She did it!

Mom got her tattoo yesterday. She decided on a cherry blossom branch with the Chinese symbol for human life. Below is a little slide show I captured during the inking.

I also found out my uncle (and godfather) is the State attorney in a murder case this summer. Testimony in the case just started today.

This will be my last full day in North Dakota. Tomorrow morning I head out early - 4:40am - for the trip back home. Not sure what our plans are for today, but tonight we are probably going to dinner with my grandfather and his wife since they cancelled on us last night...
