Washington D.C. (Week 19: May 5-11)

We went to Washington D.C. this week for a conference with the Association of Centers for the Study of Congress. Because our Congressional Papers archivist left a year and a half ago, I was asked to go as a substitute. So Romney came with me and enjoyed the Smithsonian Museums while I sat through the conference. Then, when I was done for the day, we'd meet up and go see something together.

The conference was held in the National Archives building. Here I am on the front steps. However, I had to go in around the back where researchers go in.



(Romney) The first day, while Dainan was at his conference I went to the National Gallery of Art and Sculpture Garden. There were so many spectacular paintings and works of art. Here are some of the many that I saw. Recognize any of these?

In preparation for Mother's day I handmade these cards for both our mothers. Happy Mother's Day to all!



Green Gecko (Week 17: April 21-27)

Hawaii has very interesting apartment guests. Everyone likes these guys because they're pretty and they eat some of the other guests like cockroaches. Of course we know some people who are deathly scared of them.
