June Blooms

"MMM...Tasty" is in the spotlight again. It was chosen to be in the Art of the Animal Kindom XIV in Bennington, VT, June 13-July 26. (www.benningtoncenterforthearts.org )

The Carnegie museum in Pittsburgh had a special members night for their members to preview their new exhibit on robots. We were thrilled to discover some old friends included in the exhibit.
I was excited to see Klatu from the classic science fiction movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (the original, not the remake).

And of course C3PO and R2D2!


My birthday was shared with my cousin's wedding in the Cleveland area. My folks flew in from Dallas which was a special treat.
The bride and groom were lovely dancing their first dance, but my favorite couple on the dance floor were my parents. They celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary this June!
Dad took Vic and I and my Uncle Marvin and Suzanne out to dinner to celebrate my birthday. With sculpture always on my mind, the pile of garlic mashed potatoes became ...well...a rabbit.



The restaurant celebrated my birthday too and treated me to a lovely tart complete with candle!

The next week we headed to Cincinnati for the Riverspan Sculpture show held on the "purple people's bridge". The bridge spans the Ohio river connecting Newport,KY with Cincinnati. It's a lovely venue and the breeze from the river made an otherwise very hot weekend bearable. This was my first year doing this show and we enjoyed meeting the people in the area.

Monday morning we started on our next great adventure, an adventure we hope will last many years. We drove to the Toledo area to pick up our new four legged, furry child. Andrew is just about 1 year old, a Cavelier King Charles spaniel. It meant we were on the road all day, but it was well worth it. He is quite the little lover.
