Too tired for words.

backs

Check the shoes.
Everyone at the cocktail party, looking fine.
Relaxing and chatting.


baby and pattern

Several babies in attendance.
Brand new, crawling, slung, twirled on the terrace.

bad swag 2

Crappy swag. (Not the beer.)
We saw these ditched all over the place.
If Chicago recycles (I don't know) there are about to process a ton of these.

empty apartment

See the empty apartment?
We've been contemplating it, and yesterday we saw a couple measuring it and hugging.
New owners.
A collective sigh was heard here at Poppy's.

gift

Wendy made this for me.
I am over the moon.

hand

Poppy has exquisite hands.
Her eyebrows look pretty good too.

presenting cheese

Last night she presented the cheese.

salt

I brought the travel set of salt.

apart dark

I attended the session on review writing - I have nothing valuable to report.
The cocktails on the roof were nice.
We had Thai food delivered and laughed and ate and stumbled off to bed.

Blowing off the morning, we're gonna see the bean.

Poppy's hands are almost unnaturally dainty.

The couple's scene must have been something...you witnessed the first steps towards a life together.
Mmmmmh....Thai Food...you're killing me.

When you get home, would you please elaborate on the salt?

your blog is lovely, and also the shoes you mention...I've got a pair! love'em!

Cheers!
Love the photos and accompanying commentary.

Is that Poppy wearing a scarf and, you know, accessorized? Makes me think I should go put on some lipstick or something.
