More Scoutie and flowers
More Scoutie and flowers, tulips this time. Tulip fields are a big deal around here especially in the beautiful Skagit Valley. They found a place that allows kids to run down the rows of tulips and Scouty is taking full advantage. Fun! Pretty!

In San Francisco last month
Was this just last month? When I went down to San Francisco. JJ picked me up at the airport and we went to the Robert Schwartz Chopin concert? But first we went to this wonderful Burmese restaurant called Mandalay. Worked out perfect. We ate wonderful things and saw other items delivered that we have got to try next time. Featured was this crunch concoction called Tea Salad. It wasn't really a salad and I dunno if there was any tea in it but it was sure good.
So hoping we get to go here again!

Group shot from Art Show
Remember that art show we put up at Temple Beth Am last month. I bugged various family members to come to our show. So some did show. Dennis, of course, he made a piece, it's to the left of mine. Six total. His was an annotated comparison of his life with his adoptive family juxtaposed what it might have looked like with his birth family.
Suzie, Stephen, Naomi, Dennis , me, Melina Chris.
Seder was supposed to be last night, but I'm holding one on Sunday. Have most of the parts tugether.

Ilana and her Simon
Ilana and her Simon from today. Thanks to western medicine that saved both of them from birth injury.
Cute picture! Stephen and Naomi are there visiting, appreciate their help. I will have a seder on their return next Sunday. It will all workout.
Simon's growing. He won't be Tiny Simon for long!

Jamie
In adolescence, neurological and psychological problems present before birth escalated, and his demons only grew over the years.

Scout in the blossoms
Time for a Scoutie picture! We're in our months and months long spring. Scoutie has been over her with her folks in the evening on the bicycles. She'll be two in a few months and she is feeling it. Got to be everywhere and do everything.

Priscilla Parkin Scholarship Award winners
Two of the three Priscilla Parkin Scholarship Award winner for 2024. Dennis talked to the third but didm't get her into the picture. A Physics and a Math major. One of the parents took the picture and sent it to me. This endowed scholarship given in memory of my friend Priscilla Parkin who died in 1971, presents a cash scholarship (this year 5K) to a number of graduating seniors majoring in the Exact Sciences. Last year, the Crown Provost moved the awarding to alumni weekend and we get to be involved.
So rewarding for me!
