Dear Friends:

Earlier this week I went to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, for a couple days with my daughter Mary Donnelly and her children Sarah and Sean. It was such fun to be with them-any time with them is happy. I really enjoyed the ride that soared over waterfalls, snow, mountains, etc. I felt like my feet were going to get wet a couple times. Another thing I really enjoyed was swimming in the pool late at night.

Space nerds at Disney World! L. to R.: Sean, me, and Sarah.

Our safari ride led to my telling them a story they had never heard. I told this story to so many children during my school visits that I forgot I hadn't told my own children and grandchildren. The animals on the safari ride were so beautiful and interesting, and they reminded me of my trips to Tanzania in Africa. During one of my trips, we camped out in a tent. We had been warned to keep the tent door flaps zipped up at night; but-you guessed it-someone went out in the middle of the night and failed to zip it back up. I woke up the next morning and wasn't able to move my legs. When I opened my eyes, I saw what the weight was holding them down, a great, big baboon sitting on my feet! I screamed, and the baboon took off, taking our toothbrushes and hairbrushes with him. I see primates on TV grooming each other, so I guess our things ended up as a gift for his girlfriend. I'm able to laugh at this story now, but I was pretty scared and pretty mad when it happened.

The weekend of August 27-28, I'll be in Russell, Kentucky, with my friends at Designer Art & Framing. I've created several special new images for the show, which will be released as giclées on paper. For more information on the show and the prints, please contact the gallery at 606-833-2962.

Home of Champions features Rupp Arena, where the University of Kentucky Wildcats hold their basketball games.

Forever Blue speaks for itself.

My thoughts and prayers are with my friends in Iowa who are dealing with yet another flood. I'm looking forward to seeing them this fall when I'm in the Hawkeye State for several shows: Kenneth Paul Gallery in Des Moines, October 1-2; Country Gallery in Story City, October 30; White's Gallery in Osceola, October 31; and The Village Shoppe in Kalona, November 12-13.

I remember my 1995 Collectors' Convention was held in Ames, Iowa, in Iowa State University's Hilton Coliseum, and I understand the Coliseum has been particularly hard-hit by the flooding.

Love,
Pat
