Getting ready for Serving Up Style!!!

First night in Chicago

Dinner at rosebud. Delish and HUGE Early morning tomorrow at the Casual Furniture market for only outdoor stuff! Yippee!

Last day in Paris.

So FREAKING exhausted. Loved this cheerful orange door in the Marais. So much to share..... Just waaaaaaay too tired to do it now.

Things that do not suck , part II

Today is my birthday. I am in Paris. I spent the day at the Maison et Objet show looking at seriously kick ass stuff. I had dinner outside the Louvre at Cafe Marly with Sue G's parents. (ha ha Sue & Eric!) There was beer. This was the view from our table across the courtyard at the Louvre. I received many lovely texts and Facebook birthday wishes from my dear friends. Frenchy still loves me even though I am in France without him.

None of these things suck. I am grateful.

If only I could have remembered to turn to the right (once it got a bit darker) to take a photo of the Eiffel Tower while it was blinking. It must have been the beer.....

Maison et Objet, Paris

So many pictures taken today ... But I'm waaaayyyy toooo tired to put out more than this. Dude.

Cool outdoor firepit, though. Token photo of the day. More tomorrow!

Way to go Bill!!!

First night in Paris.

Whew! I am dog tired! Had my favorite meal at a lovely neighborhood bistro. Tartare du boeuf. With beer. There was a cute little vintage shop next door and if you look closely at the last picture, you can see Obama's face next to Queen Elizabeth. Since I missed Bill's speech last night I'm going to try and see if it is on YouTube. I'm bummed to miss the presidents speech too. I love that guy.

Ok then, off to the show tomorrow! Yippee!

A walk on the beach....

At the Tillamook farmers mkt.

I had the lovely vendor make a bouquet for Miss Barbara. So damned beautiful! Red, oranges and yellows only! No pink!!!! Having a lovely day at Cape Meares...... Fresh tuna for dinner and Barbara's amazing peach pie. And beer. Lots.
