reading: animal, vegetable, miracle by barbara kingsolver
excerpt from page 16: "Food cultures concentrate a population's collective wisdom about the plants and animals that grow in a place, and the complex ways of rendering them tasty. These are mores of survival, good health, and control of excess. Living without such a culture would seem dangerous. And here we are, sure enough in trouble."

thinking this is such a great idea:

Survived

So, I survived my 20 yr high school reunion last weekend. Actually not only survived, but had a wonderful time! The night went way too fast......5 hours just isn't enough time to catch up on 20 yrs with 50 people! I think for most of the night I was just hanging back, looking at people. It's so surreal to see everyone as "grown-ups". So, all in all, it was a great night and hopefully we'll be able to keep in a little bit better touch now.......with facebook there's no reason not to! Gotta love facebook.

Oh!! And, I finally found THE photos to hang on the bare expanse of a wall over our tv. I'm so excited to get them framed and hung. I will post a picture as soon as I get it done. For a sneak peak, here they are:

If you'd like your own, you can buy them here from Urban Design Photography. They are so amazing in person! Oh yah, and remember the photo "Greener Grass"(see July 17th's post) by Alicia Bock? Well, my super thoughtful sister got me that print for an early b-day present! I am so lucky...and can't wait to see that one, too!

Finished Wish Flags......

We had our last art class last Saturday and we were able to create our wish flags for Heather's new baby (who should be here any day!) Here's some pictures of the finished products:

It was such a fun class....I was sad to see it end, except for the fact that the room we had to be in had no a/c...and we were having the worst heat wave EVER. Besides that, I learned so much from our teacher, Joe and the rest of my cohort. Joe said he thinks we should all finish getting our degrees and start our own school.....wouldn't that be awesome?!
