A Photographic Rarity

Just returning from a New York/Cape Cod trip, brother Dennis sends along this pic of his three generations.  
Back row, reading right to left: Dennis, his daughter Gabrielle, her sons Elijah and Toby.
Front row, reading right to left: Gabrielle’s daughters  Joey, Kat, Tess and Hannah.  Dog’s name unknown.

On the same day, Gabrielle sends me this photo of her six kids, telling us that this is the first time ever (and perhaps the last time) that all six have ever been assembled for a single  shoot.

Dancing and Drumming, Epilogue

Hadn’t seen Ivi all day until she popped in this evening for a few minutes on her way to stay at a friend’s house.  She was bustling with energy and enthusiasm, but reported that she was feeling some strained reaction in her muscles.  She had started the day by running a few miles, then did yoga later in the morning.  I think she did some zumba, too.  For three hours in the afternoon, she danced under the instruction of Sarah Lee Parker, with the African drummers laying down the beat  She tells us she loves this kind of exhilarating dancing!  Now we know exactly why Ivi is trying for a semester or two in Africa.

Saturday Morning Shopping

Abandoning our home following the crow invasion, Kim and Lawrence make a Saturday morning shopping round.   First, we encounter a fine-as-wine ’66 VW pickup and its owner, Jenny, in the WalMart parking lot; then we buy garlic at Farmers Market; and finally encounter an activist/fringe (would-be terrorist) group of knitters occupying the City Hall premises.
