New Web Pages (5/22): I created two new web pages, today, one about my poppies and the other about my roses. It's been a while since I created a web page fom scratch - I almost forgot how. I should have plenty of resources for my watercolors this summer. Check out my roses at: |

| Nine Year Docent (5/20): Every three years, serving as a docent at the Albuquerque museum, we get another chunk of turquoise to add to our docent badges. I received my third turquoise - meaning I've been a docent for nine years now. My service began the first year we moved to New Mexico. In the photo are docents who began the same year receiving their third turquoise as well. Three others from our "nine year class" were not present. Nine years is not that long - other docents received turquoise for 12, 15, 18 and 24 years of service. Most importantly, 23 new docents received their badges after the first year of training.

Sunrise, Poppies and Balloons (5/15): I awoke to a beautiful sunrise over our mountain. Also, there are more poppies in my yard every day.

| Happy Birthday Frani (5/8): My beautiful bride had a birthday today. For her birthday we went to Mr. Powdrell's Barbeque on 4th street. This was our first time having BBQ in New Mexico. It was just OK - I guess we have been spoiled by Kansas City BBQ. Mr. Powdrell's Barbeque's did not have burnt ends which would have been our first choice. Of course, both of our sons remembered their mother's birthday and sent flowers. I took photos of both arrangements.   From Jim & Judy From Bud, Shari, Tess, Tiff & Tim ... |

| Photos of Museum Docents (5/1): Each year, I shoot photos of docent training and other events at the Albuquerque museum.

This will be my ninth year as a docent, so I'll get a third small chunk of turquoise to attach to my docent badge.  Me Shooting Photos at the Museum ... |
