Our final photo subject was the San Antonio artist, Marilyn Lanfear. I'd met her many years ago when Freda and I went to see her work--elaborate portraits made of buttons. Because she is in the process of moving, her house was filled with boxes, but I was able to get a few shots of her artwork not yet packed. She has lived in the house she's leaving for 16 years--a quaint old house in River Road.
The house Marilyn is moving into is a house I lived in for almost a year, 16 or 17 years ago. When I first saw the Anastasia house, I thought it was the hands-down most adorable house I'd ever seen. But when the house I'm now living in became available, I was ready to let go of Adorable for More Space, and I happily moved back into the Ogden House. (I had lived here for a year before moving to the white and turquoise Anastasia house.)

Today is also the birthday of my third grandson, Nathan--HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATHAN! I wasn't there when Nathan was born, but when Will and Veronica met each other again as adults (having been high school sweethearts), Veronica had this brown-eyed little boy with the contagious laugh and we all fell in love with him.
