We went to the Orange Street Arts Festival, and for the first time, purchased an original painting (it is the size of a postcard and it was in the clearance bin and when the artist rung us up she did say, 'my! the deal of the day') but, still, it's very pretty and now sits on our dining table waiting for a frame.
We went to the Wilmington Youth Theater's outdoor presentation of The Tempest, but we never could find the ampitheater, so just ended up exploring a new park while looking for the directory. At least we hadn't pre-bought our tickets.
We went to our favorite grocery and bought edamame dumplings and pomegranate juice and dark chocolate chip cookie dough and olive tapenade and goat cheese.
We went to this salad bar called Sweet Tomatoes, where, for some reason, I just don't know when to stop eating. Generally, I eat about 2/3 of what Sumanth eats, but today was a different story. When he went up to get frozen yogurt, I thought, 'You're kidding--right?? Dessert after only the third course? Have you even tried the eggplant pasta or the cornbread?'
We bought one of those giant bubble tubes that makes bubbles that are three feet long.
Sumanth got his first blurb from Publisher's Weekly, calling him a 'gifted newcomer'. He said that he feels neither gifted nor new.
I started the watercolors for a children's book I'm hoping to write. The problem is that everything I paint turns out looking like a ghost.
Any suggestions? Any illustrators?

maybe your watercolors SHOULD look like ghosts. they are, after all, part of every childhood.
i would have matched you course for course at sweet tomato. it's not a place for moderation.
The only time I have been to the Sweet Tomato was in Tampa, Fl...when coincidentally...we had just picked you and Jodi up from the airport one time when you were home from Wheaton. I do remember the food being delish, but more so, I remember the crowded van :)
