rainy monday?

they are predicting rain today.
not sure it will reach us here,
it always seems to slide off or dry up
by the time it gets close.
i hope it doesn't come to como zoo,
i'm heading there in a bit to meet
a family for portraits. we needed to
reschedule from saturday cuz it was
too wet that morning. cloud cover is
always nice but rain...not so much.

hit my sister's pool yesterday while
she, pete and amanda took emily to camp.

(um...just got a call from heather,
the mom of the family whose photos i'm
taking today...she wants to reschedule.
rain is quite likely and i understand
trying to get a family together, cleaned
up and in the car with the dog only to
arrive and then it rains...oh well.
wednesday is looking good.)

so, back to the pool...
um, laurie (my sister-in-law) and jaqci
(different jaqci) came by, scott, nicki
and the girls were there, scott and alene
kempfert are in town from durango, colorado
and spent the day with us as well (my mom,
of course, was there too). it was a great
crowd, a great afternoon...we had a big
lunch and forgot about the heat for the day.
anne, pete and amanda got back around 5:30
and started grilling.
i'll back up a bit.
alene and her son scott used to live on the
same cul de sac as us years ago.
anne and scott are the same age and have
been friends forever as well as his sister
amy and older bother todd.
so we've been friends a long time but
everyone has moved about the country and it's
rare when they are here. it was really great
to see them and visit and reminisce all day.
alene flew in and scott drove into town
in his brand new lamborghini (las vegas edition)!
what an incredible machine. NO, i didn't bring
my camera..i thought it was going to be me
mom and laurie. bad photographer, BAD photographer!
i'll get a shot another day, he's in town
for a little while.

big week....starkey hearing foundation gala
events get underway on thursday and i head
to south dakota on saturday for diane & jim's
wedding. a truly western affair. i have been
encouraged to wear jeans to shoot the wedding!
hm......i just might!


no photos today....
jacquie, i hope your tooth is better!
