David Brezinski , Albert Kollar, Anne and Bill Clemmons in the yard
As promised in the comment section last night, here are some current pictures of me looking like a "beachball that has been stepped on." You can thank my adoring brothers for that comparision last week, upon seeing their sister step off the plane in Lewiston. I must confess though that the two of them also offered me the front seat on the way home, carried my luggage for me and were insanely fun to spend time with, despite the sibling-type commentary.
Although I certainly do feel shorter, somehow, and larger - people still have volunteered to be photographed with me! This morning was a red-letter day, as my neighbor Jane (in her beautiful garden below) had her friend Bill Clemons, otherwise known as William Clemons - the well known paleontologist from Berkley visit during his two week trip to Jordan doing dino work. Jane and her husband Bob have been hosting Bill and other notable "bone-diggers" off and on for decades. We heard all about the Carnegie Museum of History's expansion of the dinosaur exhibits and the opening of "T-Rex vs T-Rex."In 1902, one of the first T-Rex's was found on the family ranch and, after a brief stop at a museum in New York during WW2, it has called Philly and Carnegie home ever since. Carnegie Museum's Invertebrate Geologist and Collection Managers Albert Kollar and Adjunct Assoc. Curator David Brezinski were visiting with Bill today while on their way to other areas of the state, along with some time at the kitchen table with glasses of iced tea and lots of good stories.

Anne, you are so beautiful at 27 weeks! I was huge!
ReplyDeleteHey, your garden is lookin' good also! That's a real nice pumpkin vine you've got going there. Mine are about the same stage. (Most of my melons are a total lost cause due to the cold spring.) Starting in the house is definately a good plan. Keep us posted.......... your blog is fun.
