Zoe arrives Nov 24!

Zoe weight about 6 pounds and has already had her first vet visit where they fell in love with her immediately. So did we. Here is a picture of Zoe with Precious.

Trips to College Park and Charleston

On Nov 5th I drove up to College Park for an NCHS alumni reunion lunch, then spent time in the office for the next 2 days. Mary Lew was a wonderful hostess. "Lucrecia Borgia" was totally wonderful at the Sunday Washington Opera matinee. It starred Rynee Fleming and Ruggero Raimondi. There was a Q and A session with the audience afterwards with Maestro Domingo and principals.

Then on to Charleston where I stayed with Patti, Jeff, Maddy, and Cucumber. We had a birthday lunch for Clara with Betsy, crepes, lots of sushi, film about mountaintop removal, and a dinner at Edgewood with the Browns III and IV. I think I will not wear that dress again until I have lost 20 pounds. I think I am brave to publish this photo.

I drove home in fog and rain with big trucks down I77 on Nov 13th.

Decorating results

Pictures of some of the new shutters, new gas logs, and wall painting and bead board. Don't you love the blue in the bathroom?
