Speaking of Zoo to You...

On July 1st, Ivy and I went to dance to "The Ivy Band" aka Unfinished Business when they played in Templeton for Templeton's Concert in the Park. Mariah showed up and kept saying she had to go home, but she couldn't tear herself away from those hot 60's sounds and fine company. Mariah stayed for the entire show.

While we were standing near the gazebo, a cousin of Ivy's found us ....HI Trisha and Wesley.....wish we'd gotten a pic with you.

Then a beautiful young girl came up to Ivy and me , gave us each a wonderful hug and kiss and acted as if we were long lost friends. I was embarrassed but when I couldn't place her I had to ask sheepishly, "Do I know you??? Who are you????" The answer shocked me. "I'm Sami, Anita and David's daughter." Now in my defense she hadn't been at the Zoo to You compound when we had visited a couple of weeks back. AND I hadn't seen her since her 6th grade birthday party(11 or 12 years old) and Sami is now in high school.
David... it is time to lock her up in a closet! Thanks Sami for hanging out with us for as long as you did. You really made Ivy and me happy.
Sami even promised to give Maya a kiss for us.
