neighborhood family fun

[ I have a lot of camera clean-off to do,...and here's one little fun-day from it! ]

Somewhere in the middle of all my job transitioning the past few weeks >> I was lucky enough to join my Grandma & aunt Teresa for a little Linden Hills adventure. We had a lovely lunch, walked the neighborhood a bit and simply enjoyed the afternoon. It was lovely!


...and of couse, we made a much needed stop at the always tasty: Sebastian Joe's. ❤

Transportation buddies

Out and about today.

Liked this at the co-op. Go Michigan?!
...It's good for both parties: Weeeee!

( Errr. ) ❤

my goodness...this man. this jam.

I was lucky enough to see this man last weekend >> and my goodness. ...I don't know what it is, but I can stop watching this video; his stupid-sexy moves. BAH. [ Don't worry,...husband agrees. ]

Seriously >> addicted to this for life.

a little of this

...with all the designers and students and tech-types, at the coffeeshop.

I always wondered who those people were. ...the ones that spent their entire day working at their computers in these sort of spaces. It still kinda blows my mind. ❤

the switch

Well friends >> the time has come.

...I've been sneaking up on 7 steady years of work at the Orchestra, but it's time for a little transition.

Just a couple weeks ago >> I was offered a position at a little shop called Rêve. I'll share more after I get in, get settled—but just know, it's going to be good.

For now however >> I say FAREWELL to co-workers who have become my small daily family, and lots of work I never could have dreamed I'd be a part of. I mean >> Jim Brickman?!?! - growing up, playing piano—I loved that guy. Ha! Ben Folds? ...he's pretty cool. Dave Brubeck? So classy. ...and THE LORD OF THE RINGS Symphony!!! Ahhh!! ( watch as much of that video as you can,...it's beautiful. ) I've been so lucky to be a part of such great work and design for such amazing musical projects. Really.

As I said to my crew, though: I'm not leaving the city—i'm still here. We're still friends, and we'll hang out again, right? Right. ❤

here we go…!!!

this makes me laugh

Oh my goodness, I can't stop laughing when I look at this thing.

We may have found this on Craigslist,...after seeing the posting up for months and months. We'd been watching it, joking & thinking that it'd be pretty funny to own and drive around the neighborhood. We finally decided to give them a call >> and took a look this past weekend. They guy selling it was awesome,...and basically gave it to us. Clearly >> he just wanted the thing out of his hands. !!! Consider these the BEFORE shots. It's gonna look pretty sweet when my awesome-and-handy-husband is done with it. BAM!

Behold! The pedal car!

LA: from the phone

  
  
    
  
  
  
  
...just a little unload from the phone before I get to the pictures from my camera. I even took video! YES!
[ LA was wonderful,...probably because of Kelly, and her existence. ]
