Kathryn in Salt Lake City (we think)

Here's a cute picture of our niece Kathryn! Lee and Carolyn scanned this from a tiny picture about 1" high. Is it from Salt Lake City? About 6 years old? Too cute!

More Green Man B & B

Here is a photo of Carolyn in the garden at Green Man B & B. And a fairy's hanky and forget-me-nots, also in the garden.

The "Green Man" B & B, somewhere in Ohio!

Here is Thea on our trip in August, at the "Green Man" B&B. This was a beautiful Victorian house, way off the beaten path looking over freshwater ponds and corn fields, just outside Wooster, Ohio. There were beautiful gardens, and a little rowboat to take out, which we'd have done if there had been time.

Joe Crowley and Webb Family

We had someone snap this photo of Joe when we set up a 'portrait studio' at the commons in 2006. Lee was the photographer, Carolyn and I his able assistants!















Lulu watched the two-day 'portrait studio' with great interest!

Thea, Carolyn and Joe!

Here are Thea and I eating clams, drinking beer, and having fun with Joe Crowley! We're wearing the hats he gave us. What a sweet, great guy!!! xxx

A Few Last Korea Photos

Charlie was impressed with the New York Hot Dog joint in Seoul!

Bored riot police sitting in the park (the riot did not materialize):

Charlie said this building was City Hall being renovated. That's a wrap around the building!

At Deoksugung Palace, colorful changing of the guard (Charlie thought the fellow standing so close was an off-duty palace guard):

This photo is also from Deoksugung Palace. I like this photo:

These last two photos are from the hike in Bukhansan National Park:

A favorite pasttime, rock sitting:

Lastly, for a guy, Charlie really gets what to bring home for gifts! This beautiful doll made entirely from paper is a portrait of the first female doctor in the royal palace, in the mid-1500's:

I led an outdoor photo class on 13 June 09,

Charlie - Korea - May 2009

Charlie was in Seoul, South Korea for a meeting in early May. One of his colleagues, an American living in Seoul, arranged for a group of them to go hiking in Bukhansan National Park. It's close to Seoul, and the subway line goes right to the park entrance. Below, a pretty bridge crosses the stream:



















They passed several temples on the hike into the mountains. Below, a small temple surrounded by flowers.


















Further up the mountain trail, a large bell covered by a beautiful pagoda like structure:




































They passed interesting piles of rocks, large and small. Charlie said that hikers contribute to the building of these.

Having fun in Grants Pass!

From Thea and Carolyn's trip to Grants Pass two years ago!

Carolyn's Mississippi Visit, April 2009

Carolyn visited in April and we had a really fun time. Spent a day in Memphis (Elmwood Cemetery, Bosco's Brew Pub, Dixon Gallery), made her teach a nuno-felting workshop for my fiber guild, explored Greenwood and the Mississippi Delta, visited friends, went to the Holly Springs Pilgrimage, and generally just wore ourselves out!!

Here are a few Memphis photos. Charlie & Carolyn in Elmwood Cemetery. All the photos in this post are from Elmwood Cemetery.

This pretty statue, below, watches over the memorial for Staff Sgt. John Bayard Snowden, Jr., who died in the Battle of the Bulge, Feb. 3, 1945, 15 days before his 31st birthday. He is buried in the American Military Cemetery in Hamm, Luxembourg.

Cemeteries are full of beautiful statuary, exquisitely carved monuments, and tender messages. The statue below ponders the passing of Etta Grigsby Partee, 1884-1911, and the back side of the monument reads:

Warm summer sun shine brightly here,
Warm southern wind blow gently here,
Green sod above lie lightly here,
Good night, Dear Heart, good night, good night.

Here is Carolyn with John Overton. Overton Park in Midtown Memphis must be named after him.

I don't think I have ever seen a swing in a cemetery before, but what a great idea! Someone wanted people to have fun when they came for a visit.
