Spent the day in DC with Heather.

Went to the National Gallery.

If I were a painting, I'd want to be a Lippi.

Ah, tapas. Where have you been all my life?

BBQ Pato with cherry sauce.

So good.

Thursday, July 26

Probably not smart to try to snap pictures while I'm driving on roads I've never been on before, especially when they're Pennsylvania country roads in a gathering storm.

But it's a pretty cool picture, isn't it?

Wednesday, July 25

The apartments across from ours.

I think they look like a nice place to live.

But sadly, they're for 55+.

Tuesday, July 24

This picture doesn't adequately show the crazy juztaposition between fluffy cloud & dark brooding cloud.

See that blue shirted man on the line?

That's my Chipper.

Went down & saw the Braves play the Nationals.

And nobody was even mean to me at the stadium.

Waiting to watch the Dark Knight.

In our Batman shirts special for the occasion.

My bun.

I love black-eyed susans.

But they seem to me like they should be autumn flowers.

Saturday, July 14

Today, I found a giant dead beetle on the steps of my apartment building.

But it's pretty cool looking, yeah?



Friday, July 13

Sushi, ice cream & a great sea voyage.

I wish there was a sea voyage.

Looks like a great adventure though, doesn't it?

Sometimes it's the little things.

Such a fun time all dressed up in fancy dresses & hats at Jen's birthday tea party.

Don't we look so posh playing croquet?

Extremely excited about the hat I embellished for Jen's tea party tomorrow.

Love the new belt.



Thursday, July 5

Trying to stuff all my new purchases into the closet.



Wednesday, July 4

According to sistergirl,
one of the key components to a good Fourth of July
is a pancake breakfast.

And a pancake breakfast is even better when you have a pancake shaped like America.
Angie & I decided to share the spoils.
She took the west coast.
And I took the good coast.

Michelin Man flashing peace signs.

Had a little emergency tonight.

Ants took over the kitchen.

So we had to have a serious cleaning moment.



Sunday, July 1

I made some banana coconut upside down cakes today.

At munch & mingle, Sarah came up to me and asked if I made them.

Upon my affirmative response, she said,

"I could tell you made them just by looking at them."

I guess I have a cooking style.
