We've never really had a "family" picture before. Mostly because we don't have children and I think it would look totally silly if Richard and I took pictures of ourselves frequently to hang on the wall. So what prompted us to do it this year? One of the Gifford boys was selling a session for the lovely price of 12 BUCKS! That's right, 12 BIG ONES! We couldn't pass it up-mostly because the dogs are getting up there in age and a picture with them is worth any price- especially 12 BUCKS! The session went very quickly-as you can see from the picture above. Poor Richard didn't even get a chance to take off his coat and the dogs never made it out of their leash restraints. Two weeks later we showed up to look at our pictures and I was shocked when they nailed an 11x14 photo into a really ugly picture frame WITHOUT me even getting the chance to approve it! Worse, they only had the larger photo-the one not worth looking at- and the one above to buy copies of! It made me a little concerned-actually it made me REALLY concerned because the photographer took about a dozen shots and could only find 2 for me to look at! I think its time to call a professional because you know its a sad day when the only photos worth buying has a shadow covering half of your face! I still think it's kinda cute-Enjoy!

Happy May Day
These Pictures are from our day @ Thanksgiving Point
in Lehi, Utah. Richard and I decided to spend
the day at the Tulip Festival. We had never been
but we had aways seen the signs-
so we decided to go this year!
It was our date night and after walking
through the 55 acre gardens with over 4 miles of
beautiful winding paths we went to our
favorite Steak House for dinner-because after that much
walking, who doesn't need some hearty good food?
TRIVIA: Did you know that during the Middle Ages,
a single tulip bulb sold for the equivalent
of $5.5 million dollars?
I remember when I was in Girl Scouts, we used to get
together with our group and make baskets
of flowers and then run through the neighborhood
delivering our May Day Wishes by ringing
doorbells and running to hide. If I remember correctly,
I considered it to be super fun!
Consider this my May Day gift to you!
