Christmas Eve

The Corcoran with George

George and I went to the John Singer Sargeant exhibit at the Corcoran Museum of Art. This exhibit focused on Sargeant's seascapes.

After viewing the exhibit, we went to Potbelly's for lunch. He had a sandwich and I had a veggie salad.

Obama, of course, lives only a block away from this Potbelly. He has probably been here.

Eating Thai with Stephanie

My colleague Stephanie and I had a delightful lunch at the Thai restaurant in Shirlington Village.

We started out with vegetarian spring rolls.

Stephanie is very good with chopsticks.

I had the usual, pad thai.

Lunch at National Airport

I met my old friend Jill at National Airport just before she flew back to Minneapolis. We lunched at TGIFriday's. We had a chance to catch up quickly before she took off.

Founding Farmers

Chris, Denny, and Kay - a mini-mini Washburn High School '59 class reunion

We had a fantastic dinner at the Founding Farmers restaurant in Washington, DC near the GWU campus.

We began our meal with flatbread and corn bread.

Flatbread with brie, onion jam, and

the best cornbread anywhere in the world!

Kay had X, mashed potatoes, and French green beans.

Denny had salmon, mashed potatoes, and French green beans.

Chris had a "nice little salad" - a Farmer's Salad with greens, olives, parmesan cheese, croutons, and lots of dates.

It was Denny's birthday. Here he is blowing out the candle on his delicious Apple Crisp dessert.

Christmas Revels: Italian Renaissance

Christian enjoyed going to the theater with the Amici Italiani di Fairfax Meet-Up.

It was a wonderful program with music and dance from the Italian Renaissance. Lucio and his wife enjoyed it.

Gingerbread House Disaster!

We tried to make a gingerbread house but an earthquake destroyed it!

Sons of Norway Christmas Bazaar

The Washington Sons of Norway lodge held its annual Christmas bazaar. I volunteered and was assigned the fabrics table. Here I am, enjoying myself!



Carla Danziger was signing copies of her wonderful mystery, Hidden Falls.
