Lit Lounge - Wabi Sabi

Such a fun Friday thing to do. Listening to hilarious storytellers, sitting next to Leslie, the funniest storyteller I know. Wabi Sabi.

Wabi Sobby!

AND a band - dulcimer, accordion, really cute dress - Where Have All The Buffalo Gone?

Book Club - tiny beautiful things

Great book by Dear Sugar (Cheryl Strayed)

Like Dear Abby with an attitude.

They just dig. It's too much paint.

Tiny beautiful things like beanies and weenies, massive marshmallows, enormous skewers and lots and lots of Divas surrounding Leslie's spectacular bonfire.

Dear Sugar,
Stop on by next time. You'll fit right in.

Mah Jongg Babies

Gorgeous Gabriel

Lovely Leah

My Mah Jongg group has been yelling cracks and bams for almost fifteen years, huddling at dining room tables a couple of times a month, watching kids run around, getting ready for bed, then running off to college and leaving the nest, watching the husbands pop into the kitchen for a snack, then escape to the semi-quiet of a back room somewhere. These days we're lucky enough to catch up at a table at Fry's for a few hours worth of games, but that doesn't stop the yelling. This month we've got two BIG things to shout about - babies! Holly's little Leah and Brian's cutie Gabriel.

Time flies when you're having fun...

MammoGrahams

Sunday Shakespeare

Mesa Encore Theatre
Hilarious. A fast-paced abridged version of every Shakespearean play. Great acting. Totally original concept. I even almost got decapitated by a fake sword. 

Upcoming Fun - Rock and Butterflies!

MIM

Butterfly Wonderland

Time to get out there for some fun...

Movie Madness - Captain Phillips

I just love Tom. Even on a Sunday morning trapped on a ship surrounded by Somali pirates.

Thursday Twosome

Old Wildcat ventured down to my barrio, rescuing me from the office for a special Thursday treat at 

Barrio Queen.
Expert plumbing advice, the miraculous opening of the U.S. Government and the crazies running the place, the family tree branches from Paris to Phoenix, including a young girl's incredible journey to the west coast, stopping alone in Chicago, the Herculean effort of the Bretton Woods Conference, the low-to-the-ground-path to crystal clear ice cubes, some really good guacamole.
Made me feel like a Queen, indeed. 

Hump Day Happy Hour

Who knew the gang was so desperate to get out? Big hump day crowd for Chambord margaritas and catching up with Jill, Leslie, Jaye, Louise, Ronnie, Cecily, even MIKE, MIKE, MIKE, MIKE, MIKE showed up and so did the new Mr. T (no, not the old Mr. T).

Cheers!
