so much beauty in this world. Thank you, Beth!

Here are some pictures from Lauren's latest trip - she is working on Princess Cruise Lines with her friend Brittany. They went to Cabo, Puerta Vallarta and a couple of other ports - five cruises in five weeks. She will be going to Alaska for three months this summer :(

Happy Earth Day!

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvets; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year. - Robert Frost

Do something nice for your Mother today!

Woo Hoo - Chicken Coop is Done! Thanks, DAD!!!









My Dad built an awesome chicken coop for our four chickens. The top flips up for ventilation and to easily remove eggs. It has a nice front door and the chickens are really loving it! He brought it down from Prescott last weekend.
Lauren just returned from five weeks of work on board the Princess Saphire. I will post more pictures of her in Cabo soon. She is pictured holding the smallest chicken here - Maude.
Thanks again Dad!!!!

John McEnroe Event - Steve Nash!!!







I went to a tennis exhibition fundraiser at the Village Tennis club this evening where John McEnroe played Andrei Neval. It was very fun - but the best part was when my wonderful Stevie Nash walked in and sat right across from me. He took a bunch of photos afterwards with all the kids, but I was too embarrassed to ask him for a pic. I did take a bad photo with my camera phone though.
