Suburbana

We are grateful for all that we enjoy. But, seriously, this Thanksgiving we were so happy to get out of the city. We love to cook together and it's a lot more fun in a full sized kitchen. Are you having fun, Grandma?
Please note the shelves full of glass items that my little driver isn't touching. Shopping was fun again! I wish they had these at Ann Taylor!! Tangent, this get away car did allow our budding clepto to swipe a Hershey bar which required a second trip across the parking lot to return it.

Bamboo

In a cliche world of processed everything, wrap your mind around this Bamboo sculpture! I haven't attempted an original thought today, but I'm pretty sure it would require a healthy dose of quiet time for me to generate anything as radical as this. I'm inspired, but I should start small. Where are my finger paints?

I've seen your blogs. You all posted your Halloween pictures by Nov. 1. I haven't even uploaded the photos from our camera, but my dear, punctual, friend emailed some to me from the ward party.

1. How many Halloween events are required to consider the holiday sufficiently observed?

At the operaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

No, we didn't take our younglings to Macbeth. It was actually a fanciful production of The Magic Flute. The highlights were eating pretzels with Dad and seeing our

friendly, neighborhood, opera star painted blue. When you have the time, Star and Angelfish will happily breakdown the love-triangle plot and show you sketches of their favorite costumes. They said the show got really interesting once they moved to seats with translation screens. Next time, don't be late!

Stand back! I know origami!

Paper folding?

This is a place holder photo of the girls making origami cats, hearts and pumpkins at the Kiku exhibit. Kiku is the Japanese art of growing chrysanthemums, but included an extensive tour of Japanese botanical design from the famous bonsai to gardens of gigantic bamboo sculpture and, of course, paper folding. Wait. You'll see.
