Lo and Behold!

These cool collages are made by my big brother, Mike Miller. He is a mixed media artist and these silhouette collages are made from vintage photos and are his latest creation. Mike and Karen, my sister in law, are also the proprietors of Lo & Behold! which is their business of procuring and selling antiques and cultural relics. Mike's collection of cultural relics is often of an odd sort but has attracted quite a following. His artwork can be found in John Derian's store in New York as well as at Yard Dog in Austin, TX. Check him out on the web at www.loandbeholdantiques.com and tell him that I sent ya!

Finally!

A HUGE congratulations goes out to my dearest friend Jen and her husband Rich who have just yesterday, after more than 2 1/2 years of waiting, received their adoption referral from China. They are now the proud parents of a beautiful little girl and have named her Ruby XiaoAi. She is gorgeous and I am so happy for them -they have waited what must have seemed like an eternity just to see her cute little face and to find out where she is. In the coming weeks they will travel to China to pick up their bundle of joy and bring her home. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Mom's Day with the Phillies

Every year for the past 4 or so years I've taken my Mom to the the Phillies game for Mother's Day. Yesterday was the day and the Fightin' pulled through against the SF Giants in the bottom of the 9th. The weather was great and we enjoyed the usual Phillies fare... sandwiches from Tony Lukes, crab fries from Chickie's & Pete's and of course, my favorite, the ice cream "helmet" sundae! Thanks Mom for a great time and Happy Mother's Day.
