This is an illustration from The Dutiful Daughter-in-law: The Story of Ruth. It's my mother-in-law's birthday tomorrow, and she was part of the inspiration for the story. 
One thing that surprised a lot of people was how well the University Avenue project went. There were very few glitches, and most of them were minor (at least the ones they told me about!). The project engineer said he didn't want to think about how well things were going so he didn't jinx it. By the way, the project finished under time, under budget and got extended, too!
A few years ago (several, really), the City of Provo ran a promotional campaign, "Provo's Got It, Get It!" That same summer they had a bunch of flooding and mudslides. In fact, we had a branch of the river running down the road in front of our house on 9th East. The natural disasters and the promotional tag line just seemed to fit together so well!
I did a similar cartoon for my Good Heavens strip. The punchline might be the same, but the settings are totally different.
We spent a good part of yesterday cleaning out our garage. We found all kinds of interesting treasures...not to go into too much detail, but for some reason this cartoon came to mind!
Amongst the discoveries we uncovered in the archeological dig in our garage was this old Christmas card from either middle school or high school. What's significant about this particular card is that it's from Just Me, the Mom. I thought that was pretty wild!
