hola!

Here's a link to a few more pics from the week.

Darick's art show was great!  Here is a link to his blog and specifically to his gallery page.  It was a lot of fun to see his art up at the Kentuck!  As a very generous "thank you" for helping put frames together the neighbors gifted me with "Shimmering Shoals"  which is beautifully framed and now hanging along the staircase in the house - I'l upload a pic of it soon but it is also on his blog gallery!  Emily and I made brownies, cookies, and pickles wrapped in cream cheese and ham for the opening the night before and that was a lot of fun.  you may not think the pickle appetizer is all that tasty sounding, but it is!  They went like hotcakes the night of the opening!  It was a great night to spend outside drinking with friends, nibbling on snacks, and looking at art...

In a few days Dan, Hannah, and I will go to Atlanta for an overnight trip.  Seeing Ted Leo at the Drunken Unicorn is the main impetus for the trip, but we'll also head to REI and Trader Joe's for supplies (coffee!! nuts!! dried fruit!!).  Dan will be able to pick up a few things for his upcoming summer Iceland trip, gotta spend that dividend!

Mocking birds have been disrupting our quiet household.  Namely their choice to procreate means they are aggressive as al get out.  Each of us have been dive bombed repeatedly, mostly Hannah.  The poor girl doesn't know what to make of it aside from the fact that the outdoors is now scary.  So now Dan and I protect her with a tennis racket as she relieves herself in the backyard...Sigh...
