Hey - if you're here looking for new stuff, you're likely going to be disappointed. Check here instead.

The Damascus & Beyond conference in Atlanta--the 10 year Celebration of MCC's anti-racism program. There were lots of fun young people there.

Three generations of Ortman women, all oldest daughters too. My mom and I went to Sioux Falls for Easter to see my grandparents.

We Ortman women know how to laugh :-)

The next several pictures are from our April trip to Freeman and to Winnipeg. A Freeman crop duster from Hutterthal Mennonite Church offered to take Carl up for a ride in one of his planes.

We drove 6 hours straight north from Sioux Falls through North Dakota into Canada, but at no point did the scenery change.

The MCC Aboriginal Neighbours gathering in Winnipeg.

Back in Sioux Falls, grandma helped me make my first batch of zweibach.

Early May in Rapid City at the 3rd Discernment Team meeting. Sue brought playdough to entertain us during the meeting. This scene is a joint effort between myself and Iris, my supervisor. A drop of nostalgia from the Northwest.

Ruth, our facilitator, Danielle (pictured) and I collaborated to create this crazy cast of characters.

Ruth and I later made an ocean scene.

The Discernment Team.

At the last Unite to Fight anti-oppresion training in May, we took a break to go canoing and I managed to catch some of the fun on camera.

Carl is in the silver canoe in the front.

I got to see my childhood best friend Shanti Martin on our trip to DC after 2 intense days of meetings with the Anti-Racism Table.
