Geeze, how could I fail to mention KUNG FU HUSTLE???? I laughed my @ss off with that one! It's a must-see!!!!!!!!!!!! Also....Adrian Brody....why do I like this man????  Just saw The Jacket - creepy! The Big White, ala Fargo but with heart.

People

People are like books. Some are thin, some are thick, a few old and musty, while others are brand new with shiny, slick covers. All have a message and something you can learn from them. I cherish the books I have, the books I've lost and those I still have yet to discover.

Someone I miss dearly is my ex-mother-in-law, Garnett. At 80 plus she still kicked @ss. She was a physchiatric nurse then retired and went into the Peace Corp for two years, followed by a couple years as a recruiter, etc. Garnett was always learning, never critical, and would always listen if I needed a compassionate ear. She passed away five years ago and I still think about her.

We always joked that I wanted her fabulous apple cheescake recipie she used to make me for my birthdays. She said I'd never get it until she died, so it was a truly sad day when her daughter sent it to me in the mail. I still have it clipped inside my cookbook she gave me a long time ago. And today, I received in the mail, a painting I had done for her in September of 1985. Her daughter, Cathi, had kept it for a long time and thought my kids would like to see some art I had done a long time ago. Thank you, Cathi!!!!!!!!


Places

I'd like to go anywhere I haven't been.  But definitely with a GPS system and ONSTAR in case I get lost and can't find my way back to civilization.

Vail/I was young, it was fun, Santa Fe/ very cool, Monterey/awesome, San Francisco/had to replace the brakes, Milwaukee/got to visit my grandmother, Chicago/two years of Cubbies, music and beer, Texas/ too big (go visit Caddo Lake), and several places inbetween.

I long for sitting in an outdoor cafe in Paris, sketching/dreaming/drinking coffee until noon and wine until midnight. Egypt would be very interesting yet HOT. I love the pyramids - me and Cheryl are going if either of us wins the lottery.

Hey Laura Lee!  Good to hear from you.  I hear you on the kids getting older...my three girls are growing like weeds.  I'm sure the summer will zip by.  How having you been doing in the campaigns? I love the shot of the kids on Mt. Scott.  One question...do you think Barbie was a little scared?  :)  Take care!

Wow- a children's book? That would be so awesome. If you've been thinking about it, then you must have something to say. Definitely go for it!
I've been doing good, busy at work and things are great at home. It's great to hear your creative juices are flowing~
