The highlight of my Sunday morning perusal of the paper (or late afternoon or evening, whatever time I can grab that day) usually consists of finding a $2.00 off coupon for diapers. Sadly, this is true. Imagine my delight when I find not one, but two people that I know pictured within the various sections!
First we have Johnny, my nephew, who sat atop a large pumpkin this time last year, had his picture taken, and created a media storm. OK, well at least a media storm in our family as the picture was distributed around the world to various news outlets! I was out in Riverside, CA, this weekend with my sister, her daughter Sarah, my Mom, and Cub to attend a wedding. Late Sunday night after getting Cub to sleep, Mom and I were reading in our hotel room and winding down from the day’s events. I’m flipping through the Travel section of the Riverside paper and there’s Johnny, once again atop that pumpkin! The photo ran with an AP article advertising the upcoming pumpkin festival in Half Moon Bay. I gasp, show my Mom, we crack up, and I head over to my sister’s room (via adjoining doors) and literally wake her up to show her. (It sounds pretty cold of me as she has a 5-week old and her sleep is frequently disrupted, but I don’t think she minded.) If you spotted it in your local paper, please let me know.
Then just yesterday, after arriving back in Honolulu, I was looking for Johnny in what remained of Sunday’s paper back home. I’m casually looking at some food items in the USA Weekend supplement when my friend Elsa’s picture pops up at me from page 4. She has modeled for stock photography, and here she is above with a pseudo family ordering a meal. The picture above is a bit grainy because I scanned the paper as I couldn’t find it online.
