I must have been a fortune teller as a child. I have no idea when I drew this but my Grandma saved it along with a bunch of other stuff I gave her over the years. When we got together in August she gave me this gem and a few others. Looks like I never could spell ;)

Sweet little Avalene. She is my niece :) We tried to get some pictures of Avalene at our family reunion in WA a few weeks ago but weather and time kept working against us! I think we got a few good ones… we just had to wait a little while.

So my buddy Kent called me up a few weeks ago and asked me if I would shoot some pics of him running the Riverbend Fun Run 5k . Being the kind of guy that I am… you know the kind that likes to get up at 7am on a Saturday ;) I agreed to do it. I had a lot of fun and got a few decent pics even though I was having trouble getting the sleep out of my eyes! Congrats Kent.

I get a lot of forwarded emails many of them multiple times over some of them many many times! Occasionally one of them is a somewhat interesting. This one is sort of cool… sorry if you have gotten this forward ;)
