Where Is Dimitra?: February 2009

The story of Dimitra goes back to 2004. It begins with my Aunt Mary who is a world traveler and a Philadelphia Public School teacher. In the spring of 2004 Aunt Mary entered several of her students into an essay contest about the "Olympic Spirit". The winning student would get an all expenses paid trip to the Athens Olympics along with a parent and their teacher.

One of her students won, and Aunt Mary got a trip to the Olympic games. Upon her return, I got Dimitra.

Being a 24 year old male, I had no real use for a greek goddess doll/keychain made out of cheesecloth. Thus, Dimitra sat in a box for several years until she was unpacked in her home in Boulder, Co.

What started as "where the hell do we put this thing", turned into a game between me and my beautiful girlfriend Mara. Over the next several weeks Dimitra would randomly appear throughout the house, hanging from light fixtures, sitting in car seats, chillin' on a scratching post, or taking a trip in the washing machine.

And thus, "Where is Dimitra?" is born...

Valentine's Day with Dimitra

Abigail met Dimitra on Valentine's day. She thought that Dimitra was "beautiful".

We made some cat masks. Here is Abigail wearing the mask she worked hard to create.

Dimitra needed a matching mask of course!

Meow-mitra.

Dimitra's Disguise!

Dimitra is looking mysterious in her lovely mask...

But Jesse is ignoring her...sigh.
