small amusements

• Last weekend, I went to Belmont, home of the talented local artist Gari Melchers. We toured his house, grounds, and studio. Check out some of his artwork here.
  
• Earlier this week, we went to the circus. I hadn't been for years, and I loved it!
  My favorite things: the blindfolded tightwalker, the guys on the rotating wheel, and the acrobats on the red swing.

I'm going to see Prince Caspian today w/ the boys & Bianca!

Also today, I'll be helping to paint sets for the next CYT performace. I'm looking forward to getting all paint-ey and messy!

to keep you from wondering where I disappeared to

Last night, I went to see seven of my friends perform in a Christian Youth Theater production of Roger & Hammerstein's Cinderella. Hope, who played the ugly stepsister Portia, gave me a free ticket for my birthday, but I had no idea I would be sitting front row, right next to the orchestra... wow. It was a smashing performance.


I decorated this mug yesterday.

It has my favorite words on it.
