Alyssa [aka Gracie] and I finally spent time together in the good ole' homeland: The Inland Northwest.
I'll admit it. I'm really lonely these days. Being home and earning money is good but, you know.. it's a little stagnant. And well...
...well, it was a wonderful relief to have a sleepover with a beautiful, darling friend and meet up with two other darling friends [Kali and Bryson] to go to an amazing concert [The Five Browns; website here ] at the Fox theatre:
beautiful stage. beautiful pianos [oh, those pianos!].
My favorite piece was probably "Claire de Lune." Six hands on one piano playing one of the most beautiful melodies of all time. Exquisite!
The five magical siblings themselves, complete with terrible red eye [yeah, it's kind of a creeper shot. What can I say?].
And then we frolicked through gardens of all kinds in Manito Park on the South Hill of Downtown Spokane. The lilac garden was in full bloom, and you could smell it before you could see it. We had a great time taking pictures (all the good ones are on her Nikon), had a gluten-free, dairy-free picnic lunch, went to Auntie's bookstore, got the lovely lady some new pointe shoes, and explored all day long.
It was such a beautifully sunny day [in so many ways].
the infamous MEOW! bench
please come back, Gracie. I had a lovely time.
love, flowers, and isn't it friday yet?
