Happy Mother's Day!

Behold the beautiful fresh flowers I received for Mother's Day! My children co-conspired, without my knowledge, and got these for me! The ring leader was Rachel. The delivery man was Andy. Ben had full knowledge of the arrangement. (pun intended) What sneaky kids! I think it's great! A bit of sneakiness can be a good thing if used in positive ways, right? Thanks you three!

My brother Bill also surprised me and sent me this edible birdhouse. The OUTSIDE is edible, by birds, not me, and what remains is the birdhouse! So cool! Now I have to place it where the squirrels can't nibble on it, 'cause they will! This is from Basu Enterprises, Four Oaks, NC.

I feel so special! Wow!

I'll be seeing Mom and Jim and Carol as well. What a great Mother's Day!

At the Gallery

Down's Hall is the oldest building on the Adrian College Campus and contains the Stubnitz Gallery where Andy's Senior Art Show was exhibited.

Andy's Senior exhibition was titled, "Archipelago" with a sister piece titled, "Adrift." (Adrift is pictured in an earlier post.)

Nathan, Orion, Nick Freeman, and Andy discussing his large island.
(I'm afraid I don't know the woman.)

Great Grandma Irene had a chance to hold Orion while he slept at his Uncle Andy's Senior Art Show.

The show was really nice, well attended, and fun. It was so enjoyable to hear people talking about Andy's work in such positive ways. Many marveled at the detail and workmanship of his miniature people. Two of his Art Professors were in attendance and of course said very flattering things about Andy's work.

Are we proud? Need you ask?
