Surprise

Summer                                                               Summer Moon

Back from a birthday surprise for Carreen Heegard, fellow docent from the class of 2005. Her husband suggested that friends of Carreen show up, gradually, on a tour she was giving for friends of Elena, her daughter. And so we did.

After the tour, many of the same people drove to the Khyber Pass at the corner of Grand and Snelling in St. Paul which Eric had closed for a private party for the early afternoon.

It was a sweet time, seeing Careen surprised and her friends and family pleased at her surprise. It also gave me a chance to reconnect with friends Tom Byfield, Joanne Platt and Kathleen Rothenberger. Regular engagement with the art and with the friends who love it has trailed off since I left the program. It was good to be in the museum again and see Carreen, Tom, Joanne, Kathleen, as well as Bill Bomash and Cheryl Barnes who were at the tour.

Happy birthday next month, Carreen!
