Inside Out


I took this picture of some construction near me recently. I like the exposed painted walls.

Farewell Studs.

"I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it. "

So good!


This book is so freaking good! It's about a Hmong child with epilepsy and the struggle to get proper medical care for her in the US cause of miscommunication and cultural differences. So that may not sound like the exciting-est book ever, but it's so engaging. You read it and you feel more enlightened about the world. Or at least I did. So so good.

My favorite holiday


Happy Halloween! Don't you just love jack-o-lanterns? The more they age the creepier they get.

I love the understated 70's vibe to this look. So pretty and effortless looking.

Adorable with accents


Saving Grace (no not the tv show) is all kinds of fun. Irish drug dealers, stunning landscapes, and lots of silliness. What's not to love? This was a really fun and light hearted movie that made us both giggle a whole bunch. It reminded me a bit of Death at a Funeral.

Memories


While the documentary Summercamp! is not live changing or all that thought-provoking, it did enable me to fondly recall my many many summers of 4-H camp as well as a 6th grade camp I went o 3 times. (Once as a camper and twice as a counselor). I thought it was sweet and pointless.
