A little laugh to share.

Derek and I had a little in house date last night. It included assembling a chair, looking at old images from the Library of Congress and 6 games of Wahoo! (The homemade board game his pappy and great uncle made and gave to us.) A very pleasant evening indeed. I wanted to share some of the photos and funny captions we came across...enjoy!

                  "Before Marriage."

                  "After Marriage"

"An Unexpected Meeting of the Board"

"Jessie, has the furnace man been here yet? Yes Ma'am I think about five minutes ago."

PS. Derek was amazed that people had senses of humor back then. HA!

Images from the Library of Congress.

eva eun-sil han

As read on eva eun-sil han's bio:
[ Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. Nothing's going to disappear just because you can't see what's going on. In fact, things will be even worse the next time you open your eyes. That's the kind of world we live in, Mr Nakata. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand still.]

- Murakami Haruki "Kafka on the shore"

somehow I find that quote to be... absolutely perfect.

very dada and odd, but oh so inspiring.

WAHOOOOOO!

Last night, Paige and Robert came over for dinner and (the game) wahoo! I was very satisfied with the way dinner turned out, especially the appetizer, so I'm including the recipes. We started off with hummus and olive oil crackers all homemade. For the main course, I made a vegetable tortellini soup with salad. Very light, but filling. If you get a chance, try the olive oil crackers, they're really easy and so delicious, it's also really nice to know that you can make these at home vs. spending $5 on the alternative at the store for half the quantity.

In case anyone was wondering, Derek won the game of Wahoo! He had a slow start, but finished strong. Throughout the game he plays the innocent role but secretly thinks of himself as a sniper. Talk about your game face. It was fun!

I'm also including a few of Paige and Robert's engagement portraits taken last week, because that's what I do!

Osamu Yokonami

I love how whimsical and beautifully composed all his Osamu Yokonami's images are. See all these and more here.
