The Closing Party was themed "Madhatter's party" Oh my, some very creative hats. here are two lovely women with wild hats. I can't identify either of them, but i know the one in the middle ; ) If you can help with identification, please let me know. Here's the amazing CC Sadler. CC made a hat out or her hair.. how clever! For those who don't know, CC has been the photographer, producer, director and editor of the 'slide show' retrospective for the closing cerrmonies. ALwAyS very well done!!! YOU RoCK, CC!

Mountain, NC; Lorraine Demers of Quebec, Canada and me! (Sandia Park, NM) Lorns has on the hat she wore on her wedding day 35 years ago! Needless to say Liz and I aren't THAT old! 8-) I do regret we didn't get you or Jen in that picture!! Love the one of the 4 of us on the swing! We ARE
the women of the ilk, aren't we??!

women of "Ilk"

At some point during the week, i told jen grove about my friend who visited me in early July. Amy, from PA, had a fabulous time here and we played around with what was deserving for women of our ilk. Things like meals suited for a queen, having doors opened for us... stuff like that. Well, one day, as jen and i were walking along the path, we passed the chair swing under the trees. it was the FIRST time we had walked by when the swing was empty. We immediately squealed "Look, a chair for our ilkiness!!" not long after that, Julie Gray and Lorraine Demers passed by. we invited them to join our ilk as they are certainly qualified. Lorraine jokingly wondered if she wanted to be seen in photography with the likes of us!! Silly girl! --so here we are Lorraine on the left, Julie on the right
Next to come along was Heather Lee.


As more people passed, we coerced them to become members of the sisters of ilk. I believe that's one of newer members on the left.. the little inkmouse. jennifer (oh dear, i forget your last name) from judy melvin's class standing next to jen in the back and Lynn (last name forgotten, also in judy's class) and forgive me for totally forgetting the name of the lovely woman in the middle

Lastly, yes, jen and i were caught kissing upon many occassion. what can we say?? we are sisters!!!

Kodak moments

Our Cyberscribes group has a special board where we share pictures with each other. yesterday, Christine from Oregon shared a picture of four of us taking a picture of someone in front of her work. I am the third person in the line up
and this is the picture that I was taking. Kate Irwin of Virginia painted a lovely canvas in Charles Pearce's class. Lovely photo of a wonderful woman who should be quite proud of what she produced!

Clicking on any picture posted here on the blog will give you a larger version of the photo

madly catching up from my Ozark home, teri

home again...

after two solid days of driving, charles and i arrived at my house around 4:00 yesterday. the first order of business was to play wity my baby dog. we joined charles for dinner at a local italian place. more puppy play, then off to bed i went.

i have a bunch of pics to share and will do them as i can --time allowing. deadlines are knocking on the door. laundry, unpacking and of course catching up on sleep.

i'm glad to be home and in the arms of my loving husband. i hope everyone had a safe and uneventful trip home. --share your pictures with us!!!!! if you post them here to the blog, they can stay for as long as we want instead of revolving off the graphic board. just send me a note asking for the password and stuff. i trust you ALL know how to find me!!

back in the ozarks, teri

girls just wanna have fun

goodness... i can't for the life of me remember what night this was, but we were all enjoying the social. here's me with Eliza Holliday---- so good to see her. it had been a long timeme, jen grove and eliza, having blast with lots of giggles.













Barbara Close and I enjoyed viewing two exhibits together... OH.. it's all coming back to me:: this was wednesday night, July 26

a shot taken yesterday of our class... my my.. aren't we working hard. well.... some of us were ; )

Jen proudly shows her piece from the previous day. i sit directly behind her....judy has been known to kick us out when we giggle too much

poor sir charles, someone (gee, i wonder who ; ) had left him a note on the chalkboard advising him to work a little harder on his letterforms! that's his canvas hanging behind him. looks like he is taking his "your truly, an admirer" suggestions to heart. sorry charles.... the imp in me could NoT resist.

and now, onward for our last full day.

hugs to all,
teri
