A babe in the house...

... and a picnic in the park.


This weekend is likely to be quite full of highs. we are hosting the fabulous M and C from "Desperately Seeking Sunshine" and their son.

we have also arranged a picnic in the park with some local families. I am most excited by this, they've all recently come home from China so the picnic will be filled with oodles of cuteness, love and happiness, just what the doctor ordered. I'm off to make deviled eggs, fruit cup...

Combine that with another fabulous weekend last week when my best friend of like 25 years (I wince when I say that, with pride!), her husband and her daughter came for a visit. (thanks for our newest ugly doll, its awesome) We went to the Gorgeous Shelburne Falls Massachusetts for a day trip. Simply such a cute little town where we picked up a peice of art for Magpie's room. We were so torn, there were 3 pictures we loved but alas, the price of art in small tourists towns in outrageous. Besides, I may be able to work some magic with my scrapbook supplie to come close to it if I decided I still wanted something like it.

We closed last weekend off with an awesome show at The Police concert in Hartford. Can I just say that Stewart Copeland doesn't get the press he deserves. You have not seen a drummer weave magic with all sorts of percussion instruments until you've seen him in concert. His multiple solos were fantastic, especially the one with Wrapped Around Your Finger where he alone started the song off for quite a fabulous bit with a percusion solo (without a drum in sight).

By the way, the engineers who work for me are for the most part all young, as in they were 2-4 years old when I attended a Police Concert in the 80's, they had a good giggle at my expense when they heard I was going, with my high school friend, husband and her 12 year old daughter. BUT, we were neither the oldest, youngest, nor strangest dressed people there!

I'll see you on the flip side.
