happy 3 year anniversary us!

this friday is our 3 year wedding anniversary. this photo was taken a few weeks before groundcat proposed (over hebrew national hotdogs in the nook!) we were at his friends wedding in detroit. i think something about being at a wedding got us thinking about getting hitched ourselves. we should have kept the book. it had a lot of weird advice from the 1920's.


2 obsessions....

i love the new turbine. i think it's cool and creepy, and someday i'm going to drive up closer and get more pics. i can't wait til it starts spinning!


this tavern is new work. i've never been inside. but it looks so... late 70's. i imagine the interior being dark and old, the patrons all part of some 30 year old time warp....

frog rescue...

gilly keeps finding frogs in this piece of drain pipe.  she likes to nudge them with her nose.  we always scoop them up gently and put them on the other side of the fence.  we've had about 15 frogs this year, which is nuts.

is it 15 different frogs or the same one coming back?  that is the mystery...

about schmidt... (movie review)


i loved this movie.  click here to read the wiki.  i'm too busy at work to write a long review about it.

my short review- this movie is incredibly sad, funny, depressing and sweet.  maybe "bittersweet" is the word....nicholson is amazing.  i actually forgot it was him playing the part, something so not typical for this actor.  i also loved seeing him with a wife (the lovely old helen) his own age.  we're used to seeing older actors with much younger women playing their wives, so this was interesting.

loved it!!!
