Congrats Dr. Kate!!

I love knowing important people! My friend Kate finished her dissertation and has officially become a doctor!!! Not the operate on people kind, but the cool scientist kind that will someday solve all the worlds problems by creating cures for stuff!! Yeah Kate!!!


Too celebrate her years of hard work and fabulous accomplishment... her and the parentals hosted a party at the 'ole homestead outside of Woodburn. I headed out around 3:30pm and ended up staying past 10pm! It was a mighty fine party... mucho props, Dr. Kate!! Her folks have a beautiful yard, including a huge pond in the front with Coy (not sure how to spell it, and too lazy to look it up... but it's the HUMONGOUS gold fish!) and the day was absolutely perfect (especially once the sun went down) for an outdoor shin-dig. Folks were playing horseshoes in the back... the juke box was cranking anything from the Beach Boys to Creedence... tasty beverages were rolled around & delivered in a wheelbarrow... and the kitchen was packed with yummy things to munch on!! Ms. Givens showed up for awhile and it was SO great hanging with all the Zambo folks again!! (Altho Lily was definitely missed!) I somehow forgot my camera... not quite sure how that happened... but luckily Kate's dad managed to snap a few pics and Vickie and Avele captured quite a few great moments... so enjoy!

Kate & her girls!

Deep thoughts around the kitchen table!

Hot stuff... me, Ben & Ms. Givens!
