59th Chautauqua All-County Spring Festival
How many Shaw Girls went to All-County in the Amp at Chautauqua? I went a bunch of times, first on my flute in the jr. high band, and then with my oboe in the senior band. Matthew and Katie were participants this year in the senior high chorus, and the junior high chorus, repectively. It was a nice, warm, beautiful day for the event. Astute blog readers might be able to spot Katie. This shot is right in the middle of the the grand finale "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The finale still gives me shivers after all these years.

Summertime
Oh my! Doesn't Matthew and his girlfriend (!!) look amazing. Wow.
I completed my first race last weekend. It feels really good to get back into my groove after getting the cast off my leg. \
The blond woman with me is my friend, Julie, who was my training partner when I lived in Kalispell. We signed up for this race kind of on a whim since we had not seen each other for a while. She had a baby last year and I moved to Helena.
I am on the right on the outside with the white short sleeve. Can you see me? It was a blast and a beautiful day!!

Prom!
Here's a few pictures of Matthew and his girlfriend Jade, before they headed off to the prom. It's always fun to take pictures outside. The neighbors always applaud. Check out Matthew's shoes.
Here's a close-up of Matthew's brocade vest that I sewed for him. I sewed the bowtie, too. Astute blog readers will recognize that this is the same pattern as Angelo's groom vest. We bought the tux and the zoot shoes from eBay.
