I walked by the Reed College flags today and they were still putting them out. I will check again tomorrow to see if they are finished. The display is quite astonishing.

March 6th is the birthday of two very important men in my life — my son, Mark, and my son-in-law, Jack, also known as M & M’s dad. I searched for a photo of them together and finally decided to use this one taken about 3 years ago. I cropped them out of a family photo.

Jack is on the left and Mark on the right. I have always thought it was nice of Stephanie to marry someone with the same birthday as someone else in our family so that I do not have to remember another date.  Both of these men are very dear to Mr C and I. They are both brilliant and creative and a joy to be around. We always like to say that the best part of living in North Carolina was having Jack come in to our lives. Jack is an architect and Mark is a landscape designer. There are not words to express how much we appreciate the landscaping design that Mark has done for us at our homes. Jack is by far the best dad in the world. He is also a wonderful partner in life to Stephanie. It makes us very happy that they have made us part of their lives here in Portland.

So, Happy Birthday to Jack and Mark. We took Mark out for his birthday when we were in SF last week. Tonight, we will go out for sushi with the family and back to Steph’s for Jack’s favorite dessert – cheesecake – yummm!

I have had a lot of catch-up/clean-up stuff to do since we got back from the desert. I did  a major purge of my clothes closet and drawers on Saturday. I have also had to catch up with the Surface Design website updates. Today, I hope to get back in the studio to do something creative.
