The Journey: Good bye, May!

Last night we went to The Gala again this year.(I felt prettier than I looked, but oh well, I don't care- heehee -no comments, k?) It is a huge fundraising event for those who are able to give to the hospital. There are also some lucky schmucks who cannot give but because those in line ahead of them for tickets, say no, the offer trickles down and that is us! We had fun. A delicious dinner. Visiting with lots of friends. Listening to a professional auctioneer, auction off some aaaamazing things donated, like, wine of the month for a year, several trips, dinner for 10 at a nice restaurant in town, a beautiful bronze sculpture of horses valued at $29, 000! (btw, it only went for a fraction of that, John said now that is the way to get some art!), a wine tasting dinner for 10, I think. It was fun to watch and listen. One thing they did is sell places in a contest to win a diamond ring. Our kind host, Chuck Notbohm, bought the four women at our table a place in the game. My friend, Vicki won! It was especially sweet for her to win because they had their wedding rings confiscated/stolen on their honeymoon and she hasn't had a diamond ring for 14 years of marriage! Now she does! I don't think the ring could have been won by a more excited and grateful girl! Too fun!

Phoebe is playing T-ball and loving it!! And doing great at it, too! She is the one in orange in the pic. I will try to get some better pics at the next game for ya!

One of the last weeks of school, she had a dress up week and this day was Cartoon/Superhero Day. She is Jerry of Tom and Jerry, it is one of her favs! I think she is one of the cutest mice I have ever seen! (oh! flashing back to Yellowstone vacation and a mouse caper.... squeel! there he is! oh, he's cute, ah! there he is!.....thump)

John grew out his beard. Soon after this pic he trimmed it, I don't know why... I could have made a comment... something like, when you can put it in a ponytail holder, its too long...or something like that.
