Dear Old Mom & Dad
Here's a great pic of mom & dad from last week - they are celebrating their 50th anniversary later this year! We cannot be getting that old...

Bye-bye Queen Mother
The Queen Mother left Friday morning after a nice visit. I realized as she was getting in her car that I hadn't taken any pictures of all our fun little side trips to Olga's, Panerra, Rivertown, the Electric Cheetah, Art of the Table, or any of our masterpieces like the skinny green beans and the amaretto liqueur cake with whip cream and strawberries and tea time that is all just tastes so much better and is way more fun with the Queen Mother here! Ah, hope she comes again soon :)

Aunt Bea & Nephew Leo
The Queen Mother arrived last evening to visit a few days and no sooner had she brought her dog Beatrix in with her food than Leo was ready for a new little treat. Beatrix looked on wagging her tail and I would say peace is reigning tonight in our home.

Wow Wow Wow
When we left off, the Queen Mother & Opa were on their way. We spent a wonderful day seeing many of the exhibits I have previously blogged about. We had a wonderful supper downtown with a salmon entree worthy of the ArtPrize logo. I wish I had a photo. Saturday morning, we headed over to the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park to see their ArtPrize exhibit and the Chihuly exhibit which was held over to October 31. I was happy to see it this time with the Queen Mother and without being rushed. Here are a few wonderful pieces:

View from the Corner of the Pump House
We had supper this past Saturday evening at the Pump House on Kelleys Island and I happened to have my camera with me to use in between bites of my perch sandwhich .

Happy Labor Day
To rest from our labors this past weekend, we headed to Kelleys Island in Lake Erie on Friday night. The lake was a little choppy in the dark when we went over, but John took this picture of Bridget & I on the way back. This is what you do when you are only left with one kid at home.
The nautical striped ladies.
We had a relaxing time there. The way that time goes so much slower when you separate your usual life with a trip on the ferry always amazes me. Swimming, hot tubbing, photoshoot with Bridgie, going to the little island church, visiting with my aunt, uncle & cousins, biking, eating out... and definitely one of the highlights, seeing Mom & Dad.

Tea with the Queen Mother
One very splendid surprise last weekend between the morning reunion brunch and the later afternoon reunion dinner and games was the very special tea I had with the Queen Mother. We enjoyed the tea which Edward had brought her from Harrods Department store in London. It went well with the fresh peaches and cream with amaretto flavour and Oma's teacups from the 1930's.

A Royal Coat
When I was at home for Christmas, Mom, AKA the Queen Mother, showed me the coat she had just made out of some left-over upholstery from her art teacher and she modeled it for me. Pretty awesome!
And she really does look like a model!

The QUEEN Mum
This past weekend as I was working on edits for Lindsay's wedding, I came across this gorgeous photo of the Queen Mother which I took at the wedding!
I also came across this photo of my mom & dad. I thought some of you might like to see where I came from :)

What to Do on a Rainy Day When Stranded on an Island
Take photos in the rain.
Try to make it to the grocery store to buy cheetos. If you get stranded on the porch for awhile, you just pose for pictures. (Bring a photographer along and you will always have fun)
Eat the cheetos with grandma on the couch while watching Julia Child on TV.
The yellow building with the green roof is Kelleys Island Venture Resort, the hotel built by my dad and his partners.
Maria, Bridget & the Queen Mother head back to the mainland on the ferry!

The rain turned out to be a good thing! It did clear up. The following photos are posted especially for Sharon who wanted to see more of the island and maybe not so much of the babes on the island.

A Slice of the Island Get-away
One evening whilst on the island, we decided to go out for pizza. Dad had already gone back home, so it was just us girls. What made it exciting was we could order a white pizza with spinach on it since we had no great desire for meat. I took advantage of the wait time outside to do some casual photographs so we could hold on to the memory.
Maria finally expressed her frustration at having a photographer for a mother! She felt like she was continually surrounded by the paparazzi.
So she decided to give me a taste of my own medicine.
I didn't think it was that bad!

MDW Island Retreat
This past weekend, I went on an MDW with Maria and Bridget. MDW is Bridget's name for our mother-daughter weekend. We went to Kelleys Island in Lake Erie and stayed at my mom & dad's condo there. Mom had told me that we would be on island time there and it was true! We felt like a whole week had been lived in the span of a weekend! We had a wonderful time!
Today, I'll post some sunflower photos:
