Market Saturday

I'm not much into teddy bears, but this one upstairs at the media foundry for Market Saturday in downtown looked friendly.

That 70s window

We'll see how this window in our kitchen will do in growing herbs. It's great when the weather is mild. Not so helpful when it's below zero. Eventually we want to replace it, but I'd like to make it useful until then.

Alex the cat

This is probably one of the best pix on my blog because my husband took it. And he doesn't even like cats, especially ours.

Roman and Williams

This is the office of the team behind such hip hotels as The Ace Hotel in NYC. I'm beyond words with their surroundings! rwpress.blogpsot.com

A couple more

pictures from Winterset. The diorama is from The Pheasant Run bar.

Winterset

Took a gray day drive to Winterset, IA, the birthplace of John Wayne and home of the covered bridges.

Delancey

I wish I was visiting Seattle in the near future. Molly, the author of Orangette, and her husband recently opened Delancey (I also happen to love that name) there, specializing in wood-fired pizzas. YUM! Visit her blog for more behind-the-scenes about opening a restaurant and mouth-watering pictures of the food.

Vancouver II

Me with stylist Janna Lufkin, who lives in Seattle. Other pix are from a walk to Stanley Park and from the Hotel Sylvia along the English Bay. Beautiful.

Vancouver

Traveled here last week for a photo shoot and loved it. I really, really like the pacific Northwest. Weather was great, views spectacular, and the shoot went really well. The bottom shot is from the Museum of Anthropology.

Reading

I'm devouring Pat Conroy's latest, South of Broad. My mom recently finished the book and loved it, and I am loving it as well. I wish that the main character, Leo, was a real person.

Fourth Grade

It's hard to believe our little man is a fourth grader. He sat down with me a few nights ago to discuss his first day of school. He really likes his teacher. Yay.

Summer trip

I had a work trip to NYC in August, so Mark and Evan joined me for Evan's first trip to the big city. I'll post some pictures soon.
