Tyrus Wong. Erik Friedl sent me this link and you will enjoy every moment of it. Using a 2,000 year old kite making process, Tyrus forms a Centipede and then we see it flying. This is definitely a must watch.

FINALLY ON OUR WAY TO WHOLE FOODS
…to order our Thanksgiving turkey, we stopped at Virgil’s Hardware (they’ve been in Glendale forever and have everything).
We parked at the door and were about to get out when we saw the most amazing sight ever…a big black mutt of a dog carrying his leash in his mouth as he followed his owner! Well, you really had to be there…we sat laughing so hard and thinking “this is a great movie scene”.
Later at check out, there was the dog, doing his best beg for cookies from the check out woman who apparently had been thru this routine many times before. Just like Yuki, he jumped up, placing his huge paws on the counter and wolfed the treat down, then another, and another…….finally it was time to go and the owner said “gather up” and the dog did exactly that, placing the entire leash in his mouth. What Charles loved the most was that the owner said “It was his idea”!

THE KATRINA DOLPHINS: One Way Ticket to Paradise
What an amazing tale of courage, survival and hope was told to ‘The Tuesday Reading Group’.
Marion Jones &Marky Allen
hosts of the event at the Valley Hunt Club
Vanya Rohner,Halla Aguirre,Georgeanne Irvine & her sister Ginger Bernard
After a lovely luncheon, we heard guest speaker Georgeanne Irvine, author of over 20 books, relate the mesmerizing journey of the dolphins from the Marine Life Oceanarium in Gulfport, Mississippi. These beautiful mammals were shockingly washed into the Gulf of Mexico when a wall of water caused by Hurricane Katrina flooded their home. Nearly two weeks later Elijah, Jackie, Jill, Michelle, Kelly, Tamra, Toni and Noah were discovered by search helicopters and then the massive rescue effort began.
Carol Soucek King & speaker Georgeanne Irvine
We sat on the edges of our chairs as Georgeanne told this wondrous story and later I was thrilled to purchase her magnificent book which details in enthralling words and magnificent pictures this hard to believe, miraculous tale.
This book, ‘THE KATRINA DOLPHINS’ would be a wonderful Christmas present! (It’s on display in my studio.)
