T'Mahk Too - Comments on Old but colorful news http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html We went to the butterfly exhibit the 2nd day it was open. Most of my pictures are just like everyone else's, so I spared us all the cropping and posting. But I will share a few. I did get this... en-gb Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:42:27 -0500 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:47:58 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.1 kim@andfam.net 180 By Chris Ok, that is all too cool that you got that back!

Then I was more impressed that you had cool matching coat and boots, as did your dd. And the jumping was very cool. But the ultimate cool is that I know an artist--an artist that has not only sold a work of art, but that work of art ended up in a "market" and was rebought and given back to the artist. (see Kerri off to look for anything she might have that would have this artist's autograph..an old card? and old mailing envelope?? oh dear, has Kim ever even mailed me anything....... is it enough to say, I have known her... online for nearly ten years..... how will I prove this relationship when she is Rich and Famous????.... oh dear.... ) http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html#c315879 315879:822@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ WOW!

I remember writing your name on something, LOL -- all those books you decluttered to my house, I'm sure! I promise not to disown our friendship when I'm rich and famous, and will, likewise, try not to embarrass you now that you've come out of the closet as my friend, LOL http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html#c315880 315880:822@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I'm sure I've sent you SOMEthing, Kerri ...

It is a good picture, even with the exclamatory signature. ;o) Just think, if your parents last names were 'Smith' or Jones' nobody probably would have given the sticker "Kim Smith" a second glance, to try and reunite it with its owner... probably wouldn't even know the child was a relative of that mushroom hunter guy or the butterfly lady or however they knew mom and dad! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html#c315881 315881:822@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ too funny!

I've never known anyone who got anything displayed (I've known of people, but you're the first) anywhere, much less sold, much much less sold and returned! That's the kind of thing I'd want to put in a book I'm writing to my grandkids! I adore the matching boots and jacket. See why I love winter? It's much more cumbersome to coordinate umbrellas and kleenex. You jump like a model, too. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html#c315882 315882:822@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Oh, that is wonderful. The whole chalk painting story is just wonderful.

All those fluttery things freaked him out. He still isn't keen on having one of the butterflies land on him. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html#c315883 315883:822@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ That is so cool about the picture!

My ds didn't like the butterflies landing on him either. We have a butterfly conservatory out our way and a few years ago we went on a class trip. He stood very, very, still when one landed on his head. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html#c315886 315886:822@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Hey, that painting is terrific!

AND I love your coat & boots, almost to the point of covetousness. :-) It is nice for us moms to wear perky things every so often, lest we get stuck in that blah-drab-middle-aged-mom rut. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html#c315888 315888:822@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Way cool, to get that painting back.

I celebrate skunk cabbages and am glad you, as a young girl, immortalized them forever in the much sought-after pastel known as "Skunk cabbages". They are one of the very first signs of spring here, earlier than crocuses and daffodils, though also more stinky. : ) http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000822.html#c315889 315889:822@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Your pink jacket and boots are FUN!
