Four Ribbons

My daughter Joanna has entered the Woodlawn Needlework Show for a number of years now (as do my wife and did my daughter Sarah). This year she won four awards for her entries - two first place awards and two special awards: The Emma Matheson Award and the Cathleen R. Durkin Award, both for Outstanding Entries in the Junior division. It is quite a show if you never have heard of it or gone to see it. Hundreds and hundreds of entries from all over the country and even some international entries.

Here are her ribbons for this year:

Flamingos!

Taking a couple of days off after Easter . . . So we went to the National Zoo yesterday. Nice day to be out. We thought the flamingos were pretty funny. They would just break out doing this every so often! (And this was one of their shorter outbursts!)
