OWOH Winners

The winners of my items were all notified-Rockinrobin won the sheet of stamps containing images of my carvings. She has gotten in touch with me and the sheet of stamps has been mailed; other winners of collages and the hero arts set of stamps include Chawanakee; Tatting Chic, and a poster who wishes to remain anonymous because of some spam and virus problems. I am waiting for addresses from these posters so that I can mail their gifts!

Thank you all for entering!!!

My Baby

Just indulge-he is all consuming at the moment. Growing a ton-and just as playful and funny as can be.

Year of the Ox Carvings

I carved both -the sketchy piece is the front, and the gray toned Ox is the back side of my page for the Year of the Ox swap.

Snickers

I would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family. This is Snickers. He is a 3 month old chocolate lab. He is housebroken (thank goodness). He is a very quiet pup so far-but I expect in a new home, he may keep me awake for a few days. Yikes!! Isn't he the cutest thing??

B D Wong

I spent the morning with this guy at a diversity conference. I sat in the first row, so am positive I blinded him with the flash trying to get his picture! He palys Dr, George Huang on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Very interesting man-good story-between 2 sessions, I spent 3 hours with him-he used no notes, no cards-he spoke from the heart during not only a break-out session, but during the keynote address as well. Warm, funny, sincere-a good way to start a day!

ISU Parent's Day

Alex and I went to Iowa State University's Parent's Day on Saturday. We chose not to go to the game, but instead walked around campus for a while-visited her new dorm room, and drove by her sorority. If you would like to see more pictures, they are on my Picasa album at:

Drop in Gas Prices

On July 12, 2008 I paid $3.959 a gallon. Today, I paid $3.079. Now if we could squeak it down another 50 cents a gallon or so!! Today, life in Des Moines, Iowa is not so bad!
